Abstract

Association of the physiological substrate cyclopentanedione (CPDO) with chloroperoxidase (CPO) was confirmed from both line-width and longitudinal relaxation time measurements of the proton NMR signals of CPDO. A dissociation constant of 33 mM for the enzyme-substrate complex was calculated from proton NMR relaxation experiments. Chloride ion does not affect the stability of the complex, but iodide ion greatly decreased the stability of the CPO-CPDO complex. Binding of cyanide ion to the heme iron center of CPO also decreased the stability of the CPO-CPDO complex. This result indicates the critical influence of perturbation in the heme active site on the affinity of CPO toward its substrate. Titration of CPO with CPDO revealed that CPDO does not bind directly to the heme iron of CPO. A distance of 7.1 A between the heme center of CPO and the protons of bound CPDO is deduced from the Solomon-Bloembergen relationship. This distance is 1 to 3 A shorter than those reported for the complexes formed between CPO and organic sulfide and unreactive phenol substrates, but the distance approximates that for reactive phenol substrates.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
