Although biosynthetic pathways of selenium-containing macromolecules have been known for decades, pathways for specific incorporation of selenium into small molecules have only recently begun to be uncovered. Now the selenometabolome is expanded further through the discovery and biosynthetic elucidation of ov...
Active site: Region on the surface of an enzyme to which substrates bind and which catalyses a chemical reaction involving the substrates. 小的那个是substrate,大的是enzyme 3.6.2 Explain enzyme substrate specificity. The active site of an enzyme is veryspecificto its substrates as it has a very...

Higher concentrations give lower rates, in a solvent-specific and enzyme-specific manner. Hydroxylic solvents may replace water as acceptor of a phosphoryl, glycosyl, or acyl group produced by a hydrolytic enzyme. Non-aqueous solvents also make it possible to run hydrolytic reactions in the ...
substrate in the enzyme substrate complex or in substrate binding partner-substrate complex; randomizing the active site residues to produce a combinatorial library of substrate variants; and selecting substrate variants that inhibit enzyme activity or bind substrate as substrate-specific binding partners....
2.5.U1 Enzymes have an active site to which specific substrates bind. 2.5.U2 Enzyme catalysis involves molecular motion and the collision of substrates with the active site. 酶促反应中,反应物称为底物(substrate),生成物称为产物(product)。酶的作用就是把底物结合到一个特殊的结构中,这个结构叫活性位...

During the course of the reaction, the E binds to S and forms a transient enzyme–substrate complex (ES). At the end of the reaction, the product(s) are formed and the enzyme remains unchanged. Active site or catalytic site is the specific place in the E where S binds. The structural...
Orientation was not found to change the specific activity. In Chapter 3, SAM surfaces functionalized with EG3-MAL, EG3-OH and EG3-ME terminated linkers were made to explore the effects of surface characteristics on immobilized NfsB. We found that for mixed surfaces a mole ratio of 1:10 EG3-...
