  • Characterization of different forms of lysophospholipase in barley

    Creator:
    Lundgard, Robert
    Abstract:
    During barley germination, α-amylase and other hydrolases are synthesized in the aleurone layer and secreted into the starchy endosperm. As starch is degraded by amylases, lysophospholipids are released from inclusion complexes with the starch and undergo hydrolysis by a lysophospholipase (LPL) activity. Studies with embryo-free half seeds and isolated aleurone...

  • A lysozyme-like protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aegypti : functional and biochemical characteristics

    Creator:
    Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-
    Abstract:
    This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

  • Characterization of neuronal nitric-oxide synthase reductase activity

    Creator:
    Wolthers, Kirsten R.
    Abstract:
    During catalysis the flavoprotein domain of neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) shuttles NADPH-derived reducing equivalents from FAD to FMN and then to the P450-heme enabling heme-based oxygen activation and subsequent NO-synthesis. The binding of Ca²⁺-activated calmodulin (Ca²⁺-CaM) to nNOS alleviates inhibition of flavin mediated electron transfer within the diflavin domain, which...
