Cobalt (III) carboxypeptidase A: Preparation and esterase activity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that scission of a bond to the first coordination sphere of the metal is not necessary for the hydrolysis of ester substrates in the case of Co(III) carboxypeptidase A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mn(III)-containing acid phosphatase. Properties of Fe(III)-substituted enzyme and function of Mn(III) and Fe(III) in plant and mammalian acid phosphatases.

TL;DR: The present results indicate that Mn( III) and Fe(III) in the acid phosphatase play an important role on effective binding of phosphate and acceleration of hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters at pH 4-6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic resistance of the D-peptide RD2 developed for direct elimination of amyloid-β oligomers.

TL;DR: The high stability and the absence of relevant human-specific metabolites support RD2 to be safe for oral administration in humans, and RD2 did not influence the activity of any of the tested enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics of formation and dissociation of metallocarboxypeptidases.

TL;DR: Rate constants for dissociation of CoCPA, NiCPA, and ZnCPA were measured by loss of enzyme activity on addition of the metal ion scavenger EDTA, and values of K obtained kinetically were in good agreement with those determined by activity measurements of equilibrated solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic and Non-Basic Substrates of Carboxypeptidase B

TL;DR: The kinetics of porcine-carboxypeptidase-B-catalyzed hydrolysis of several N-blocked peptides that differ in size and in C-terminal amino acid were examined, demonstrating different kinetic behaviour of carboxypePTidases of basic and non-basic substrates.

Structure of hen egg-white lysozyme. A three-dimensional Fourier synthesis at 2 Angstrom resolution.

TL;DR: Structure of Hen Egg-White Lysozyme: A Three-dimensional Fourier Synthesis at 2 A Resolution as mentioned in this paper, 3D Fourier synthesis at 2 a resolution.

Structure of papain.

TL;DR: A three-dimensional X-ray study at a resolution of 2.8 A has revealed that the single polypeptide chain of 211 residues is folded into two distinct parts which are divided by a cleft as mentioned in this paper.
