Isatins Inhibit N5-CAIR Synthetase by a Substrate Depletion Mechanism.

abstract：:The molecular weight of phosphophoryn, an acidic phosphoprotein unique to dentin matrix, has been difficult to determine because of a combination of neutral protease activities in this tissue and the intrinsic high charge density of the molecule. In this study, bovine dentin phosphophoryn (BDPP) was isolated by a proc...
