  2. Denaturation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation_(biochemistry)

    Note 2: Denaturation can occur when proteins and nucleic acids are subjected to elevated temperature or to extremes of pH, or to nonphysiological concentrations of salt, organic solvents, urea, or other chemical agents. Note 3: An enzyme loses its ability to alter or speed up a chemical reaction when it is denaturized. [2]

  3. Protein precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_Precipitation

    The attraction forces will cause aggregation and precipitation. The pI of most proteins is in the pH range of 4–6. Mineral acids, such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid are used as precipitants. The greatest disadvantage to isoelectric point precipitation is the irreversible denaturation caused by the mineral acids. For this reason ...

  4. 5'-deoxyadenosine deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5'-deoxyadenosine_deaminase

    The preferred pH for 5'deoxyadenosine deaminase is 9.0, with the enzyme denaturing at a pH of 11. [1] The DadD enzyme has a preferred substrate of 5'deoxyadenosine, though it will also react with 5′-methylthioadenosine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, and adenosine at lower efficiencies. [1]

  5. Gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophoresis

    Unlike denaturing methods, native gel electrophoresis does not use a charged denaturing agent. The molecules being separated (usually proteins or nucleic acids ) therefore differ not only in molecular mass and intrinsic charge, but also the cross-sectional area, and thus experience different electrophoretic forces dependent on the shape of the ...

  6. Active site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site

    To maintain this defined three-dimensional structure, proteins rely on various types of interactions between their amino acid residues. If these interactions are interfered with, for example by extreme pH values, high temperature or high ion concentrations, this will cause the enzyme to denature and lose its catalytic activity. [citation needed]

  7. Enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme

    An enzyme's activity decreases markedly outside its optimal temperature and pH, and many enzymes are (permanently) denatured when exposed to excessive heat, losing their structure and catalytic properties. Some enzymes are used commercially, for example, in the synthesis of antibiotics.

  9. Deamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deamination

    The rest of the amino acid is made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen, and is recycled or oxidized for energy. Ammonia is toxic to the human system, and enzymes convert it to urea or uric acid by addition of carbon dioxide molecules (which is not considered a deamination process) in the urea cycle, which also takes place in the liver. Urea and ...
