This review provides an overview of the structure, function, and catalytic mechanism of lacZ
β‐galactosidase. The protein played a central role in Jacob and Monod's development of the …

The video games industry develops ever more advanced technologies to improve rendering,
image quality, ergonomics and user experience of their creations providing very simple to …

Crystal structures of native and α‐d‐galactose‐bound Bacillus circulans sp. alkalophilusβ‐
galactosidase (Bca‐β‐gal) were determined at 2.40 and 2.25 Å resolutions, respectively …

β-Galactosidase (lacZ) has bifunctional activity. It hydrolyzes lactose to galactose and
glucose and catalyzes the intramolecular isomerization of lactose to allolactose, the lac …

Septin proteins evolved from ancestral GTPases and co-assemble into hetero-oligomers
and cytoskeletal filaments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, five septins comprise two species …

Guanidinium cation (Gdm+) interacts strongly with amino acids of different polarities
modulating protein structure and function. Using density functional theory calculations and …

A heterodimeric β-galactosidase was discovered in the novel strain Lactobacillus curieae
M2011381. The gene encoding the enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) …

The lacZ gene of Escherichia coli encodes β-galactosidase (β-gal), a lactose metabolism
enzyme of the lactose operon. Previous chemical modification or site-directed mutagenesis …

Intracellular proteins function in a complex milieu wherein small molecules influence protein
folding and act as essential cofactors for enzymatic reactions. Thus protein function depends …

A loop (residues 794–803) at the active site of β-galactosidase (Escherichia coli) opens and
closes during catalysis. The α and β carbons of Ser-796 form a hydrophobic connection to …
