  • Cells grown on orotate contained high levels of an induced system for the degradation of pyrimidines whereas cells grown on glucose contained a constitutive level of enzymes for pyrimidine biosyntheses. (pdx.edu)
  • The second studied enzyme is LPMO, which is a copper dependent enzyme used for the degradation of polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin. (lu.se)
  • Cells grown on glucose showed a high level of a Mn +2 dependent aspartate transcarbamylase (the analogous enzyme to ureidosuccinase which is operative during pyrimidine biosynthesis) which forms ureidosuccinate from aspartate and carbamyl phosphate. (pdx.edu)
  • The work supported by enzC-Hem (Creating Versatile Metallo-Enzyme Environments for Selective C-H Activation Chemistry: Lignocellulose Deconstruction and Beyond) shows that combining computational design and directed evolution could lead to new biocatalysts for important chemical transformations not found in nature. (europa.eu)
  • Enzymes and other biocatalysts are often considered as a third category. (wikipedia.org)
  • However, not all collisions result in a reaction because some collisions lack sufficient energy to break the bonds between atoms. (nawafnet.net)
  • Enzyme structure is important because it determines the enzyme's particular function in the body. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • This model of exact fit, introduced in the 1890s, is often referred to as the "lock and key" model, because the enzyme binding to a substrate is analogous to the specific fit of a lock into a key. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • GSH participates not only in antioxidative and detoxification reactions but also in redox regulation of the expression of protective genes in infected cells. (mtak.hu)
  • Allosteric Regulation: Some enzymes have regulatory sites distinct from their active sites. (lasenorita.com)
  • Crude antigenic preparations from Setaria equina were used in ELISA and Western blotting to examine cross-reaction with human sera from areas endemic for bancroftian filariasis. (who.int)
  • Des préparations d'antigènes bruts de Setaria equina ont été utilisées dans le cadre des méthodes ELISA et transfert Western afin d'étudier la réaction croisée avec des sérums humains en provenance de zones endémiques pour la filariose de Bancroft. (who.int)
  • The conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA is referred to as the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Reaction. (dadamo.com)
  • The enzyme consists of 60 subunits: 24 pyruvate dehydrogenase, 24 dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, and 12 dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (commonly denoted E1, E2, and E3). (dadamo.com)
  • Enzymes like hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase facilitate various steps in glycolysis, ensuring efficient glucose utilization. (lasenorita.com)
  • Another enzyme may have an optimum pH range of 3.5 to 4.5 (lower-right graph). (docbrown.info)
  • Perform liver enzyme tests before initiating therapy and as clinically indicated thereafter. (nih.gov)
