The KIE data in Table 4 are instrumen-tal in delineating the kinetic mechanism of AfM1PDHand ... 3, indi-cates that NADH binds to the enzyme prior to binding of Fru6P. The absence of a KIE on kcat⁄ Kmfor the substrate binding first is a clear requirement of the strictly ordered kinetic ... However, slowing the reaction byusing NADD in place of NADH will further restrict the availability of enzyme–NAD+, explaining the complete lack of substrate inhibition under these con-ditions.Proposed...

While these values contribute to the fit-ness of a set, the size ofthe set plays a much greater role in an effort to reduce the number of probes needed and thus the cost ofthe array. Therefore, ...

The other member ofthe ILTfamily, LILRA4, has also been found nitrated within the domain Ig-like C2-type 4 inhuman ... band at 42 kDa.

Pre-incubation of the recombinant protein with ... againstinactivation was observed and the initial GS activitywas maintained (116.5 ± 7.3% ofthe initial activity). The protective effect was abolished when the recom-binant protein was heat-inactivated ... but the bindingwas not affected by preincubation ofthe protein withFP. These results also indicate that Pf1-Cys-Prx canbind to FP at pH 7.4, which is the pH ofthe parasitecytosol. The fact...
