Photolyases (EC 4.1.99.3) are DNA repair enzymes that repair damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. This enzyme mechanism requires visible light preferentially from the violet/blue end of the spectrum […]

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) also known as deubiquitinating peptidases deubiquitinating isopeptidases deubiquitinases ubiquitin proteases ubiquitin hydrolases ubiquitin isopeptidases are a large group of proteases that cleave ubiquitin from proteins and other […]

Glutathione reductase (GR) also known as glutathione-disulfide reductase (GSR) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSR gene. Glutathione reductase (EC 1.8.1.7) catalyzes the reduction of glutathione […]

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCD gene.Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 is a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism. It is responsible for forming a […]

Spermidine synthase is an enzyme (EC 2.5.1.16) that catalyzes the transfer of the propylamine group from S-adenosylmethioninamine to putrescine in the biosynthesis of spermidine. The enzyme has a molecular weight […]

Phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PLC) (EC 3.1.4.11 triphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase phosphoinositidase C 1-phosphatidylinositol-45-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase monophosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C PI-PLC 1-phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol-45-bisphosphate inositoltrisphosphohydrolase) is a family of eukaryotic intracellular enzymes that play an […]

The TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a general transcription factor that binds specifically to a DNA sequence called the TATA box. This DNA sequence is found about 30 base pairs upstream […]

Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail […]

Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail H3 […]

Histone H1 is one of the five main histone protein families which are components of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Though highly conserved it is nevertheless the most variable histone in […]
