Active site-specific immunoassays [PDF]
This study describes a process by which serine proteases that contain an S-1 arginine subsite and active site histidine may be inactivated and subsequently quantitated using a combination of peptidyl chloromethylketone chemistry and immune recognition technology.

Mechanistically informed predictions of binding modes for carbocation intermediates of a sesquiterpene synthase reaction. [PDF]
Sesquiterpenoids comprise a class of terpenoid natural products with thousands of compounds that are highly diverse in structure, generally containing a polycyclic carbon backbone that is constructed by a sesquiterpene synthase.

Understanding of Active Sites and Interconversion of Pd and PdO during CH4 Oxidation
Pd-based catalysts are widely used in the oxidation of CH4 and have a significant impact on global warming. However, understanding their active sites remains controversial, because interconversion between Pd and PdO occurs consecutively during the ...

Metagenomic characterization of sphingomyelinase C in the microbiome of humans and environments
Bacterial sphingomyelinases (SMases) hydrolyze sphingomyelin and play an important role in membrane dynamics and the host immune system. While the number of sequenced genomes and metagenomes is increasing, a limited number of experimentally validated ...

Insights Into the Carboxyltransferase Reaction of Pyruvate Carboxylase From the Structures of Bound Product and Intermediate Analogs [PDF]
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the MgATP- and bicarbonate-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, an important anaplerotic reaction in central metabolism.
