  2. Substrate (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate_(biology)

    In biology, a substrate is the surface on which an organism (such as a plant, fungus, or animal) lives.A substrate can include biotic or abiotic materials and animals. For example, encrusting algae that lives on a rock (its substrate) can be itself a substrate for an animal that lives on top of the algae.

  3. Substrate presentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate_presentation

    Substrate presentation; A substrate (purple rectangle) is shown sequestered into a lipid domain (green lipids). The substrate's translocation to the disordered region (grey lipids) presents it to its enzyme (blue oval) where it is hydrolyzed. In molecular biology, substrate presentation is a biological process that activates a protein.

  4. Active site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site

    Organisation of enzyme structure and lysozyme example. Binding sites in blue, catalytic site in red and peptidoglycan substrate in black. (In biology and biochemistry, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

  5. Substrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate

    Substrate (biology), the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the surface or medium on which an organism grows or is attached Substrate (aquatic environment) , the earthy material that exists in the bottom of an aquatic habitat, like dirt, rocks, sand, or gravel

  6. ABC transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_transporter

    This class of transporters is studied based on the type of substrate that is transported. One class is involved in the protein (e.g. toxins , hydrolytic enzymes , S-layer proteins, lantibiotics , bacteriocins , and competence factors) export and the other in drug efflux.

  7. Palmitoyl acyltransferase - Wikipedia

    The example of substrate includes H-Ras, N-ras, R-Ras, RhoB, Cdc42 inform 2, Rab10, Galpha subunit of trimeric GTP binding proteins, Src family tyrosine kinases, GAP53, eNOS, AMPA receptor subunit GluR1 and GluR2, GABA A receptor gamma2 subunit, aquaporin, KV1.1, rhodopsin, beta2-adrenergic receptor, and PSD-95.

  8. Hydrolase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolase

    An example of crucial esterase is acetylcholine esterase, which assists in transforming the neuron impulse into the acetate group after the hydrolase breaks the acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. [1] Acetic acid is an important metabolite in the body and a critical intermediate for other reactions such as glycolysis.

  9. Cell adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_adhesion

    Schematic of cell adhesion. Cell adhesion is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighbouring cells through specialised molecules of the cell surface. This process can occur either through direct contact between cell surfaces such as cell junctions or indirect interaction, where cells attach to surrounding extracellular matrix, a gel-like structure containing molecules released ...
