The adequacy of an organism to the environment depends in part on its ability to modify its
repertoire of cellular components, such as transporters, regulatory proteins and metabolic …

N-Succinylamino acid racemase (NSAAR) with N-acylamino acid racemase (NAAAR)
activity together with a d-or l-aminoacylase allows the total transformation of N-acetylamino …

Posttranslational processing of proadrenomedullin generates two biologically active
peptides, adrenomedullin (AM) and proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) …

Background: Annotation ambiguities and annotation errors are a general challenge in
genomics. While a reliable protein function assignment can be obtained by experimental …

The o-succinylbenzoate synthase (OSBS) family is part of the functionally diverse enolase
superfamily. Many proteins in one branch of the OSBS family catalyze both OSBS and N …

MosA is a gene product encoded on a pSym megaplasmid of Sinorhizobium meliloti L5-30.
The gene is part of an operon reported to be essential for the synthesis of the rhizopine 3-O …

Nine-membered enediyne antitumor antibiotics C-1027, neocarzinostatin (NCS), and
kedarcidin (KED) possess enediyne cores to which activity-modulating peripheral moieties …

Catalytic promiscuity, which is the ability to catalyze more than one reaction in the same
active site, is thought to facilitate the evolution of new protein functions. Although many …

Among the three chiral columns, CHIROBIOTIC T™, CHIRLPAK WH, and CHIRALCEL OD‐
R, tested for the separation of racemic amino acids and N‐acetyl‐amino acids, only …

A gene encoding N-acylamino acid racemase (NAAAR) from Amycolatopsis azurea
CCRC13413 was cloned. An analysis of its sequence revealed an open reading frame …
