Enzyme Action

Studies on Enzyme Action

The hydrolyzing actions of various preparations of the adult eel were studied on ten esters in the usual way. The results are presented in the form of curves for the relative actions and in a table for the absolute actions obtained in one complete experiment. The separation of the enzyme material in some cases into an active portion and a co-enzyme, the mixture showing greater actions on some e...

Asymmetry and enzyme action.

It must, I think, be rare to be rewarded so generously for work that was so purely a pleasure in planning and execution. I shall try, in return, to impart some of that pleasure today. In 1948, a short but historic note by Alexander Ogston appeared in the scientific magazine Nature, demonstrating the importance of a particular type of stereochemical thinking in relation to biochemical processes ...

The mechanism of enzyme action.

A Chemical Study of Enzyme Action.

MSS. intended for publication and books, etc., intended for review should be sent to The Editor of Science, Garrison-onHudson, N. Y. A CHEMICAL STUDY OF ENZYME ACTION' IN making up the list of papers to be presented at this meeting to-day, it was stated that the intention was to "get at the fundamental things in enzyme activity." Since the chemical nature of an enzyme is as fundamental for the ...

Understanding enzyme action at solid surfaces.

In solid-phase synthesis, there is interest in using enzymes that normally act on dissolved substrates. It is normally observed that rates and yields are substantially reduced when the usual substrates are covalently attached to a solid particle. Recently, there has been some progress in understanding the reasons for this, and hence how to improve behaviour. Diffusion of enzyme molecules into s...
