A Universal Structural Grammar in Enzyme Fold for Predicting Drug Target Stability: Deciphering Directional Scaffolding via Multi-Stage Pearson Correlation of Asymmetric Contact Matrices [PDF]
PharmaceuticsBackground/Objectives: Traditional protein contact analysis often fails to distinguish between local, sequence-driven motifs and global, tertiary scaffolding, which ensures structural determinism.

Catalysis by Nucleoside Hydrolases [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2003 Nucleoside hydrolases cleave the N-glycosidic bond of ribonucleosides. Because of their vital role in the protozoan purine salvage pathway, nucleoside hydrolases from parasitic protozoa in particular have been studied extensively by X-ray crystallography, kinetic methods and site-directed mutagenesis.

Induction and Repression of Hydrolase Genes in Aspergillus oryzae
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, also known as yellow koji mold, produces high levels of hydrolases such as amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes. This property of producing large amounts of hydrolases is one of the reasons why A.
