Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase B (beta-Hex B) (a homodimer, beta beta), caused by a defect in the HEX B gene encoding the beta-chain, is usually accompanied by an absence of be...
Four alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes with "atypical" pH optima for ethanol oxidation at 8.8 were isolated from Japanese livers with the homozygous ADH2 2-2 and the heterozygous ADH2 2-1 phenotypes. A...
We report on five hemoglobin (Hb) beta chain variants that were initially identified either by electrophoretic, chromatographic or isoelectric focusing (IEF) methods. These variants do not appear to b...
A UDP-GlcNAc:R1-beta 1-3Gal(NAc)-R2 [GlcNAc to Gal(NAc)] beta 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity from pig gastric mucosa microsomes catalyzes the formation of GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)G...
Incubation of synthetic Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta-OMe, GalNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc beta-OMe, Glc beta 1-4GlcNAc beta-OMe, and GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc beta-OMe with CMP-Neu5Ac and rat liver Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc al...
Mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are dimeric molecules and electrophoretically distinct isoenzymes appear in human liver. They arise from the combination of different subunits produced at five s...
A beta-hairpin conformation and extended beta-pleated sheet assembly have been characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction for the synthetic peptide t-butoxycarbonyl--beta-Phe-beta-Phe-D-Pro-Gly...
