interactions which can be done when more structural information is available, but they do provide order of magnitude estimates of interaction strengths. Evidently, considerable rearrangement of charge driven by reduction significantly raises the effective dielectric. It seems likely that centres S-2 and FR-2 are apparently low-potential clusters merely because they are the middle clusters in th...
متن کاملImmunological approach to structural comparisons of assimilatory nitrate reductases.
Homogeneous squash cotyledon reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH):nitrate reductase (NR) was isolated using blue-Sepharose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gel slices containing NR were pulverized and injected into a previously unimmunized rabbit. This process was repeated weekly and antiserum to NR was obtained after four weeks. Analysis of the antiserum by Ouchterlony doubl...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into cGMP signaling
Background The second messenger cGMP plays a central role in regulating bodily functions, e.g. in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. cGMP is formed by guanylyl cyclases (GC), activates target proteins, and is finally hydrolyzed by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE). PDEs and GCs are widely used as drug targets, spurring interest in mechanistic and structural insights into their reg...
متن کاملOpioid receptors: Structural and mechanistic insights into pharmacology and signaling.
Opioid receptors are important drug targets for pain management, addiction, and mood disorders. Although substantial research on these important subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors has been conducted over the past two decades to discover ligands with higher specificity and diminished side effects, currently used opioid therapeutics remain suboptimal. Luckily, recent advances in structural b...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into LEOPARD syndrome-associated SHP2 mutations.
SHP2 is an allosteric phosphatase essential for growth factor-mediated Ras activation. Germ-line mutations in SHP2 cause clinically similar LEOPARD and Noonan syndromes, two of several autosomal-dominant conditions characterized by gain-of-function mutations in the Ras pathway. Interestingly, Noonan syndrome SHP2 mutants are constitutively active, whereas LEOPARD syndrome SHP2 mutants exhibit r...
