New Catalytic Residues and Catalytic Mechanism of the RNase T1 Family [PDF]
The ribonuclease T1 family, including RNase Po1 secreted by Pleurotus ostreatus, exhibits antitumor activity. Here, we resolved the Po1/guanosine-3'-monophosphate complex (3'GMP) structure at 1.75 Å. Structure comparison and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculation between the apo form and the Po1/3'GMP complex identified Phe38, Phe40, and Glu42 as

Catalytic mechanism of F1-ATPase
The structure of the core catalytic unit of ATP synthase, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma, has been determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing a roughly symmetrical arrangement of alternating alpha and beta subunits around a central cavity in which helical portions of gamma are found.

Structural and Functional Basis of JAMM Deubiquitinating Enzymes in Disease
Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are a group of proteases that are important for maintaining cell homeostasis by regulating the balance between ubiquitination and deubiquitination.

Evolution of a Catalytic Mechanism [PDF]
The means by which superfamilies of specialized enzymes arise by gene duplication and functional divergence are poorly understood. The escape from adaptive conflict hypothesis, which posits multiple copies of a gene encoding a primitive inefficient and highly promiscuous generalist ancestor, receives support from experiments showing that resurrected ...

Catalytic mechanisms for phosphotriesterases [PDF]
Phosphotriesters are one class of highly toxic synthetic compounds known as organophosphates. Wide spread usage of organophosphates as insecticides as well as nerve agents has lead to numerous efforts to identify enzymes capable of detoxifying them. A wide array of enzymes has been found to have phosphotriesterase activity including phosphotriesterase (

Recent Advances and Promises in Nitrile Hydratase: From Mechanism to Industrial Applications
Nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) is one type of metalloenzyme participating in the biotransformation of nitriles into amides. Given its catalytic specificity in amide production and eco-friendliness, NHase has overwhelmed its chemical counterpart ...
