The catalytic mechanisms of adenylate kinase, guanylate kinase, uridylate kinase, and
cytidylate kinase are reviewed in terms of kinetic and structural information that has been …

All enzymes are remarkable since they have the ability to increase the rate of a chemical
reaction, often by more than a billion fold. Allosteric enzymes are even more amazing …

A more complete understanding of the relationship of cell physiology to genomic structure is
desirable. Because of the intrinsic complexity of biological organisms, only the simplest cells …

A fairly complete description of the genes involved in the de novo synthesis of purine and
pyrimidine nucleotides and of the pyridine nucleotide coenzymes in Bacillus subtilis is now …

Nomenclature EC number 2.7. 2.3 Systematic name ATP: 3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-
phosphotransferase Recommended name phosphoglycerate kinase Synonyms 3-PGK 3 …

Background If chemical A is necessary for the synthesis of more chemical A, then A has the
power of replication (such systems are known as autocatalytic systems). We provide the first …

Adenylate kinases occur classically as cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzymes, but the
expression of seven adenylate kinases in the flagellated protozoan parasite Trypanosoma …

Background: Nucleoside monophosphate kinases (NMP kinases) catalyze the reversible
transfer of a phosphoryl group from a nucleoside triphosphate to a nucleoside …

We introduce near‐IR spectroscopy as an ancillary tool for monitoring structural changes of
proteins in aqueous solution using ribonuclease A (RNase A) as a model protein. The …

The adk gene from Mycobacterium tuberculosis codes for an enzyme of 181 amino acids. A
sequence comparison with 52 different forms of adenylate kinases (AK) suggests that the …
