Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) is one of the most important regulatory enzymes (EC 2.7.1.11) of glycolysis. It is an allosteric enzyme made of 4 subunits and controlled by many activators and inhibitors. […]

Alpha-synuclein
Alpha-synuclein is a protein that is abundant in the human brain. Smaller amounts are found in the heart muscles and other tissues. In the brain alpha-synuclein is found mainly at […]
Single-strand binding protein
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein or SSB binds to single-stranded regions of DNA to prevent premature annealing to protect the single-stranded DNA from being digested by nucleases and to remove secondary structure […]
DnaA
DnaA is a protein that activates initiation of DNA replication in prokaryotes. It is a replication initiation factor which promotes the unwinding of DNA at oriC. The onset of the […]
DnaB helicase
DnaB helicase is an enzyme in bacteria which opens the replication fork during DNA replication. Although the mechanism by which DnaB both couples ATP hydrolysis to translocation along DNA and […]
RNase H
The enzyme RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism. Members of the RNase H family can be found in nearly all […]
SAR1A
SAR1A or Sar1 is a protein involved in membrane trafficking. It is a GTPase found in COPII vesicles. It regulates the assembly and disassembly of COPII coats.GDP-bound Sar1 interacts with […]
COPI
COPI is a protein complex that coats vesicles transporting proteins from the cis end of the Golgi complex back to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they were originally synthesized […]
COPII
COPII is a type of vesicle coat protein that transports proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. This process is termed anterograde transport in contrast to the […]
Cytochrome C1
Cytochrome C1 is formed in the cytosol and targeted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
