NSE is a neuronal isoform of the glycolytic enzyme enolase (2-phospho-d-glycerate hydrolase) that is involved in glucose metabolism. NSE is a dimeric enzyme mainly expressed in neurons (γγ ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

Glass cites the example of enolase, an enzyme with a well-known role in carbohydrate metabolism that also, it turns out, helps to degrade unwanted RNA. Rather than making abridged editions of the ...

Allergy to natural rubber latex affects people routinely exposed to rubber products. Groups thought to be at highest risk include atopics, health care workers, rubber industry workers, and ...

Axenic cultures of P. tricornutum (Pt1, CCAP 1055/3, Martino et al., 2007) were grown in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask in an artificial seawater ESAW (Berges et al., 2001) supplemented with extra NaNO 3 ...

Cardiac fibrosis is a major and complex pathophysiological process that ultimately culminates in cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. This phenomenon includes not ...

Other brain-specific proteins such as neuron specific enolase (NSE), S-100b, and tau protein have also been reported to be ... Tau protein, S-100b, and NSE concentrations in CSF were measured using ...

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The diagram below shows what happens to an enzyme when denaturation occurs. Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range ...
