Macromolecular mimicry.
Some proteins have been shown to mimic the overall shape and structure of nucleic acids. For some of the proteins involved in translating the genetic information into proteins on the ribosome particle, there are indications that such observations of macromolecular mimicry even extend to similarity in interaction with and function on the ribosome. A small number of structural results obtained ou...
متن کاملMacromolecular replication during lignin biosynthesis.
Lignins play a crucial role in the cell-wall architecture of all vascular plants. They are composed of p-hydroxyphenylpropanoid units interconnected through covalent bonds formed during lignol radical coupling between six different pairs of atomic centers. For 50years, the primary structures of lignins have been thought to be random, but for a number of reasons such an assumption is not tenable...
متن کاملMACROMOLECULAR ORGANIZATION OF FLAVONOID BIOSYNTHESIS IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA. by
Living cells manufacture and degrade thousands of chemical compounds in vivo. To do this cells rely on the activities of thousands of different protein catalysts distributed in aqueous interior compartments. Over the past several decades studies have shown that the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of most proteins, including enzymes, are different in vivo as compared to in vitro. Based on i...
متن کاملMacromolecular recognition in the Protein Data Bank
Crystal structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank illustrate the diversity of biological macromolecular recognition: transient interactions in protein-protein and protein-DNA complexes and permanent assemblies in homodimeric proteins. The geometric and physical chemical properties of the macromolecular interfaces that may govern the stability and specificity of recognition are explored in c...
متن کاملTechniques in Protein Biosynthesis
The large number and variable quality of recent research papers in the field of protein biosynthesis often has made it difficult for readers to discern clearly the experimental basis (or lack thereof) of the interpretation put on the results that are presented. A new series of volumes has been initiated, therefore, to provide critical discussions of the methods used in this active area of bioch...
