Active Site Mutations Change the Cleavage Specificity of Neprilysin
Neprilysin (NEP), a member of the M13 subgroup of the zinc-dependent endopeptidase family is a membrane bound peptidase capable of cleaving a variety of physiological peptides. We have generated a series of neprilysin variants containing mutations at either one of two active site residues, Phe(563) and Ser(546). Among the mutants studied in detail we observed changes in their activity towards l...

terms of address as an important linguistics items provide valuable information about the interlocutors, their relationship and their circumstances. this study was done to investigate the change route of persian address terms in the two recent centuries including three historical periods of qajar, pahlavi and after the islamic revolution. data were extracted from a corpus consisting 24 novels w...
15 صفحه اولMechanism-Based Studies of the Active Site-Directed Inhibition and Activation of Enzyme Transketolase
Derivatives of phenyl-keto butenoic acids have been reported to be inhibitors of pyruvate decarboxylase, (PDC). The inhibition of transketolase, a thiamine requiring enzyme such as PDF, by meta nitrophenyl derivative of 2-oxo-3-butenoic acid (MNPB) is reported here. These studies indicate that the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at the active site. A two-step inhibition was observed, first th...
متن کاملExcavating an active site: the nucleobase specificity of ribonuclease A.
Ribonuclease A (RNase A) catalyzes the cleavage of RNA after pyrimidine nucleotides. When bound in the active site, the base of a pyrimidine nucleotide forms hydrogen bonds with the side chain of Thr45. Here, the role of Thr45 was probed by using the wild-type enzyme, its T45G variant, X-ray diffraction analysis, and synthetic oligonucleotides as ligands and substrates. Catalytic specificity wa...
متن کاملa case study of the two translators of the holy quran: tahereh saffarzadeh and laleh bakhtiar
بطورکلی، کتاب های مقدسی همچون قران کریم را خوانندگان میتوان مطابق با پیش زمینه های مختلفی که درند درک کنند. محقق تلاش کرده نقش پیش زمینه اجتماعی-فرهنگی را روی ایدئولوژی های مترجمین زن و در نتیجه تاثیراتش را روی خواندن و ترجمه آیات قرآن کریم بررسی کند و ببیند که آیا تفاوت های واژگانی عمده ای میان این مترجمین وجود دارد یا نه. به این منظور، ترجمه 24 آیه از آیات قرآن کریم مورد بررسی مقایسه ای قرار ...
