Between 1930 and 1975 biochemical and structural analysis of enzymes led to a clear set of ideas that might form a basis for detailed understanding of enzyme action. Further development required energetic and thermodynamic analysis of enzymes in an aqueous medium, beyond the computational power then available. Structural enzymology advanced in other directions, but the fundamental questions of ...

the effect of enzymatic treatment time of microbial transglutaminase (mtgase) on the characteristics of whey protein isolate (wpi) films was investigated. results shown that the properties of mtgase-treated films were affected by increasing the enzymatic treatment time. enzymatic treatment at lower incubation time, i.e. for 1 h, significantly resulted in higher values of tensile strength (ts) a...

This research was carried out to study the effect of ageing on antioxidant and biochemical changes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds. The experiment laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications in Islamic Azad University, Boroujerd Branch, Boroujerd, Iran in 2015. The seeds of wheat (cv Sardari) were harvested at maturity and ageing treatments were done at 43° C wit...

background: in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (noa), vital spermatozoa from the tissue is obtained from testes by enzymatic treatment besides the mechanical treatment. objective: to increase the sperm recovery success of testicular sperm extraction (tese), with enzymatic digestion if no sperm is obtained from testis tissue by mechanical method. materials and methods: tissue samples w...

mixed office waste papers are considered as a large source of high quality papers that were printed with non impact printing methods. this papers have involved and economical problem in deinking with conventional chemical methods. in this research enzymatic deinking was done as an alternative for conventional chemical method. enzymatic deinking of xerox machine printed papers with cellulase fro...

The concurrent effects of two enzyme inhibitors have been analysed previously with the Yonetani-Theorell plot to obtain insight into the interactions between bound inhibitors. This procedure, like many other traditional graphical methods in enzymology, is based on the estimation of intersecting tendencies in a family of lines. In a recent paper from this laboratory [Chan (1995) Biochem. J. 311,...

The halogenases are a group of enzymes that have only come to the fore over the last 10 years thanks to the discovery and characterization of several novel representatives. They have revealed the fascinating variety of distinct chemical mechanisms that nature utilizes to activate halogens and introduce them into organic substrates. Computational studies using a range of approaches have already ...

Now, more than ever, enzymology and its development can be considered of vital importance to the progression of the biological sciences. With an increase in the numbers of enzymes being identified from genomic studies, enzymology is key to defining the structural and functional properties of these enzymes in order to establish their mechanisms of action and how they fit into metabolic networks....
