Functional molecular masses of vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as studied by radiation inactivation analysis.

abstract：:A steady-state framework was applied to the ubiquitous tricyclic enzyme cascade structure, as seen in the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase system, to analyze the effect of upstream kinase concentrations on final output response. The results suggest that signal amplification achieved by the cascade structure ensu...
