Application of the weighted histogram method for calculating the thermodynamic parameters of the formation of oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes by I. I. Yushin, V. M. Golyshev, D. V. Pyshnyi, A. A. Lomzov

“…The ongoing pilot studies aimed at devising methods for predicting the properties of NAs by computational modeling techniques are based only on knowledge about the structure of oligonucleotides. In this work, we studied the applicability of the weighted histogram analysis method (WHAM) in combination with umbrella sampling to the calculation of thermodynamic parameters of DNA duplex formation (changes in enthalpy ∆H°, entropy ∆S°, and Gibbs free energy          ∆G37° ). …”

Discovery and Characterization of Novel Esterases with Ethyl Carbamate-Hydrolyzing Activity by LIU Qingtao, ZHU Sibao, WANG Tianwen, LI Chuang, QIAN Senhe, ZHANG Wenqing, CHENG Fan, TIAN Shufang

“…Their Michaelis constant (Km) values toward EC at pH 4.5 were 210.7, 213.8, 256.2 and 127.2 mmol/L, respectively, and their catalytic constant/Michaelis constant (kcat/Km) ratios were 214.31, 203.20, 161.46 and 257.43 L/(mol·s), respectively. Structural analysis indicated that the narrow substrate channel of ES9 might affect the entry of EC, thus affecting its maximum reaction rate (Vmax) toward EC; the relatively high affinity of ES9 for EC might be attributed to the strong hydrogen bonding between them. …”
