Employing soluble denatured protein substrates and their derivatives, the proteolytic activity of rat cathepsin H was investigated. The enzyme showed aminopeptidase activity which sequentially released amino acid from the N-terminal of the substrate. The aminopeptidase activity did not act on N alpha-acetylated peptides and showed moderate ionic-strength dependence when methionyl-methylcoumarylamide was employed as a substrate. These results indicate that the activity essentially requires an N-terminal free amino group of the substrate and recognizes it electrostatically to some extent. On the other hand, the enzyme was also indicated to exhibit endopeptidase activity by employing appropriate N alpha-acetylated peptide substrates. In contrast to the aminopeptidase activity, the endopeptidase activity showed rather strict specificity, preferring hydrophobic residues at P2 and P3 sites. Because of the broad specificity and high efficiency of the aminopeptidase activity, it was difficult to directly observe endopeptidase activity in the digestion of large peptide substrates with a free alpha-amino terminal. Thus, this is the first experimental evidence that indicates endopeptidase activity by assigning internal peptide bonds cleaved by this activity. From this data, we proposed a model of the binding site of this enzyme. 相似文献

The requirement that the true value of an activity cannot be negative is used for the transformation of raw observed values,
which can be positive or negative, into the expected activity values. The probability distribution of the activity values
is a truncated Gaussian distribution, and the expected value and the variance of the activity values are derived from the
observed value and its standard deviation. It has been shown that the standard deviation of the activity values is smaller
than the standard deviation of the observed value and that the ratio of the standard deviation of the activity values and
the expected value is less than unity. Since the expected activity value is larger than the original observed value, and the
standard deviation of the activity values is smaller than the standard deviation of the observed value, the additional information,
that the activity cannot be negative, leads to an improvement in the result. However, since the expected activity value depends
on the standard deviation of the observed value, conservatively assessed standard deviation lead to a bias of the expected
activity values. 相似文献

Eleven lipases are tested and it was found that lipases can be divided into three types according to water activity dependence.
The first type is lipase that has low water activity dependence and works in a low water activity, its performance changes
little with the change of water activity. The optimum water activity is 0.19 and Newlase F (Rhizopus niveus), lipase FAP-15 (Rhizopus oryzae) belong to this type. The second type is lipase that has medium water activity dependence and its performance changes with
the change of water activity. Most lipases belong to this type and the optimum water activity in this type is about 0.60.
The third type is lipase that has a high water activity dependence and works only in a high water activity (a
w
> 0.75). WGL (wheat germ) belongs to this type and the optimum water activity is 0.90. The relationship between enantioselectivity
and water activity is also discussed and the enantioselectivity seems to be independent of water activity. And we also compared
the two control methods of water activity, it was found that the method which add solid salt hydrates to the reaction mixture
(method II) is more stable and effective throughout the reaction than the method that pre-equilibrate via the vapor phase
(method I). The addition concentration of salt hydrates is also investigated and the optimum concentration is 1 g/l. 相似文献

To investigate the influence of a fluorine moiety on the biological activity of phenoxyacetoxyalkylphosphonates, a series of fluorine-containing phenoxyacetoxyalkylphosphonates were synthesized and screened for herbicidal activity in a greenhouse. The majority of the title compounds showed better preemergence activity than postemergence activity against the test plants, especially on monocotyledon. Compound 5l exhibited notable activity. Results showed that by introducing a fluorine moiety to the parent structure of phenoxyacetoxyalkylphosphonates, a series of new compounds with satisfactory herbicidal activity could be synthesized. A reasonable combination of a fluorine moiety and other substituents on the benzene ring had a great influence on the herbicidal activity. 相似文献

