Characterization of Caenorhabditis elegans Nucleosome Assembly Protein 1 Uncovers the Role of Acidic Tails in Histone Binding.

abstract：:Rhodospirillum rubrum ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase contains two high affinity binding sites for pyridoxal phosphate and two catalytic sites per dimer. However, pyridoxal phosphate binding at only one site is sufficient for inactivation of both catalytic sites. In the presence of 20 mM bicarbonate, 10 mM magnesium...
