Enzyme Activity in the Crowded Milieu
The cytosol of a cell is a concentrated milieu of a variety of different molecules, including small molecules (salts and metabolites) and macromolecules such as nucleic acids, polysaccharides, proteins and large macromolecular complexes. Macromolecular crowding in the cytosolic environment is proposed to influence various properties of proteins, including substrate binding affinity and enzymati...
متن کاملPeculiarities of the Super-Folder GFP Folding in a Crowded Milieu
The natural cellular milieu is crowded by large quantities of various biological macromolecules. This complex environment is characterized by a limited amount of unoccupied space, limited amounts of free water, and changed solvent properties. Obviously, such a tightly packed cellular environment is poorly mimicked by traditional physiological conditions, where low concentrations of a protein of...
متن کاملThe Erythrocyte Catalase Enzyme Activity in Iranian Osteoporotic Women
Osteoporosis is a disease of high prevalence with increased bone loss. It has potential public health threat and that the health authorities had taken several measures for its control. In recent years, considerable attention has been given to physiopathology of osteoporosis. Oxidative stress has been proved to be involved in bone resorption. Oxidative stress occurs when balance between o...
متن کاملBeyond the excluded volume effects: mechanistic complexity of the crowded milieu.
Macromolecular crowding is known to affect protein folding, binding of small molecules, interaction with nucleic acids, enzymatic activity, protein-protein interactions, and protein aggregation. Although for a long time it was believed that the major mechanism of the action of crowded environments on structure, folding, thermodynamics, and function of a protein can be described in terms of the ...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
