Studies on Fatty Nitriles. IV.

Mechanistic studies on fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

It has previously been shown that the "partial" reaction between fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and acyl-CoA substrate is pH-dependent (larger rate constants at basic pH) and shows a biphasic rate profile indicative of formation of an initial charge transfer complex between the C-2 anion of substrate and enzyme. The present investigation indicates that the complete reaction between acyl-CoA and e...

Structural studies on human type IV collagen.

Type IV collagen was isolated from limited pepsin digests of human placenta by selective salt precipitation at acidic and neutral pH. The native protein was resistant to human skin collagenase but was cleaved by a rat mast cell protease. Molecular sieve chromatography of the reduced and alkylated material separated relatively homogeneous components of molecular weight 140,000 (140K) and 100,000...
