The thiol groups of fumarase.
Several reagents have been employed to determine the role of the thiol groups in fumarase. The nature of the reaction of these reagents indicates that the thiol groups are not associated with active site structures but are buried in a hydrophobic environment in the interior of the enzyme. Several observations are in accord with this view. The rate of reaction of the thiol groups is much slower ...
متن کاملPost-functionalization of ATRP polymers using both thiol/ene and thiol/disulfide exchange chemistry.
In this communication, we report on a new route to the functionalization of ATRP polymers exploiting their halide end-groups, which were converted successfully into reactive disulfide end-groups, using sodium methanethiosulfonate. The resultant disulfide-terminated polymers could then be reacted with different functional thiols to yield functional polymers exploiting either thiol/disulfide exch...
متن کاملThiol Groups in Deoxyribonucleic Acid Nucleotidyltransferase.
1. The inhibitory effects of iodoacetate, iodoacetamide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and sarkomycin were studied in a partially purified preparation of deoxyribonucleic acid nucleotidyltransferase from Landschutz ascites-tumour cells. All of these agents inhibited the activity of the enzyme, and it was shown that the inhibition exerted by the last three compounds obeyed non-competitive kinetics. 2...
متن کاملPathways of peroxynitrite oxidation of thiol groups.
Peroxynitrite mediates the oxidation of the thiol group of both cysteine and glutathione. This process is associated with oxygen consumption. At acidic pH and a cysteine/peroxynitrite molar ratio of < or = 1.2, there was a single fast phase of oxygen consumption, which increased with increasing concentrations of both cysteine and oxygen. At higher molar ratios the profile of oxygen consumption ...
متن کاملHuman tryptophan transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase. Composition, function of thiol groups, and structure of thiol peptides.
Human tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase resembles its counterpart in Escherichia coli in quaternary structure (alpha2), but differs in molecular weight, amino acid composition, the number of thiol groups, and the relationship of the thiol groups to enzyme activity. Nevertheless, one of the thiol groups resides in a heptapeptide sequence homologous to a heptapeptide sequence containing a thiol group ...
