In potato, cytochrome c reductase, a protein complex of the respiratory chain, exhibits processing activity toward mitochondrial precursor proteins. One of the two cooperating components of the processing peptidase was ...

Enzyme-mediated decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is controlled, amongst other factors, by organic matter properties and by the microbial decomposer community present. Since microbial community composition and SOM ...

Food protein hydrolysates are often produced in unspecific industrial batch processes. The hydrolysates composition underlies process-related fluctuations and therefore the obtained peptide fingerprint and bioactive ...

Histones, the principal protein components of chromatin, contain long disordered sequences, which are extensively post-translationally modified. Although histone chaperones are known to control both the activity and ...

This study describes the purification of penicillin G amidase (PGA) by ion exchange membrane adsorbers in a one-step-process. Preliminary experiments with high-throughput screening devices in microliter scale (8-strip ...

Due to changes in the ecosystem and misuse of resources, salinity also increases. Approximately 20% of all irrigated land is affected by salinity and this will increase over time. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more ...

Phosphotyrosine (pY) signaling is instrumental to numerous cellular processes. pY recognition occurs through specialized protein modules, among which the Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain is the most common. SH2 domains are small ...

The proposed FAD binding site of L-lysine N6-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.99) exhibits an unusual proline in a position where a highly conserved glycine is found in other FAD dependent hydroxylases. We have studied the role of ...
