- Various catalytic reaction models have been proposed as the reaction mechanisms of glycosidases, but a reasonable and unitary model capable of interpreting both "inverting" and "retaining" glycosidase reactions remains to be established. (go.jp)
- The drug moieties may affect cytotoxic and cytostatic mechanisms including tubulin binding, DNA binding, or topoisomerase inhibition. (justia.com)
- This reaction model, however, is considered to comprise some inconsistencies that cannot be neglected from the viewpoint of reactivity in organic chemistry. (go.jp)
- Our research involves a combination of molecular biology, protein biochemistry, organic synthesis and structural studies and provides a strong training for students interested in understanding the organic chemistry of living systems and in pursuing careers in biotechnology, drug design or academia.

- Protein biosynthesis has a key role in disease as changes and errors in this process, through underlying DNA mutations or protein misfolding, are often the underlying causes of a disease. (wikipedia.org)
- DNA mutations change the subsequent mRNA sequence, which then alters the mRNA encoded amino acid sequence. (wikipedia.org)
- During transcription, a section of DNA encoding a protein, known as a gene, is converted into a template molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). (wikipedia.org)
- Transcription occurs in the nucleus using DNA as a template to produce mRNA. (wikipedia.org)
- The SAD1/RAD53 protein kinase controls multiple checkpoints and DNA damage-induced transcription in yeast. (academicinfluence.com)
- The helicase disrupts the hydrogen bonds causing a region of DNA - corresponding to a gene - to unwind, separating the two DNA strands and exposing a series of bases. (wikipedia.org)
- A uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) from a psychrophilic marine bacterium (BMTU 3346) has been purified to apparent homogeneity. (nih.gov)
- It is stable in complex buffers (containing glycerol/BSA), whereas it is heat-labile in dilute buffers (free of stabilizers) with a half-life of 2 min at 40 degrees C. Due to the thermolability, uracil-DNA glycosylase is suitable for application in the carryover prevention technique showing less residual activity and/or a slower reactivation rate than the usually applied UNG from Escherichia coli. (nih.gov)
- Molecular cloning, sequency, and expression of the heat-labile uracil-DNA glycosylase from a marine psychrophilic bacterium, strain BMTU3346. (nih.gov)
- Purification and characterization of a cold-adapted uracil-DNA glycosylase from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). (nih.gov)
- Properties of a recombinant human uracil-DNA glycosylase from the UNG gene and evidence that UNG encodes the major uracil-DNA glycosylase. (nih.gov)
- APOBEC3A preferentially deaminates cytosines to uracils in ssDNA, which are then converted to abasic sites by uracil DNA glycosylase. (nih.gov)
- Despite DNA being a double-stranded molecule, only one of the strands acts as a template for pre-mRNA synthesis - this strand is known as the template strand. (wikipedia.org)
- An enzyme that catalyzes the HYDROLYSIS of the N-glycosidic bond between sugar phosphate backbone and URACIL residue during DNA synthesis. (bvsalud.org)
- Using Affymetrix GENECHIP arrays, specific hybridization can be achieved by direct synthesis of the DNA sequences of interest on arrays. (justia.com)
- During transcription, a section of DNA encoding a protein, known as a gene, is converted into a template molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). (wikipedia.org)
- Initially, an enzyme known as a helicase acts on the molecule of DNA. (wikipedia.org)
- Both DNA and RNA have intrinsic directionality, meaning there are two distinct ends of the molecule. (wikipedia.org)
- This clonal amplification enables a single DNA molecule to be amplified on solid phase, which physically separates one molecule from another. (justia.com)
- During these reactions, separate labeling with 4 florophores or haptens, one for each of the 4 DNA bases, allows for the identification of the incorporated base at any given position. (justia.com)
- Protein biosynthesis has a key role in disease as changes and errors in this process, through underlying DNA mutations or protein misfolding, are often the underlying causes of a disease. (wikipedia.org)
- However, the number of molecules hybridized to the probes is generally lower than the amount necessary for efficient application of some next generation sequencing chemistries. (justia.com)
