Peptide synthesis catalyzed by an antibody containing a binding site for variable amino acids.

Science 265 , 234, (1994)

Monoclonal antibodies, induced with a phosphonate diester hapten, catalyzed the coupling of p-nitrophenyl esters of N-acetyl valine, leucine, and phenylalanine with tryptophan amide to form the corresponding dipeptides. All possible stereoisomeric combination...

Studies on the mechanism for renal elimination of N-acetylphenylalanine: its pathophysiologic significance in phenylketonuria.

J. Lab. Clin. Med. 105(1) , 132-8, (1985)

To elucidate the mechanism and biologic significance of urinary occurrence of N-acetylphenylalanine in phenylketonuria, the metabolic fate of N-acetylphenylalanine was studied in rats. In vivo and in vitro analysis revealed that N-acetyl-14C(ul)-phenylalanine...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the prediction of chiral discrimination of N-acetylphenylalanine enantiomers by cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, beta-CD) based on the MM-PBSA (molecular mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann surface area) approach.

Carbohydr. Res. 339(11) , 1961-6, (2004)

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for the prediction of chiral discrimination of N-acetylphenylalanine enantiomers by cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, beta-CD). Binding free energies and various conformational properties were obtained u...

13C NMR spectroscopic analysis on the chiral discrimination of N-acetylphenylalanine, catechin and propranolol induced by cyclic-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucans (cyclosophoraoses).

Carbohydr. Res. 337(19) , 1785-9, (2002)

Cyclosophoraoses (cyclic-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucans) produced by Rhizobium meliloti were used as a novel chiral NMR solvating agent. 13C NMR spectroscopic analysis as an enantiodiscriminating tool was carried out where NMR signal splittings were observed on the i...

Stereoselective formation of bis(alpha-aminoacyl) esters of 5'-AMP suggests a primitive peptide synthesizing system with a preference for L-amino acids.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1076(3) , 395-400, (1991)

In the biosynthesis of proteins, each amino acid passes from the aminoacyl adenylate to become an amino acid ester and finally a 2' (3') peptidyl ester of the AMP residue at the end of a tRNA. Consequently, the chemistry of protein synthesis is the chemistry ...

Signature of the conformational preferences of small peptides: a theoretical investigation.

J. Phys. Chem. A 111(35) , 8650-8, (2007)

An extensive computational study of the conformational preferences of N-acetylphenylalaninylamide (NAPA) is reported, including conformational and anharmonic frequency analyses, as well as calculations of excitation energies of the four NAPA conformers lowest...

Importance of product inhibition in the kinetics of the acylase hydrolysis reaction by differential stopped flow microcalorimetry.

Anal. Biochem. 308 , 285-293, (2002)

The hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-methionine, N-acetylglycine, N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, and N-acetyl-L-alanine at 298.35K by porcine kidney acylase I (EC 3.5.1.14) was monitored by the heat released upon mixing of the substrate and enzyme in a differential stoppe...

Temperature dependence of the kinetics of the acylase hydrolysis reaction by differential stopped flow microcalorimetry.

Anal. Biochem. 321(1) , 1-7, (2003)

The rates of the hydrolysis of N-acetylglycine, N-acetyl-L-methionine, and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine by porcine acylase I in 0.1M phosphate buffer, which is inhibited by acetate product formation, were monitored calorimetrically at temperatures between 15.2 an...

Acid dissociation constant and apparent nucleophilicity of lysine-501 of the alpha-polypeptide of sodium and potassium ion activated adenosinetriphosphatase.

Biochemistry 28(17) , 6894-9, (1989)

A combination of competitive labeling with [3H]acetic anhydride [Kaplan, H., Stevenson, K. J., & Hartley, B. S. (1971) Biochem. J. 124, 289-299] and immunoaffinity chromatography is described that permits the assignment of the acid dissociation constant and t...

Conformational energies of substrates and inhibitors for carboxypeptidase A: stereoelectronic effect.

J. Biomol. Struct. Dyn. 12(5) , 1033-40, (1995)

Because of the complexity involved in binding of a ligand to an enzyme the conformational preference of the bound ligand has not been well understood yet. We have examined the conformational energies of ligands for carboxypeptidase A using ab initio calculati...
