Long-range electron transfer in structurally engineered pentaammineruthenium (histidine-62) cytochrome c [PDF]
, 1989 In many biological processes, long-range electron transfer (ET) plays a key role. When the three-dimensional structures of proteins are accurately known, use of modified proteins and protein-protein complexes provides an experimental approach to study ET

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998 Both apolipoprotein (apo) E2 and apoE-Leiden (tandem repeat of amino acids 121–127) are associated with type III hyperlipoproteinemia and bind defectively to low density lipoprotein receptors. Removing the carboxyl terminus of both variants (residues 192–

Frog foams and natural protein surfactants [PDF]
, 2017 Foams and surfactants are relatively rare in biology because of their potential to harm cell membranes and other delicate tissues. However, in recent work we have identified and characterized a number of natural surfactant proteins found in the foam ...

Site-directed mutation of a laccase from Thermus thermophilus: Effect on the activity profile [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 A site-directed mutant R453T of a laccase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 (Tth-laccase) was constructed in order to investigate the effect on laccase catalytic properties. The mutated gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli.

Strategies for studying permeation at voltage-gated ion channels [PDF]
, 1991 Voltage-dependent ion channels are presently thought to consist of several distinct functional regions: (a) activation gates, (b) inactivation gates, and permeation pathways.

In silico Analysis and Site-directed Mutagenesis of Promoters
Bio-Protocol, 2017 In normal as in cancerous cells, gene expression is tightly regulated by transcription factors, which are responsible for up- or down-regulation of thousands of targets involved in different cell processes. Transcription factors can directly regulate the

Improved immobilization of laccase on a glassy carbon electrode by oriented covalent attachment [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 A laccase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 was reported to be potentially useful in the design of a temperature controlled biofuel cell. For enhancing its application in different thermal conditions, we engineered a laccase-oriented immobilized ...

Identification of a key residue for Oligomerisation and pore-formation of Clostridium perfringens NetB [PDF]
, 2014 Necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) is a β-pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens and has been identified as a key virulence factor in the pathogenesis of avian necrotic enteritis, a disease causing significant economic damage to the ...

Current status and emerging frontiers in enzyme engineering: An industrial perspective
HeliyonProtein engineering mechanisms can be an efficient approach to enhance the biochemical properties of various biocatalysts. Immobilization of biocatalysts and the introduction of new-to-nature chemical reactivities are also possible through the same ...
