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 ...
The exponential increase in the submission of nucleotide sequences to the nucleotide sequence database by genome sequencing centres has resulted in a need for rapid, automatic methods for classification of the resulting protein sequences. There are several ...
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 ...
A 33-residue de novo designed peptide ligase is reported which catalyzes the template-directed condensation of suitably activated short peptides with catalytic efficiencies in excess of 105 ([kcat/Km]/kuncat). The ligase peptide, derived from natural and d ...
Zinc(II)-beta-lactamases are among the latest generation of antibiotic-resistant enzymes developed by bacteria against beta-lactams. Here we have used density functional theory to provide the full structure of the catalytic site from Bacillus cereus mononu ...
The epoxide hydrolase from Rhodotorula glutinis was isolated and initially characterized. The enzyme was membrane associated and could be solubilized by Triton X-100. Purification yielded an enzyme with sp. act. of 66 mu mol 1,2-epoxyhexane hydrolyzed min( ...
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 ...
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 ...
The aim of the present work was to investigate whether uncoupling of catabolism from anabolism, which was often obsd. in heterotrophic microorganisms under energy-sufficient growth conditions, also occurs in the autotrophic bacterium M. thermoautotrophicum ...
Math. description of metabolic systems allows the calcn. of the expected responses of metab. to genetic modifications and the identifications of the most promising targets for metabolic engineering. Metabolic control anal. (MCA) provides such a description ...
