Identifying the Active Sites of a Single Atom Catalyst with pH-Universal Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity

Cell Reports Physical Science, 2020
Summary: Single-atom catalysts (SACs), combining the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, have attracted significant interest. Rational design and synthesis of SACs requires a clear understanding of the real active sites in different pH ...

Two Sides of Quantum-Based Modeling of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions: Mechanistic and Electronic Structure Aspects of the Hydrolysis by Glutamate Carboxypeptidase

Molecules, 2021
We report the results of a computational study of the hydrolysis reaction mechanism of N-acetyl-l-aspartyl-l-glutamate (NAAG) catalyzed by glutamate carboxypeptidase II.

Functional variation among LPMOs revealed by the inhibitory effects of cyanide and buffer ions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study addresses the inhibition of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) by cyanide and explains how and why the magnitude of observed inhibitory effects depends on the way LPMO reactions are setup and on the type of LPMO. Enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono‐copper polysaccharide‐degrading peroxygenases that ...

Unveiling the Active Site of Metal-Free Nitrogen-doped Carbon for Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Cell Reports Physical Science, 2020
Summary: Nitrogen-doped (N-doped) carbon materials have been widely studied for electrocatalytic CO2R to CO. However, the active sites in N-doped carbon remain under debate owing to the complication in N types and the challenge in controllable synthesis.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Bioinformatics Analysis and Gene Cloning of L-Lactate Dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023
In this study, L-lactate dehydrogenase (Lr-L-LDH) from Lactobacillus rhamnosus was investigated. The well-known Lr-L-LDH1 was taken as the control, differences between Lr-L-LDH1 and Lr-L-LDH2 annotated from the genome of L. rhamnosus were analyzed.

Acceleration of enzymatic reactions due to nearby inactive binding sites [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Research, v6, 043330 (2024)
Many biological molecular motors and machines are driven by chemical reactions that occur in specific catalytic sites. We study whether the arrival of molecules to such an active site can be accelerated by the presence of a nearby inactive site. Our approach is based on comparing the steady-state current in simple models to reference models without an ...

Structural and mechanistic basis for the regulation of the chloroplast signal recognition particle by (p)ppGpp

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...
