The active centres in penicillin-sensitive enzymes.
The interaction between beta-lactam antibiotics and the penicillin-sensitive enzymes is a multiple-step process. Binding of the beta-lactam ring of the penam (or 3-cepham) nucleus occurs at binding site no. 1. Interaction between the N-14 substituent of the bound molecule and binding site no. 2 induces changes in binding site no. 1. In turn, the catalytic site thus created increases the chemica...
متن کاملVoltage-sensitive potassium channels in Drosophila photoreceptors.
A preparation of dissociated Drosophila ommatidia is described that allows single-channel and whole-cell patch-clamp analysis of currents in identified sensory neurons. Three distinct classes of voltage-sensitive potassium conductances are characterized; all were detected in distal parts of ommatidia from sevenless mutants and hence in one cell class (R1-6 photoreceptors). Rapidly inactivating ...
متن کاملVoltage-Controlled Enzymes: The New Janus Bifrons
The Ciona intestinalis voltage-sensitive phosphatase, Ci-VSP, was the first Voltage-controlled Enzyme (VEnz) proven to be under direct command of the membrane potential. The discovery of Ci-VSP conjugated voltage sensitivity and enzymatic activity in a single protein. These two facets of Ci-VSP activity have provided a unique model for studying how membrane potential is sensed by proteins and a...
متن کاملPotassium Sensitive Optical Nanosensors Containing Voltage Sensitive Dyes.
lonophore-based ion-selective optical nanosensors have been explored for a number of years. Voltage sensitive dyes (VSDs) have been introduced into this type of sensors only very recently, forming a new class of analytical tools. Here, K(+)-sensitive nanospheres incorporating a lipophilic VSD were successfully fabricated and characterized. The nanosensors were readily delivered into the social ...
متن کاملIncrements and Duplication Events of Enzymes and Transcription Factors Influence Metabolic and Regulatory Diversity in Prokaryotes
In this work, the content of enzymes and DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) in 794 non-redundant prokaryotic genomes was evaluated. The identification of enzymes was based on annotations deposited in the KEGG database as well as in databases of functional domains (COG and PFAM) and structural domains (Superfamily). For identifications of the TFs, hidden Markov profiles were constructed bas...
