  3. N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Acylphosphatidylethanolamine

    A hydrophobic cavity in NAPE-PLD provides an entryway for the substrate NAPE into the active site, where a binuclear zinc center orchestrates its hydrolysis. Unexpectedly, the structure unveils bile acids bind the membrane enzyme, enhancing dimer assembly and enabling catalysis.

  4. N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine-specific phospholipase D

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-acyl_phosphatidyl...

    N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the release of N-acylethanolamine (NAE) from N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE). This is a major part of the process that converts ordinary lipids into chemical signals like anandamide and oleoylethanolamine .

  5. Suprasternal notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprasternal_notch

    Intrathoracic pressure is measured by using a transducer held in such a way over the body that an actuator engages the soft tissue that is located above the suprasternal notch. Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, MD of Loyola University , Chicago , is the author of an evaluative test for the aorta using the suprasternal notch. [ 4 ]

    Klippe of Hronic nappe, Mt. Vápeč, Strážovské vrchy Mts., Slovakia. Nappe can be qualified in a number of ways to indicate various features of a formation. The frontal part in the direction of movement, is called the leading edge of a nappe; numerous folds and secondary thrusts and duplexes are common features here and are sometimes called digitations.

  8. N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolysing phospholipase D

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-acetylphosphatidyl...

    N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolysing phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.54, NAPE-PLD, anandamide-generating phospholipase D, N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D, NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D) is an enzyme with systematic name 'N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidohydrolase. [1] [2] It catalyses the following chemical reaction

  9. Annamite Range - Wikipedia
