TLDR
It is proposed that modification of the protein results in a conformation change that is proportional to substituent size, and supported by a demonstration that β-amylase can be reversibly inactivated via disulfide interchanges.

Recent developments in understanding the regulation of starch metabolism in higher plants

TL;DR: Recently discovered aspects of the fine control of starch metabolism indicate that a number of key reactions are controlled by post-translational modifications of enzymes, including redox modulation and protein phosphorylation.

Redox regulation of carbon storage and partitioning in response to light and sugars

TL;DR: Experimental data will be provided showing that the isozyme from pea leaf chloroplasts is activated by reduced thioredoxin f or m in a similar way, and recent evidence will be discussed showing that key enzymes of de novo fatty acid synthesis and ammonium assimilation are regulated by reversible disulphide-bond formation similar to AGPase.

Reaction of protein disulfide groups with Ellman's reagent: A case study of the number of sulfhydryl and disulfide groups in Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase, papain, and lysozyme

TL;DR: Ellman's reagent, 5,5′-dithiobis[2-nitrobenzoic acid] (DTNB) is a standard reagent for the determination of reactive sulfhydryl groups by absorbance measurement at 412 nm and established methods for the fast and accurate determination of the number of sulfHydryl and disulfide groups in proteins.

Detection of sugars on paper chromatograms.

W E Trevelyan, +2 more
- 09 Sep 1950 - 
TL;DR: Modifications are introduced, based on a test given by Feigl for reducing sugars, which eliminate the heating step, and in which the reagents are applied in organic solvents, thus removing the danger of migration of the sugar spots.

Chromatography of Amino Acids on Sulfonated Polystyrene Resins. An Improved System

TL;DR: A systematic study has been made of the separations of amino acids by elution analysis on columns of synthetic ion exchange resins, demonstrating that synthetic resins are capable of separating most of the common amino acids from one another.

Distinct Subunits for the Regulation and Catalytic Activity of Aspartate Transcarbamylase

TL;DR: Direct physiochemical studies concerning the enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase) in terms of its subunit structure and binding of the specific inhibitory metabolite, cytidine triphosphate (CTP), reveal the existence of eight receptor sites on the enzyme.

A model for the myosin molecule

TL;DR: A model for the myosin molecule is proposed,based on three equal weight polypeptide chains in the form of a three-stranded α rope, based on X-ray diffraction, light scattering and optical rotatory data.
