Distribution of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase in eubacteria.
The distribution of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, which activates formate for use as a one-carbon donor in a variety of biosynthetic reactions, was determined for a variety of eubacteria. Organisms from several genera were found to lack detectable synthetase activity; however, all organisms tested were found to contain 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase activity.
متن کاملHydrogen ion-induced reversible inactivation and dissociation of formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase.
Formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase undergoes inactivation at pH values below 7. Inactivation is accompanied by both the dissociation of the tetramer into monomers and the exposure of aromatic amino acids to the solvent. The rate of inactivation is a function of pH. This rate and the rate of exposure of tryptophan residues to the aqueous environment follow first order kinetics. After prolonged in...
متن کاملCation-cation and anion-anion complexes stabilized by halogen bonds.
Stable minima showing halogen bonds between charged molecules with the same sign have been explored by means of theoretical calculations. The dissociation transition states and their corresponding barriers have also been characterized. In all cases, the results indicate that the complexes are thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable with respect to the isolated monomers in gas phase. A...
متن کاملPhysical properties of formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase from Clostridium thermoaceticum.
The hydrodynamic parameters of the thermostable formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase from Clostridium thermoaceticum have been measured in the ultracentrifuge at 20”. &J,~ = 9.86 f 0.20 S;vzo = 0.752 f 0.011 cc per g; and molecular weight = 244,000 f 9,000. Calculations based on these parameters give a frictional ratio, f/f0 = 1.27 f 0.11, and a Stokes radius of 53.0 f 4.8 A. The sedimentation con...
متن کاملStudy the Transport Properties of Anion and Cation Exchange Membranes toward Various Ions Using Chronopotentiometry
The transport properties of various anion and cation exchange membranes were studied in different electrolyte solutions using chronopotentiometry technique to get insight about the influence of the counter ion on the transport properties of the membranes. The investigated samples include heterogeneous ion exchange membranes varying in the functionality of fixed charged gro...
