  2. Hydroxyproline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyproline

    Hydroxyproline is found in few proteins other than collagen. For this reason, hydroxyproline content has been used as an indicator to determine collagen and/or gelatin amount. However, the mammalian proteins elastin and argonaute 2 have collagen-like domains in which hydroxyproline is formed.

  3. Proline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline

    The cyclic structure of proline's side chain locks the angle φ at approximately −65°. [19] Proline acts as a structural disruptor in the middle of regular secondary structure elements such as alpha helices and beta sheets; however, proline is commonly found as the first residue of an alpha helix and also in the edge strands of beta sheets.

  4. Systemin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemin

    In 2001, biologically active hydroxyproline-rich glycopeptides were isolated from tobacco which activated the production of protease inhibitors in a similar way to systemin in tomatoes. [1] Although they are structurally unrelated to systemins, their similar function resulted in them being named hydroxyproline-rich systemins (HypSys).

  5. Collagen helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen_helix

    In 1954, Ramachandran & Kartha (13, 14) advanced a structure for the collagen triple helix on the basis of fiber diffraction data. It consists of a triple helix made of the repetitious amino acid sequence glycine-X-Y, where X and Y are frequently proline or hydroxyproline. [2] [3] Collagen folded into a triple helix is known as tropocollagen.

  6. Procollagen-proline dioxygenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procollagen-proline_di...

    Procollagen-proline dioxygenase catalyzes the following reaction: L-proline + alpha-ketoglutaric acid + O 2 → (2S, 4R)-4-hydroxyproline + succinate + CO 2. The mechanism for the reaction is similar to that of other dioxygenases, and occurs in two distinct stages: [3] In the first, a highly reactive Fe(IV)=O species is produced.

  7. Bacterial cell structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cell_structure

    Bacterial microcompartments are widespread, organelle-like structures that are made of a protein shell that surrounds and encloses various enzymes. provide a further level of organization; they are compartments within bacteria that are surrounded by polyhedral protein shells, rather than by lipid membranes. These "polyhedral organelles ...

  8. Proline racemase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline_racemase

    The biochemical mechanism of proline racemase was first put forward in the late sixties by Cardinale and Abeles [6] using the Clostridium sticklandii enzyme, CsPRAC. The catalytic mechanism of proline racemase was late revisited by Buschiazzo, Goytia and collaborators that, in 2006, resolved the structure of the parasite TcPRAC co-crystallyzed with its known competitive inhibitor - pyrrole ...

  9. Extensin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensin

    Two tyrosines separated by a single amino acid, typically valine or another tyrosine, form a short intra-molecular diphenylether crosslink. [11] This can be crosslinked further by the enzyme extensin peroxidase [12] [13] [14] to form an inter-molecular bridge between extensin molecules and thus form networks and sheets.
