Oxygen biocatalysis and regulation is crucial to a variety of biochemical processes in nature. Oxygen-binding proteins cover only a limited part of oxygen biocatalysis, which involves numerous examples of oxygen-consuming biocatalysts with low oxygen affinities. The integration of experiments with powerful biomolecular simulation opens appealing possibilities to investigate crucial questions on the fascinating relationship between enzyme dynamics and oxygen biocatalysis in new protein structures.

Abstract

Oxygen biocatalysis and regulation is crucial to a variety of biochemical processes in nature. Oxygen-binding proteins cover only a limited part of oxygen biocatalysis, which involves numerous examples of oxygen-consuming biocatalysts with low oxygen affinities. The integration of experiments with powerful biomolecular simulation opens appealing possibilities to investigate crucial questions on the fascinating relationship between enzyme dynamics and oxygen biocatalysis in new protein structures.
2009
Biochemistry & Biophysics focuses on the structure and chemistry of biomolecules and covers all aspects of basic biochemistry/biophysics, including molecular structure, enzyme kinetics and protein-protein interaction; this category also contains cross-disciplinary resources focused on a specific class of biological molecules, e.g., nucleic acids, steroids, magnesium, growth factors, free radicals, bio-membranes, and peptides. Excluded are resources dealing with the application of biochemical techniques to specific topics listed elsewhere in CC/LS. Resources with a strong emphasis on the integration of biochemical pathways (such as signal transduction or molecular motors) at the cellular level are placed in the Cell & Developmental Biology category.
