DNA ligase is able to form a phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides on each side of the gap. [2] Phosphodiesters are negatively charged at pH 7. [5] The negative charge attracts histones, metal cations such as magnesium, and polyamines [needs citation]. Repulsion between these negative charges influences the conformation of the polynucleic ...
Hydrolases can be further classified into several subclasses, based upon the bonds they act upon: EC 3.1: ester bonds (esterases: nucleases, phosphodiesterases, lipase, phosphatase) EC 3.2: sugars (DNA glycosylases, glycoside hydrolase) EC 3.3: ether bonds; EC 3.4: peptide bonds (Proteases/peptidases) EC 3.5: carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than ...
Each glycerophospholipid molecule consists of a small polar head group and two long hydrophobic chains. In the cell membrane, the two layers of phospholipids are arranged as follows: the hydrophobic tails point to each other and form a fatty, hydrophobic center; the ionic head groups are placed at the inner and outer surfaces of the cell membrane
An ester of a carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′).

Cholesteryl oleate, a member of the cholesteryl ester family. Cholesteryl esters are a type of dietary lipid and are ester derivatives of cholesterol. The ester bond is formed between the carboxylate group of a fatty acid and the hydroxyl group of cholesterol. Cholesteryl esters have a lower solubility in water due to their increased ...
This term was coined when VopS from Vibrio parahaemolyticus was discovered to modify RhoGTPases with AMP on a serine. This family of proteins are found in all domains of life on earth. It is mediated via a mechanism of ATP-binding-site alpha helix motif. Infectious bacteria use this domain to interrupt phagocytosis and cause cell death.
The 2,3-sn-glycerol structure and ether bond linkage are two key differences between lipids found in archaea vs those of bacteria and eukarya. The latter use 1,2-sn-glycerol, and mostly, ester bonds. [2] Natural archaeol has 3R, 7R, 11R configurations for the three chiral centers in the isoprenoid chains.
