Interaction of a paramagnetic analogue of oxaloacetate with citrate synthase.

abstract：:A cell-free system for synthesizing protein from wheat germ was used to translate the messenger RNA extracted from 16-day embryonic chick calvaria. A part of the product had properties similar to collagenous peptides and served as a substrate for prolyl hydroxylase, an enzyme specific for collagen. The level of potass...

abstract：:Changes in pH can alter the structure and activity of proteins and may be used by the cell to control molecular function. This coupling can also be used in non-native applications through the design of pH-sensitive biomolecules. For example, the pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) can spontaneously insert into a lipid ...
