Structure of bovine cytochrome c oxidase crystallized at a neutral pH using a fluorinated detergent
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) couples proton pumping to O2 reduction. Its enzymatic activity depends sensitively on pH over a wide range. However, owing to difficulty in crystallizing this protein, X-ray structure analyses of bovine CcO aimed at understanding its reaction mechanism have been conducted using crystals prepared at pH 5.7, which is significantly lower than that in the cell. Here, oxid...
متن کاملActivation of S1 nuclease at neutral pH.
SI nuclease is a single-strand-specific endonuclease that degrades DNA and RNA to nucleoside 5'-monophosphates. It has an acid pH optimum (4.0-4.5) and requires Zn2+ or Co2+ for maximal activity (1). This enzyme is widely used in DNA manipulation, mainly for the characterization of mRNAs (SI-mapping) (2) and the study of the tertiary structure of DNA (3, 4). A distinct disadvantage of the SI nu...
متن کاملIn Vitro Selection of Cathepsin E-Activity-Enhancing Peptide Aptamers at Neutral pH
The aspartic protease cathepsin E has been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells under physiological conditions. Therefore, cathepsin E-activity-enhancing peptides functioning in the physiological pH range are valuable potential cancer therapeutic candidates. Here, we have used a general in vitro selection method (evolutionary rapid panning analysis system (eRAPANSY)), based on inverse subs...
متن کاملNew Organocatalyst Scaffolds with High Activity in Promoting Hydrazone and Oxime Formation at Neutral pH
The discovery of two new classes of catalysts for hydrazone and oxime formation in water at neutral pH, namely 2-aminophenols and 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazoles, is reported. Kinetics studies in aqueous solutions at pH 7.4 revealed rate enhancements up to 7-fold greater than with classic aniline catalysis. 2-(Aminomethyl)benzimidazoles were found to be effective catalysts with otherwise challeng...
متن کاملIron metabolism in anoxic environments at near neutral pH.
Anaerobic dissimilatory ferric iron-reducing and ferrous iron-oxidizing bacteria gain energy through reduction or oxidation of iron minerals and presumably play an important role in catalyzing iron transformations in anoxic environments. Numerous ferric iron-reducing bacteria have been isolated from a great diversity of anoxic environments, including sediments, soils, deep terrestrial subsurfac...