Observations of the activity of two hydrolyzing enzymes—protease and α-amylase—entrapped inside the reversed micelles formed
by surfactants in hexane, benzene, and cyclohexane are reported. The surfactants chosen for this study are: Tween 80, a nonionic
surfactant, Cetyl pyridinium chloride, a cationic surfactant, and two anionic surfactants, sodium lauryl sulfate and Aerosol
OT.
Tween 80 enhances the activity of both protease and α-amylase. Sodium lauryl sulfate and Aerosol OT, which are ionic surfactants,
enhance the activity of protease, but inhibit the activity of α-amylase. Cetyl pyridinium chloride, however, enhances the
activity of α-amylase, but inhibits the activity of protease. Enhanced activity is generally severalfold greater in comparison
to the activity observed in the usual aqueous system in the absence of reversed micelles. It has also been observed that the
enhanced activity of the enzymes entrapped inside the reversed micelles remains preserved for a much longer period of time
in comparison to the activity in the usual aqueous systems. These observations, which support the view that with proper choice
of surfactant and the organic solvent, reversed micelles act like a microreactor that provides a favorable aqueous microenvironment
for enzyme activity, have biotechnological overtones. 相似文献

The extraction of SAR information from structurally diverse compound data sets is a challenging task. One of the focal points of systematic SAR analysis is the search for activity cliffs, that is, structurally similar compounds having large potency differences, from which SAR determinants can be deduced. The assessment of SAR information is usually based on pairwise similarity and potency comparisons of data set compounds. As a consequence, activity cliffs are mostly evaluated at a compound pair level. Here, we present an extension of the activity cliff concept by introducing "activity ridges" that are formed by overlapping "combinatorial" activity cliffs between participating compounds, giving rise to ridge-like structures in activity landscapes. Activity ridges are rich in SAR information. In a systematic analysis of 242 compound data sets, we have identified well-defined activity ridges in 71 different sets. In addition, an information-theoretic approach has been devised to characterize the structural composition of activity ridges. Taken together, our results show that activity ridges frequently occur in sets of active compounds and that different categories of ridges can be distinguished on the basis of their structural content. The computational identification of activity ridges provides access to compound subsets having high priority for SAR analysis. 相似文献

An activity landscape model of a compound data set can be rationalized as a graphical representation that integrates molecular similarity and potency relationships. Activity landscape representations of different design are utilized to aid in the analysis of structure-activity relationships and the selection of informative compounds. Activity landscape models reported thus far focus on a single target (i.e., a single biological activity) or at most two targets, giving rise to selectivity landscapes. For compounds active against more than two targets, landscapes representing multitarget activities are difficult to conceptualize and have not yet been reported. Herein, we present a first activity landscape design that integrates compound potency relationships across multiple targets in a formally consistent manner. These multitarget activity landscapes are based on a general activity cliff classification scheme and are visualized in graph representations, where activity cliffs are represented as edges. Furthermore, the contributions of individual compounds to structure-activity relationship discontinuity across multiple targets are monitored. The methodology has been applied to derive multitarget activity landscapes for compound data sets active against different target families. The resulting landscapes identify single-, dual-, and triple-target activity cliffs and reveal the presence of hierarchical cliff distributions. From these multitarget activity landscapes, compounds forming complex activity cliffs can be readily selected. 相似文献

The phospholipase D fromAconitum arcuatum has been studied. The optimum pH values have been determined: 6.3 for the hydrolase activity and 8.0 for the transferase activity. Calcium ions activate the phospholipase D: the hydrolase activity most strongly at 8 and 30 µmole and the transferase activity at 30 µmole. The hydrolase activity of the phospholipase D is not activated by low concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate, while the transferase activity is activated to a considerable degree. The results obtained are compared with those on the activation of cabbage phospholipase D. 相似文献

The activity of two enzymes involved in acetone production in Clostridium acetobutylicum, acetoacetate decarboxylase and coenzyme A transferase, was studied under acidogenic or solventogenic conditions. Acetoacetate decarboxylase activity was low under acidogenic conditions and after pyruvate addition. Under the same conditions, coenzyme A transferase activity was high. A mutant which lacked acetoacetate decarboxylase activity but was positive for coenzyme A transferase activity was isolated. 相似文献

