Phosphoproteins and protein-kinase activity in isolated envelopes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1985 A protein kinase was found in envelope membranes of purified pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Separation of the two envelope membranes showed that most of the enzyme activity was localized in the outer envelope.

The role of Alg13 N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase in the expression of pathogenic features of Candida albicans. [PDF]
, 2017 Background: The pathogenic potential of Candida albicans depends on adhesion to the host cells mediated by highly glycosylated adhesins, hyphae formation and growth of biofilm. These factors require effective N-glycosylation of proteins.

Sterol 3β-glucosyltransferase biocatalysts with a range of selectivities, including selectivity for testosterone [PDF]
, 2013 The main objectives of this work were to characterise a range of purified recombinant sterol 3β-glucosyltransferases and show that rational sampling of the diversity that exists within sterol 3β-glucosyltransferase sequence space can result in a range of

Studies on human liver bilirubin-UDP-glycosyl transferase. I. Assay methods for bilirubin-UDP-glucuronyl and -xylosyl transferases of human liver specimen [PDF]
, 1978 Micromethods for estimation of bilirubin uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl and -xylosyl transferases in liver are described. With these methods, a liver specimen as small as 10 mg is sufficient for assay of either enzyme activity and 15 mg is sufficient for
