This moment version keeps to innovatively evaluate the hardest thoughts in biochemistry for optimum comprehension in a brief time period. in contrast to traditional texts or overview books that rigidity memorizing proof, simple ideas stresses the gaining knowledge of of primary recommendations, in order that the reader actually comprehends the fabric and feels cozy making use of it.

Biomembranes Part Q: ATP-Driven Pumps and Related Transport: Calcium, Proton, and Potassium Pumps

The shipping volumes of the Biomembranes sequence have been initiated with Volumes a hundred twenty five and 126 of tools in Enzymology. those volumes lined delivery in micro organism, Mitochondria, and Chloroplasts. Volumes 156 and 157 hide ATP-Driven Pumps and similar shipping. the subject of organic membrane shipping is a truly well timed one simply because a powerful conceptual foundation for its knowing now exists

Example text

Interaction was strongest with ganglioside G , indicating that the carbohydrate recognition site of the G 2 " " displays some specificity for the glycolipid substrate. The water-soluble complexes are obviously formed by extracting the glycolipid from membranes or from micellar structures. This concept is supported by the fact that the purified G 2 ~ / a ganglioside G ^ binding protein, can act as a glycolipid transfer protein in the absence of hexosaminidase A. Under suitable in vitro conditions, ganglioside G ^ extracted by the activator from G«-loaded liposomes and transferred to acceptor liposomes (Fig.

4 - 5 ) . The accumulation of ganglioside G and of the neutral glycolipid G in the nervous tissue of patients afflicted with variant Ο of G ^ gangliosidosis can be understood when assuming that the minor isoenzyme β-hexosaminidase S which is still present in these tissues (42) cannot interact with the activator-lipid complex. (This was indeed observed in some preliminary experiments /Conzelmann and Sandhoff, una c t M 9 v a t o r 38 Konrad Sandhoff published^)· Storage of the same glycolipids in variant Β of G gangliosidosis is explained by the isoenzyme specificity or the activator protein: The G^-activator promotes glyco­ lipid degradation by β-hexosaminidase A but does hardly inter­ act with the Β isoenzyme (48) which therefore cannot attack the glycolipid substrates.
