noun
proteinase
Usage Examples
Converse of object
- encode: We have characterized a number of cDNAs which encode proteinases to underpin optimization of proteinase inhibitors either alone or in combination.
- call: The Kiwi fruit already contains a lot of a special enzyme called a proteinase.
- contain: Several species have been found to contain proteinases in their latex.
- secrete: Extracellular fungal products: Extracellular enzymes, particularly the secreted aspartyl proteinases, seem to be correlated with virulence of fungal pathogens.
Adjective modifier
- aspartic: This could be an activated water molecule as seen in aspartic proteinases or an amino acid side chain.
- papain-like: Identification of mouse hepatitis virus papain-like proteinase 2 activity.
- main: Structure of coronavirus main proteinase reveals combination of a chymotrypsin fold with an extra alpha-helical domain.
- other: Some enzymes may not participate directly in the cleavage of matrix proteins but instead are capable of activating other proteinases which degrade the matrix.
- viral: Proteolytic processing by viral proteinases provides the active components of the viral replicase complex.
- refolded: Incorporating CpTI into assays using fluorogenic substrates we were able to show that the serine PI inhibited the activity of the refolded proteinases.
Modifies a noun
- inhibitor: Laboratory experiments look at the growth rates of fungi on substrates amended with proteinase inhibitors.
- K: Cultures were labeled overnight, then washed and digested overnight in proteinase K before being counted in a liquid scintillation counter.
- gene: The library was screened with a cysteine proteinase gene fragment originally amplified from cDNA of H. glycines.
- activity: High levels of cysteine proteinase activity were detected in cryosections of nymphs of this insect.
- digestion: This assay procedure is greatly simplified compared to the proteinase K digestion methods and is suitable for automation on an ELISA processor.
- enzyme: The proteinase enzyme attacks the proteins clinging to the DNA and breaks them up thereby releasing the DNA.
Noun used with modifier
- cysteine: We have used the paradigm of rational design from structural information to engineer more potent cysteine proteinase inhibitors offer.
- serine: We are studying the structural biology of members of the serpin family of serine proteinase inhibitors using X-ray crystallography.
- thiol: The overall mechanism of catalysis reaction by thiol proteinases is the same as in serine proteinases.
- aspartyl: Extracellular fungal products: Extracellular enzymes, particularly the secreted aspartyl proteinases, seem to be correlated with virulence of fungal pathogens.
