Substrate specificity of haloalkane dehalogenases [PDF]
An enzyme's substrate specificity is one of its most important characteristics. The quantitative comparison of broad-specificity enzymes requires the selection of a homogenous set of substrates for experimental testing, determination of substrate-specificity data and analysis using multivariate statistics.

The Substrate Specificity of Pantethinase [PDF]
The substrate specificty of pantethinase, the mammalian enzyme which has been isolated from horse kidney cortex, has been studied. The real substrate has been found to be pantetheine in the reduced form, and the involvement of one or more—SH groups of the enzyme is also considered.A number of other compounds, chemically related to pantetheine, has also

Modulating Enzyme’s Activity and Specificity through Pre-Installed Posttranslational Modifications (PTMs) on Substrate: The Role of PTM-induced Substrate-Assisted Stimulation [PDF]
Understanding the underlying principles for crosstalk involving posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is of fundamental importance. In this article, we review some of previous results which indicated that pre-installed PTMs on nucleosome substrates (or ...

Substrate Specificity of the SecB Chaperone [PDF]
The bacterial chaperone SecB assists translocation of proteins across the inner membrane. The mechanism by which it differentiates between secretory and cytosolic proteins is poorly understood. To identify its binding motif, we screened 2688 peptides covering sequences of 23 proteins for SecB binding.

Evolution of substrate specificity in a recipient's enzyme following horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Despite the prominent role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in shaping bacterial metabolism, little is known about the impact of HGT on the evolution of enzyme function.

The Substrate Specificity of Fumarase
Abstract The substrate specificity of fumarase has been studied by measuring the ability of the enzyme to hydrate or dehydrate derivatives of fumarate and l-malate. Fumarase was observed to hydrate fumarate and its derivatives in the order, fluorofumarate g fumarate g chlorofumarate g bromofumarate g acetylenedicarboxylate g iodofumarate g mesaconate ...

Computational Protein Design Force Field Optimization: A Negative Design Approach [PDF]
An accurate force field is essential to computational protein design and protein folding studies. Proper force field tuning is problematic, however, due in part to the incomplete modeling of the unfolded state.

Determinants of Substrate Specificity in APOBEC3B [PDF]
APOBEC3B (A3B) is a newly discovered driver of mutation in many cancers. We use computational tools to revert a recent crystal structure of an A3B construct to its native sequence, and run molecular dynamics simulations to study its underlying dynamics ...

The loops facing the active site of prolyl oligopeptidase are crucial components in substrate gating and specificity [PDF]
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) has emerged as a drug target for neurological diseases. A flexible loop structure comprising loop A (res. 189–209) and loop B (res. 577–608) at the domain interface is implicated in substrate entry to the active site.

The evolution of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase product specificity [PDF]
Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases) have attracted major interest from industry due to their unique capacity of forming large quantities of cyclic α-(1,4)-linked oligosaccharides (cyclodextrins) from starch.
