Figure 1: Hydrolsysis of the acyl–enzyme intermediate formed between β-casomorphin-7 (YPFVEPI) and porcine pancreatic elastase. Here, we describe high resolution crystal structures for cryogenically ...
Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) is a key enzyme for heavy-metal detoxification in plants. PCS catalyzes the production of glutathione (GSH)-derived peptides (called phytochelatins or PCs) that bind heavy ...
Acyl-activating enzymes are a diverse group of proteins that catalyze the activation of many different carboxylic acids, primarily through the formation of a thioester bond. This group of enzymes is ...
S-acylation is the process of chemically linking a lipid to protein via a thioester bond. It is an important process of the cell that regulates the localization and function of numerous proteins. It ...
