Use of a distant reporter group as evidence for a conformational change in a sensory receptor [PDF]
, 1977 A highly sensitive method for demonstrating ligand-induced conformational changes in protein molecules in solution is described. The method utilizes an environmentally sensitive reporter group that is known to be distant from the active site.

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]
, 2003 A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...

Incorporation in vitro of labeled amino acids into proteins of rabbit reticuloytes [PDF]
, 1952 Continuing our work on the incorporation of labeled amino acids into proteins (1), we have begun a study of the incorporation in vitro of C14-labeled glycine, L-histidine, L-leucine, and L-lysine into the proteins of rabbit reticulocytes.

In Vitro Stability and Inactivation of Peptide Hydrolases Extracted from Phaseolus vulgaris L [PDF]
, 2017 Endopeptidase activity against azocasein had a higher temperature optimum (50°C) in leaf extracts than in cotyledon extracts (37°C). The temperature optima for aminopeptidase (46°C) and for carboxypeptidase (53°C) were similar in leaf and cotyledon ...

Enzymatic semisynthesis of insulin specifically labelled with tritium at position B-30 [PDF]
, 2017 We have synthesized porcine insulin labelled with tritium at position B-30 using enzyme-catalysed formation of a peptide bond. The resulting insulin derivative has the label in the expected position and is biologically active.

Pseudomurein endoisopeptidases PeiW and PeiP, two moderately related members of a novel family of proteases produced in Methanothermobacter strains [PDF]
, 2017 Sequence comparison of pseudomurein endoisopeptidases PeiW encoded by the defective prophage ΨM100 of Methanothermobacter wolfeii, and PeiP encoded by phage ΨM2 of Methanothermobacter marburgensis, revealed that the two enzymes share only limited ...
