What is the substrate of the enzyme amylase? Why is it important to understand how enzymes function? How does pH affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? Explain enzyme specificity and the types of specificities there are. How to test for enzymes ...
Despite loop-forming insertions in the sequence of the yeast enzyme, the overall structures and architectures of the active sites of the dihydropyrimidinases are strikingly similar to each other, as well as to those of hydantoinases, dihydroorotases, and other members of the amidohydrolase ...

As shown in Figures4and5, recombinantArabidopsisPGGT1 exhibited high selectivity for the terminal amino acid of the Ca1a2X motif. Only GFP-BD-CaaX substrates ending in leucine were significantly prenylated by this enzyme (not even CVII, which is a good substrate for mammalian PGGT1, was appre...
EnzymeGlyoxalase IMechanismQM-clusterQuantum mechanical (QM) cluster approach is a useful and convenient tool to study mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. Our investigation is to propose a proper QM-cluster that reproduces the special specificity of glyoxalase I (GlxI). GlxI converts S and R ...
Understanding COVID-19 abzymes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, has a protein on its surface called the Spike protein. When the virus begins to infect a cell, the Spike protein binds a protein called Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, or ACE2, on the cell's surface. ACE2's nor...
The mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) nuclear entry, required for productive infection, is not fully understood. Here, we report that in HeLa cells and activated CD4+ T cells infected with HIV-1 pseudotyped with VSV-G and native Env pro
When it was not possible to measure further, the KM was reported as below the lowest substrate concentration for which a rate could be determined. Conversions Substrate conversions were performed at pH 7.5, using 5.0-mM substrate (1% MeOH), 0.10-mM NADPH, 2.0-μM enzyme, 5.0-μM phosphite...
