Many natural enzymes can be found in nature that contain a metal ion. These enzymes have the potential for becoming new drugs and further biotechnology, but not all of the metalloenzymes' functions are fully understood. Through...
The de novo Due Ferri Single Chain protein model has been shown to be a viable protein scaffold to study functional characteristics through its thermodynamically favored and structurally sound four-helix bundle motif. Previous...
Metalloproteins are found in nature and involved in biological processes, especially in the cleavage of various molecular bonds. Of particular relevance are metallohydrolases, a class of enzymes that have the ability to catalyze...
Many proteins that are found in nature and involved in biological processes have metal ions bound at their core. Iron is commonly used by proteins because of its high bioavailability and redox properties, which make it well...
The due ferri single chain (DFsc) protein is a de novo designed four-helix bundle designed to mimic the 2-histidine/4-carboxylate active site of natural non-heme diiron enzymes such as methane monooxygenase and ribonucleotide...
Binuclear, copper enzymes such as tyrosinase and catechol oxidase are involved meleninization and sclerotization processes. Understanding the kinetics of the polyphenol oxidation activity in these enzymes is crucial in...
Metalloproteins use metal cations or metal containing cofactors to confer specific structural and reactive properties to a protein. Their natural prevalence makes them of interest to scientists, and one way to study their roles...
Metalloproteins use small metal cations or metal containing cofactors to provide specific structural and reactive properties. Their high prevalence makes them of interest to scientists, and one way to study their role in...
Coupled binuclear copper proteins (CBCs) such as hemocyanins, catechol oxidases, and tyrosinases utilize dioxygen for storage, oxidase, and monoxygenase behavior, respectively. However, all three protein families have a common...
The de novo Due Ferri Single Chain protein model has been shown to be a viable protein scaffold to study functional characteristics through its thermodynamically favored and structurally sound four-helix bundle motif. Previous...
Binuclear copper enzymes, such as tyrosinase and catechol oxidase, are involved in the melaninization and sclerotization processes. Understanding the mechanism of the diphenol oxidn. activity in these enzymes is crucial to...
Any measurement method of a physical quantity cannot provide an exact unequivocal result owing to the infinite amount of information necessary to characterize fully both the physical quantity to be measured and the measuring...
Violent crime has been commonplace in Latin America over the past decades. While existing research has made progress in explaining the rationale and outcomes of government coercive strategies against crime, it has overlooked the...
An increasing demand for an extended flexibility to model types and production volumes in the manufacture of large-size assemblies has generated a growing interest in the reduction of jigs and fixtures deployment during assembly...
Calibration is central to most measurement procedures. This is especially true in those cases where a large number of difficult-to-identify and difficult-to-control factors hinder the experimenters in their efforts to obtain...
It has been claimed that there is a lack of theory-driven constructs and a lack of cross-country comparability in International Large-Scale Assessment (ILSA)’s socio-economic background scales. To address these issues, a new...
Abstract: Nowadays, there is an increasing concern in machine learning about the causes underlying unfair decision making, that is, algorithmic decisions discriminating some groups over others, especially with groups that are...
Violent crime has been commonplace in Latin America over the past decades. While existing research has made progress in explaining the rationale and outcomes of government coercive strategies against crime, it has overlooked the...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is evidence that mass-media campaigns can be effective in reducing illicit drug consumption and the intent to consume. DESIGN: Systematic review of randomised and non-randomised studies....
