Inulosucrases catalyze transfer of a fructose moiety from sucrose to a water molecule (hydrolysis) or to an acceptor molecule (transferase), yielding inulin. Bacterial inulin production is rare and a biochemical analysis of inulosucrase enzymes has not been reported. Here we report biochemical characteristics of a purified recombinant inulosucrase enzyme from Lactobacillus reuteri. It displayed...

In this paper, as raw material, soy protein, amino nitrogen content as an indicator to determine the microwave heating three enzymes (alkaline protease, papain, pepsin) in cooperation with means of enzyme hydrolysis of processing the order and the preparation of small molecule soybean peptides best process Conditions.Measured by fluorescence analysis AN, dextran G-50 gel chromatography separati...

Vaccinia topoisomerase forms a covalent protein-DNA intermediate at sites containing the sequence 5'-CCCTT. The T nucleotide is linked via a 3'-phosphodiester bond to Tyr-274 of the enzyme. Here, we report that the enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of the covalent intermediate, resulting in formation of a 3'-phosphate-terminated DNA cleavage product. The hydrolysis reaction is pH-dependent (optimum p...

Acid maltase (AM) deficiency carriers can be detected by muscle enzyme assay. The assay indicates that, just as in infantile and childhood cases, adult cases of the disease are transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance. With the maltose hydrolysis assay, in some neuromuscular diseases, muscle AM activity can be as low as in heterozygous AM deficiency. A relatively low muscle AM activity in...

GHL proteins are functionally diverse enzymes defined by the presence of a conserved ATPase domain that self-associates to trap substrate upon nucleotide binding. The structural states adopted by these enzymes during nucleotide hydrolysis and product release, and their consequences for enzyme catalysis, have remained unclear. Here, we have determined a complete structural map of the ATP turnove...

Abstract Large quantities of mussel byssus are generated annually as a co-product the mussel-processing industry. This fibrous material is rich source collagen, which when extracted has potential uses an alternative collagen for food applications. However, due complex structure material, extraction collagenous components using food-friendly strategies proved challenging to date. An enzyme-aided...

Under conditions of molar excess of enzyme, isolated F1-ATPase from beef heart mitochondria catalyses ATP hydrolysis biphasically. The rate constants for product release are approximately 10(-1) and 10(-4)-10(-3) s-1, respectively. The slow phase of ATP hydrolysis is insensitive to EDTA. [gamma-32P]ATP splitting in the slow phase cannot be chased from the enzyme during several catalytic turnove...

The sea cucumber (Stichopus vastus) is an underutilized species, as most of its parts, including the integument (high collagen content) are thrown away during processing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different hydrolysis conditions (substrate to enzyme ratio (S/E), reaction temperature, and hydrolysis time) on the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and r...

The dog lung surface-active fraction and phosphatidylcholine constituents were subjected to hydrolysis by Crotalus atrox phospholipase A(2). Relative rates of hydrolysis were: dipalmitoyl glycerophosphorylcholine > phosphatidylcholine isolated from the surface-active fraction > phosphatidylcholine as an integral component of the intact surface-active macromolecular structure. Cholesterol marked...

Abstract The effects of hydrolysis by commercial food-grade proteases on the physicochemical and techno-functional properties lentil protein concentrate were investigated. Lentil was hydrolysed with Alcalase, Novozym 11028 or Flavourzyme, a control prepared without enzyme addition under same conditions. Differences in specificity between three evident electrophoretic profile, reversed-phase HPL...
