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...

Enzymes catalyze many biological reactions. The rates of chemical reaction in the presence ofenzymes are, in some cases, accelerated more than 10 orders of magnitude relative to thecorresponding rates in solution.In this paper a comparison between optimized structures of two enzyme molecules in aspect ofenergy and dipole moment in different conditions including presence of metallic ion, without...

we have evaluated the nmr shielding tensors for active site of oxidized ayurin azurin is classified to atype i copper protein with et functionality. we have computed nmr shielding tensor at .133lyp and idlevels by usum 6-3ig basis set in the gas phase and in different solvents such as water, hmso,nitromethane, methanol, ethanol, acetone ,dicholoroethane. these solvents represent a wide range of...
