Studies on the active site of rhodanese.

The complete loss of enzymic activity on reaction with alkylating agents, aromatic nitro compounds, or aliphatic mercaptans indicates the importance of sulfhydryl groups for catalysis. Analyses during the course of inactivation with any of these reagents revealed the loss of one of the two -SH groups in the rhodanese monomer when inactivation was complete. Amino acid analysis of iodoacetate-ina...

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...

Lysine residues involved in the active site

Egg-white avidin was treated with 1 -fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Modification of an average of one lysine residue per avidin subunit caused the complete loss of biotin binding. Tryptic peptides obtained from the 2,4-dinitrophenylated avidin were fractionated by reversed-phase h.p.l.c. Three peptides contained the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group. Amino acid analysis revealed that lysine residues 45, 94 a...
