The structure and function of cytochrome b 6 f (in chloroplasts) is very similar to cytochrome bc 1 (Complex III in mitochondria). Both are transmembrane structures that remove electrons from a mobile, lipid-soluble electron carrier (plastoquinone in chloroplasts; ubiquinone in mitochondria) and transfer them to a mobile, water-soluble electron ...
During adenylylation, there is a nucleophilic attack on the alpha phosphate of ATP from a catalytic lysine resulting in the production of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and a covalently bound lysine-AMP intermediate in the active site of DNA ligase 1. During the AMP transfer step, the DNA ligase becomes associated with the DNA, locates a nick ...
DNA ligase is a type of enzyme that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.It plays a role in repairing single-strand breaks in duplex DNA in living organisms, but some forms (such as DNA ligase IV) may specifically repair double-strand breaks (i.e. a break in both complementary strands of DNA).
S phase (Synthesis phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G 1 phase and G 2 phase. [1] Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
Photosystem I [1] is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from plastocyanin to ferredoxin. Ultimately, the electrons that are transferred by Photosystem I are used to produce the moderate-energy hydrogen carrier NADPH . [ 2 ]
Skp2 is of considerable interest as a novel and attractive target for cancer therapeutical development, as disrupting the SCF complex will result in increased levels of p27, which will inhibit aberrant cellular proliferation. Although Skp2 is an enzyme, its function requires the assembly of the other members of the SCF complex.
Finally, the intermediate S-states [22] were proposed by Jablonsky and Lazar as a regulatory mechanism and link between S-states and tyrosine Z. In 2012, Renger expressed the idea of internal changes of water molecules into typical oxides in different S-states during water splitting.
The discovery of DNA ligase dates back to 1967 and was an important event in the field of molecular biology. [1] Ligation in the laboratory is normally performed using T4 DNA ligase . It is broadly used in vitro due to its capability of joining sticky-ended fragments as well as blunt-ended fragments. [ 2 ]
