Radical-Mediated Enzymatic Polymerizations
Polymerization reactions are commonly effected by exposing monomer formulations to some initiation stimulus such as elevated temperature, light, or a chemical reactant. Increasingly, these polymerization reactions are mediated by enzymes--catalytic proteins--owing to their reaction efficiency under mild conditions as well as their environmental friendliness. The utilization of enzymes, particul...
متن کاملEnzymatic Activity of a Phospholipase A2: An Electrochemical Approach
A novel approach based on dc and ac cyclic voltammetric techniques to evaluate interfacial enzymatic activity is presented. As an illustrative example, the hydrolytic effect of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on an L-R-dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) monolayer adsorbed onto a mercury electrode surface has been studied and kinetic parameters have been evaluated. The enzymatic activity obtained in thi...
متن کاملProbing enzymatic activity inside living cells using a nanowire-cell "sandwich" assay.
Developing a detailed understanding of enzyme function in the context of an intracellular signal transduction pathway requires minimally invasive methods for probing enzyme activity in situ. Here, we describe a new method for monitoring enzyme activity in living cells by sandwiching live cells between two vertical silicon nanowire (NW) arrays. Specifically, we use the first NW array to immobili...
متن کاملRadical-Mediated Enzymatic Carbon Chain Fragmentation-Recombination
The radical S-adenosylmethionine (S-AdoMet) superfamily contains thousands of proteins that catalyze highly diverse conversions, most of which are poorly understood, owing to a lack of information regarding chemical products and radical-dependent transformations. We here report that NosL, involved in forming the indole side ring of the thiopeptide nosiheptide (NOS), is a radical S-AdoMet 3-meth...
متن کاملSingle-molecule approach to dispersed kinetics and dynamic disorder: Probing conformational fluctuation and enzymatic dynamics
This article reviews our efforts in understanding dynamical fluctuations of both conformation and enzymatic reactivity in single biomolecules. The single-molecule approach is shown to be particularly powerful for studies of dispersed kinetics and dynamic disorder. New single-molecule observations have revealed conformational transitions occurring on a broad range of timescales, 100 ms–10 s, off...
