KDAC8 with High Basal Velocity Is Not Activated by N-Acetylthioureas. [PDF]
Lysine deacetylases (KDACs) are enzymes that reverse the post-translational modification of lysine acetylation. Recently, a series of N-acetylthioureas were synthesized and reported to enhance the activity of KDAC8 with a fluorogenic substrate.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Effect of activation energy microheterogeneity on first‐order enzyme deactivation
The influence of microheterogeneity on enzyme inactivation kinetics is examined. A continuous normal distribution of the thermal activation energy is assumed, and using this, a simple mathematical model is developed to find the activity–time trajectories

The Role of Cytokines in Activation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Dengue Shock Syndrome [PDF]
In a prospective clinical study of 50 patients with Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS), we investigated the association of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and IL-6 with activation markers of coagulation

Expression and regulation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in human and rat pancreatic islets. [PDF]
As shown by transgenic mouse models and by using phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitors, PDE3B has an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. However, very little is known about the regulation of the enzyme.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Determination of enzyme activities with the enzyme thermistor unit [PDF]
Practically all enzyrnic reactions can be followed by calorimetry. Important advantages of this technique are that the optical properties of the sample do not interfere with the measurements and that no auxiliary enzymic reactions are required such as those leading to changes in optical absorption that can be followed spectrophotometrically.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.
