Liq. sepn. methods in combination with electrospray mass spectrometry as well as the recently introduced fragmentation method electron capture dissocn. (ECD) have become powerful tools in proteomics research. This paper presents the results of the first su ...
Combinatorial mutagenesis was used to investigate the role of three key residues in cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Arg48, Trp51, and Trp191, in control of the reactivity and selectivity of the heme-contg. enzyme. Libraries wer ...
Recent advances in peptide fragmentation techniques and mass spectrometry have opened up the possibility of combining peptide sepn. techniques, such as capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capillary liq. chromatog., with Fourier transform ion cyclotron reson ...
The emergence of drug-resistant variants is a serious side effect assocd. with acquired immune deficiency syndrome therapies based on inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease (HIV-1 PR). In these variants, compensatory mutations, usually ...
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein acting as a reverse transcriptase, has been identified as a target for cancer drug discovery. The synthetic, non-nucleosidic compound, BIBR1532, is a potent and selective telomerase inhibitor capable of inducing senescence i ...
In this article a method is suggested for restricting a sample (spatial localization) by preparing the magnetization with a phase-modulated radiofrequency pulse which inverts magnetization only over a very narrow range of radiofrequency field strengths. Th ...
The efficiency of selection for catalysis by phage display library was studied using a ligase (the Escherichia coli biotin ligase BirA) and an endopeptidase (the rat trypsin His57->Ala mutant) as model enzymes. These enzymes could be displayed on phage as ...
Many solid-state NMR experiments are sensitive to inhomogeneity in the radiofrequency field. We propose a method to restrict the sample volume, in magic angle spinning experiments, using a static magnetic field gradient and a selective pulse. The position ...
Methylobacterium dichloromethanicum DM4 is able to grow with dichloromethane as the sole carbon and energy source by using a dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase (GST) for the conversion of dichloromethane to formaldehyde. Mammalian homol ...
The inter- and intramol. interactions between the different domains of the catalase-peroxidase KatG from Mycobacterium tuberculosis were analyzed using the two-hybrid assay. It was shown that the dimerization of the enzyme is due to a strong interaction of ...
