Physiology of trans‐translation deficiency in Bacillus subtilis – a comparative proteomics study
Abstract trans‐Translation is the most effective ribosome rescue system known in bacteria. While it is essential in some bacteria, Bacillus subtilis possesses two additional alternative ribosome rescue mechanisms that require the proteins BrfA or RqcH. To investigate the physiology of trans‐translation deficiency in the model organism B.

Partial purification of adenosine deaminase from protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]
Adenosine deaminase has been partially purified from protoscoleces of E. granulosus by gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G100. The molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel filtration was about 44000 dalton with specific activity ...

On the Origin of Substrate Specificity of Enzymes from the Amidohydrolase Superfamily
Comprehensive analyses of two enzyme classes from the amidohydrolase superfamily (AHS) revealed that catalysis proceeds either via 1,4 or 1,6 nucleophilic conjugate addition and that this property defines substrate specificity. Moreover, although all substrates and products are entirely achiral, this mechanistic difference results in an inverted ...