Whole cells ofBrevibacterium flavum having high fumarase activity were immobilized using K-carrageenan. The reason for the high stability of fumarase activity
of immobilized cells was investigated.
One of main reasons for stabilizing fumarase activity by immobilization using K-carrageenan against organic solvents such
as ethanol and acetone was the lower concentration of these solvents in the carrageenan gel compared with that in outer bulk
solution. The stabilization of fumarase activity in the immobilized cells against protein-denaturing reagents was found to
be related to rheological properties of K-carrageenan gel. Another reason for stabilizing fumarase activity by immobilization
with K-carrageenan was to protect the cells from lysis.
When immobilized cells were freeze-thawed, their fumarase activity increased and operation stability decreased. Therefore,
one reason for the high decay of fumarase activity caused by the freeze-thawing may be a change in the pore size of the K-carrageenan
gel.
Fumarase activity and the operational stability of immobilized cells was found to depend on gelling conditions. Therefore,
the steric structure of the K-carrageenan gel may be related to the decay of fumarase activity. 相似文献

A series of previously synthesized 5-benzyliden-2-(5-methylthiazole-2-ylimino)thiazoli- din-4-one were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity on the basis of PASS predictive outcomes. The predictive compounds were found to demonstrate moderate to good anti-inflammatory activity, and some of them displayed better activity than indomethacin used as the reference drug. Structure–activity relationships revealed that the activity of compounds depends not only on the nature of the substituent but also on its position in the benzene ring. The most active compounds were selected to investigate their possible mechanism of action. COX and LOX activity were determined and found that the title compounds were active only to COX-1 enzymes with an inhibitory effect superior to the reference drug naproxen. As for LOX inhibitory activity, the derivatives failed to show remarkable LOX inhibition. Therefore, COX-1 has been identified as the main molecular target for the anti-inflammatory activity of our compounds. The docking study against COX-1 active site revealed that the residue Arg 120 was found to be responsible for activity. In summary, the 5-thiazol-based thiazolidinone derivatives have been identified as a novel class of selective COX-1 inhibitors. 相似文献

The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus of long-chain fatty alcohols was investigated, with a focus on normal alcohols. The antibacterial activity varied with the length of the aliphatic carbon chain and not with the water/octanol partition coefficient. 1-Nonanol, 1-decanol and 1-undecanol had bactericidal activity and membrane-damaging activity. 1-Dodecanol and 1-tridecanol had the highest antibacterial activity among the long-chain fatty alcohols tested, but had no membrane-damaging activity. Consequently, it appears that not only the antibacterial activity but also the mode of action of long-chain fatty alcohols might be determined by the length of the aliphatic carbon chain. 相似文献

A. Ferse and H.O. Müller have recently presented a mathematical method aimed at subdividing the activity coefficients of electrolytes
into functions of individual ionic species; these functions are suggested to be the ionic activity coefficients. By examining
the method, it is possible to verify that the peculiar mathematical structure of the functions in question really guarantees
a unique result, unlike the usual subdivisions of electrolyte activity coefficients, which admit infinite possibilities for
the ionic activity coefficients. But the subsequent step of the reasoning, i.e., that these functions have to be the activity
coefficients of the ionic species, is an illation. And indeed, another kind of subdivision in individual functions can be
exemplified, whose mathematical structure also guarantees results that are unique and perfectly compatible with all theoretical
properties of the ionic activity coefficients. It is concluded that it is impossible to rely on mathematical method to pull
the activity coefficients of ions out of the mean activity coefficients of the electrolytes. And hence, the individual functions
for the ionic species determined by Ferse and Müller do not represent the ionic activity coefficients and do not have any
particular utility. 相似文献

The development of rocket enzyme activity electrophoresis for the detection and quantification of various proteinases, lipases and pectinases is presented. Rocket enzyme activity electrophoresis is more sensitive than the radial diffusion assay and often enables distinction between qualitatively different enzymes present in the same samples, whereas the radial diffusion assay only provides information on the overall enzyme activity. However, calibration and optimization of the enzyme activity electrophoretic assay have to be performed for each new enzyme-substrate system to be analyzed. Some of the common pitfalls in the development of new enzyme activity electrophoretic assays are presented. Enzyme activity electrophoresis can be applied in combination with other electrophoretic assays. Particularly the combination of enzyme activity electrophoresis with various immunoelectrophoretic methods can provide detailed information on the enzymes studies. 相似文献
