Phospholipase 4 (P-)' catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 fatty acyl bond of phospholipids to
liberate free fatty acids and lysophospholipids (for review see Ref. 1). PLA, plays a central …

Venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes share similarity in structure and catalytic function
with mammalian enzymes. However, in contrast to mammalian enzymes, many are toxic and …

The kinetics of the activation of Glu-plasminogen and Lys-plasminogen (P) by a two-chain
form of human tissue plasminogen activator (A) were studied in purified systems, and in the …

Abstract Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1. 1.3) are part of the family of
hydrolases that act on carboxylic ester bonds. The physiologic role of lipases is to hydrolyze …

Carotenoid-enriched oil-in-water emulsions with different droplet sizes (small: d 43 0.72 μm;
medium: d 43 1.9 μm; large: d 43 15.1 μm) were subjected to simulated gastrointestinal …

Several myotoxins have been isolated from Bothrops snake venoms during the last 10
years. All of them are group II basic phospholipases A2, although some lack enzymatic …

Lipids constitute a large part of the earth's biomass, and lipolytic enzymes play an important
role in the turnover of these water-insoluble compounds. Lipolytic enzymes are involved in …

Biodiesel, defined as monoalkyl fatty acid ester (preferentially methyl and ethyl esters),
represents a promising alternative fuel for use in compression‐ignition (diesel) engines …

Tissue and cellular milieux have microscopically fragmented aqueous compartments
separated by vesiculated membranes. Roughly one-half of the protein in cells is estimated to …

Langmuir monolayers at the liquid–air interface are well-defined interfacial systems and,
therefore, excellent model systems to learn about interactions at interfaces beyond the …
