Treatment of immature mice with both follicle-stimulating hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin in vivo resulted in large increases in the specific activities of ovarian alkaline phosphatase and alkaline nucleotidase. The specific activities of other ovarian enzymes studied were not altered by gonadotrophin treatment. A simultaneous change in the Michaelis constant of ovarian alkaline phosp...

Understanding the mechanism of brain glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier is of importance to understanding brain energy metabolism. The specific kinetics of glucose transport have been generally described using standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics. These models predict that the steady-state glucose concentration approaches an upper limit in the human brain when the plasma glucose lev...

Enzymatic inhibition is one of the key regulatory mechanisms in cellular metabolism, especially enzymatic competitive by product. This process helps cell regulate activities. In this paper, we derive a mathematical model describing The consists coupled system nonlinear ordinary differential equations for species interest. Using nondimensionalization analysis, formula product formation rate mech...

Direct electrochemistry of glucose oxidase (GOD) was achieved when an ionic liquid/GOD-Polyhydroxy-C60 functional membrane was confined on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of the modified GCE showed a pair of redox peaks with a formal potential (E°') of - 329 ± 2 mV. The heterogeneous electron transfer constant (k(s)) was 1.43 s-1. The modified GCE response to glu...

the main objective of this study was to purify and characterize an esterase from shewanella sp f88. the enzyme was purified 41-fold and an overall yield of 21 %, using a two-step procedure, including ammonium sulfate precipitation and q-sepharore chromatography. molecular weight of the enzyme was 62.3 kda according to sds-page data. the enzyme showed an optimum activity at ph 6.5 and 58 ˚c. evo...

For the purpose of assessing the neurotoxic potential of organophosphorus compounds, it has been determined that paraoxon-preinhibited hen brain has both neurotoxicant (mipafox)-sensitive (neurotoxic esterase; NTE) and -insensitive esterase components. Several experiments designed to investigate the kinetic parameters governing the reaction of these esterases with two substrates and one organop...

In this research, an enzyme modified electrode has been produced during the electropolymerization of aniline through incorporation of sulfite oxidase into a conducting polymer. Then the bioelectrochemical response of resulted sulfite biosensor was investigated at different experimental conditions. Study of  the stability of the resulted sulfite biosensor revealed that formation of a passive...
