Site specificity of protein glycation
The rate of nonenzymatic glycation of a protein amino group is dependent upon a number of factors, such as the accessibility to glucose molecules in solution, and local acid-base catalysis of the rearrangement of the Schiff base that is formed initially. This is illustrated by a study of the site sp...

| Zusammenfassung: | The rate of nonenzymatic glycation of a protein amino group is dependent upon a number of factors, such as the accessibility to glucose molecules in solution, and local acid-base catalysis of the rearrangement of the Schiff base that is formed initially. This is illustrated by a study of the site specificity of liver alcohol dehydrogenase, in which an attempt has been made to interpret the data in terms of the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme molecule. |
