Recent advances in the study of enzyme promiscuity in the tautomerase superfamily.
Catalytic promiscuity and evolution: Many enzymes exhibit catalytic promiscuity--the ability to catalyze reactions other than their biologically relevant one. These reactions can serve as starting points for both natural and laboratory evolution of new enzymatic functions. Recent advances in the study of enzyme promiscuity in the tautomerase superfamily are discussed.
متن کاملRecent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy
Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...
متن کاملSome recent advances in enzyme kinetics.
Estimation of initial rates The vast majority of enzyme kinetic analyses presented in the literature involve the measurement and analysis of initial rates; this is so because the interpretation of properly estimated initial rates is a relatively robust procedure. It is, however, not infrequent to find that it is difficult to obtain good estimates of initial rates owing to premature curvature of...
متن کاملRecent advances in sulfotransferase enzyme activity assays.
Sulfotransferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sulfo groups from a donor, for example 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate, to an acceptor, for example the amino or hydroxyl groups of a small molecule, xenobiotic, carbohydrate, or peptide. These enzymes are important targets in the design of novel therapeutics for treatment of a variety of diseases. This review examines assays use...
متن کامل[Recent advances in enzyme assays using fluoremetry].
Enzymes play such a pivotal role in cellular metabolism that enzyme assays are important for bio-engineering, disease diagnoses and drug discovery. Among the reported methods, fluoremetry has attracted more and more attention due to its high sensitivity and possibility of continuous dynamic monitoring. The recent progresses and applications in enzyme assays using fluorescent probes were reviewe...
