Measurement of cutaneous inflammation: estimation of neutrophil content with an enzyme marker.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982 We examined the hypothesis that myeloperoxidase (MPO), a plentiful constituent of neutrophils, might serve as a marker for tissue neutrophil content. To completely extract MPO from either neutrophils or skin, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) was

Isolation of nitric oxide synthetase, a calmodulin-requiring enzyme.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1990 Nitric oxide mediates vascular relaxing effects of endothelial cells, cytotoxic actions of macrophages and neutrophils, and influences of excitatory amino acids on cerebellar cyclic GMP.

Enzymes as chaperones and chaperones as enzymes
FEBS Letters, 1998 Chaperones and foldases are two groups of accessory proteins which assist maturation of nascent peptides into functional proteins in cells. Protein disulfide isomerase, a foldase, and ATP‐dependent proteases, responsible for degradation of misfolded proteins in cells, both have intrinsic chaperone activities.

Kinetic Characterization and X-ray Structure of a Mutant of Haloalkane Dehalogenase with Higher Catalytic Activity and Modified Substrate Range [PDF]
, 1996 Conversion of halogenated aliphatics by haloalkane dehalogenase proceeds via the formation of a covalent alkyl-enzyme intermediate which is subsequently hydrolyzed by water.

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020 Background Bacillus subtilis is widely used for the industrial production of recombinant proteins, mainly due to its high secretion capacity, but higher production yields can be achieved only if bottlenecks are removed.

Synergistic action of the gut microbiota in environmental RNA interference in a leaf beetle
Microbiome, 2021 Background RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as an efficient tool to control insect pests. When insects ingest double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) targeted against essential genes, strong gene silencing and mortality can be induced.

A new intrinsic thermal parameter for enzymes reveals true temperature optima [PDF]
, 2004 Two established thermal properties of enzymes are the Arrhenius activation energy and thermal stability. Arising from anomalies found in the variation of enzyme activity with temperature, a comparison has been made of experimental data for the activity ...

New England Journal of Medicine, 1993 BACKGROUND Renal function declines progressively in patients who have diabetic nephropathy, and the decline may be slowed by antihypertensive drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether captopril has kidney-protecting properties independent
