We investigate via stochastic simulation the overshoots observed in the fluorescence intensity of pyrene-labeled actin during rapid polymerization. We show that previous assumptions about pyrene intensity that ignore the intensity differences between subunits in different ATP hydrolysis states are not consistent with experimental data. This strong sensitivity of intensity to hydrolysis state im...

Hydrophobie Vinyl Compound, Enhancement Effect, Enzymatic Hydrolysis, Waste Paper Enzymatic hydrolysis o f waste papers in the presence of various vinyl compounds was carried out, and the addition o f the compounds such as methyl methacrylate, styrene, and vinyl acetate increased glucose yield resulting from the acceleration of the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimum conditions existe...

Comparative study of hydrolysis of carnosine and a number of its natural derivatives by human serum and rat kidney carnosinase was carried out. The rate of carnosine hydrolysis was 3-4-fold higher then for anserine and ophidine. The rate of homocarnosine, N-acetylcarnosine and carcinine hydrolysis was negligible by either of the enzymes used. Our data show that methylation, decarboxylation or a...
