Direct Single Molecule Imaging of Enhanced Enzyme Diffusion [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 128101 (2019), 2018 Recent experimental results have shown that active enzymes can diffuse faster when they are in the presence of their substrates. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which relies on analyzing the fluctuations in fluorescence intensity signal to measure the diffusion coefficient of particles, has typically been employed in most of the prior ...

The Mg2+ requirements of nonactivated and activated rat liver phosphorylase kinase Inhibition of the activated form by free Mg2+ [PDF]
, 1984 Incubation of rat liver phosphorylase kinase in the presence of MgATP results in a time-dependent increase in activity, i.e., activation. Determination of the magnitude of activation depends, in large part, on the relative concentrations of Mg2+ and ATP ...

In vivo activation of methyl-coenzyme M reductase by carbon monoxide
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) from methanogenic archaea catalyzes the rate-limiting and final step in methane biosynthesis. Using coenzyme B (CoBSH) as the two-electron donor, MCR reduces methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-SCoM) to methane and the mixed ...

Optimization of collective enzyme activity via spatial localization [PDF]
J. Chem. Phys. 139, 135101 (2013), 2013 The spatial organization of enzymes often plays a crucial role in the functionality and efficiency of enzymatic pathways. To fully understand the design and operation of enzymatic pathways, it is therefore crucial to understand how the relative arrangement of enzymes affects pathway function. Here we investigate the effect of enzyme localization on the

A survey of orphan enzyme activities [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2007 Using computational database searches, we have demonstrated previously that no gene sequences could be found for at least 36% of enzyme activities that have been assigned an Enzyme Commission number. Here we present a follow-up literature-based survey involving a statistically significant sample of such "orphan" activities.

Assessment of Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase1 (PARP1) expression and activity in cells purified from blood and milk of dairy cattle [PDF]
, 2018 Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PAR) is a post-translational protein modification catalysed by enzyme member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) family. The activation of several PARPs is triggered by DNA strand breakage and the main PARP enzyme involved
