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...

Model sclerotization studies. 4. Generation of N-acetylmethionyl catechol adducts during tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of catechols in the presence of N-acetylmethionine.

Arch. Insect Biochem. Physiol. 38(1) , 44-52, (1998)

Incubation of catechol with mushroom tyrosinase in the presence of N-acetylmethionine resulted in the generation of an adduct. This product was identified to be N-acetylmethionyl catechol, on the basis of spectral characteristics and well-characterized chemic...

Identification of N-acetylmethionine as the product released during the NH2-terminal processing of a pseudo-class I actin.

J. Biol. Chem. 264(19) , 11491-6, (1989)

Genes for the various isoactins define two classes of actin. Class I actin genes code for Met-Asp(Glu)-actin, and class II actin genes code for Met-X-Asp(Glu)-actin where X is usually cysteine. Amino termini of both are removed in an acetylation-dependent pro...

A bulky platinum triamine complex that reacts faster with guanosine 5'-monophosphate than with N-acetylmethionine.

J. Inorg. Biochem. 104(2) , 214-6, (2010)

A bulky platinum triamine complex, [Pt(Me(5)dien)(NO(3))]NO(3) (Me(5)dien=N,N,N',N',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) has been prepared and reacted in D(2)O with N-acetylmethionine (N-AcMet) and guanosine 5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP); the reactions have been st...

Thermodynamic, kinetic and structural studies on the ternary palladium(II) complexes of thioether ligands.

J. Inorg. Biochem. 79(1-4) , 129-38, (2000)

Potentiometric, calorimetric, NMR and stopped-flow kinetic studies were performed on the palladium(II) complexes of thioether and/or nitrogen donor ligands. The ternary systems always contained a tridentate ligand (dien, terpy and dianions of dipeptides, GlyG...

Density functional theory methods as powerful tools to elucidate amino acid oxidation mechanisms. A case study on methionine model peptide.

J. Phys. Chem. B 111(2) , 485-9, (2007)

The amino acid oxidation mechanism has been a research focus in recent years. Although various experimental techniques have been employed to address the problem, it is still a great challenge to identify the oxidation intermediates of amino acids. To explore ...

Interaction of N-acetylmethionine with a non-C2-symmetrical platinum diamine complex.

J. Inorg. Biochem. 99(11) , 2119-26, (2005)

The reaction of N-acetylmethionine (N-AcMet) with the complex [Pt(Et(2)en)(D(2)O)(2)](2+) (Et(2)en=N,N-diethylethylenediamine) was studied by NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. Complexes containing two methionine residues coordinated to th...

Potential roles of flavin-containing monooxygenases in sulfoxidation reactions of l-methionine, N-acetyl-l-methionine and peptides containing l-methionine.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1703(2) , 183-9, (2005)

Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) are microsomal enzymes that catalyze the NADPH-dependent oxidation of a large number of sulfur-, selenium-, and nitrogen-containing compounds. Five active isoforms (FMO1-5) have been identified and shown to be different...

Human and porcine aminoacylase I overproduced in a baculovirus expression vector system: evidence for structural and functional identity with enzymes isolated from kidney.

Protein Expr. Purif. 12(2) , 269-76, (1998)

Aminoacylase I (EC 3.5.1.14) is one of the most abundant enzymes in the cortical region of mammalian kidney. Both the porcine and the human enzyme were overexpressed using baculovirus expression vector systems and purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatog...

Growth inhibition of subcutaneously transplanted hepatomas without cachexia by alteration of the dietary arginine-methionine balance.

Nutr. Cancer 31(1) , 49-55, (1998)

Previous studies have shown that alteration of the dietary arginine-methionine balance by use of synthetic L-amino acids inhibits tumor growth of a subcutaneously transplanted Morris hepatoma at the expense of maintaining body weight. However, L-methionine is...
