Integration of molecular catalysts inside polymeric scaffolds has gained substantial attention over the past decade, as it provides a path towards generating systems with enhanced stability well enzyme-like...

Since its discovery in 1981, ubiquitin-activating enzyme 1 was thought to be the only E1-type enzyme responsible for ubiquitin activation. Recently, a relatively uncharacterized E1 enzyme, designated ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 6, was also shown to activate ubiquitin. Ubiquitin-activating enzyme 1 and ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 6 are both essential proteins, and eac...

background: screening is a routine procedure for isolation of microorganisms which are able to produce special metabolites. purified thermostable α-amylase from bacterial sources is widely used in different industries. in this study we analyzed samples collected from three different hot springs in iran to detect any strains capable of producing thermostable α-amylase. materials and methods: hot...

Background: Several metabolic pathways are involved in the complications of diabetes like polyol pathway. Aldose reductase (AR) is a key enzyme in the polyol pathway, which catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. AR inhibitors are appropriate to prevent and treat the diabetes complications. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of different fractions of Teucrium ...

• Enzyme types and their sources affect enzymatic in resistant pollutants remediation. Enzymatic bioprocesses demonstrate priority wastewater treatment. Enzymes show promise resisting removed from wastewater. Identification ecotoxicity assay of byproducts are important. mediators improve processes but there drawbacks. Resistant like oil, grease, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, plastics difficult t...

Over the past few decades, researchers have established artificial enzymes as highly stable and low-cost alternatives to natural enzymes in a wide range of applications. A variety of materials including cyclodextrins, metal complexes, porphyrins, polymers, dendrimers and biomolecules have been extensively explored to mimic the structures and functions of naturally occurring enzymes. Recently, s...

Thrombokinase of the blood, while resembling enterokinase in its role of activator, is more closely analogous to trypsin in its intrinsic origin. It probably arises from a plasma precursor; but it is different from plasmin (fibrinolysin). Like trypsin, thrombokinase can activate prothrombin without the aid of other factors; however, it is potentiated by platelets plus calcium. Unlike certain ti...
