Actin
... from the minus end and the increase in ADP-actin stimulates the exchange of bound ADP for ATP, leading to more ATP-actin units. This rapid
turnover is important for the cells movement.
The protein cofilin binds to ADP-actin units and promotes their dissociation from the minus end and prevents ...
Enzyme
... or Lineweaver-Burk plot.
The efficiency of an enzyme can be expressed in terms of k cat / K m . The quantity k cat , also called the
turnover number, incorporates the rate constants for all steps in the reaction, and is the product of V max and the total enzyme concentration. k cat / ...
Fungus

Fatty acid content of the skin .
pH of the skin, mucosal surfaces and body fluids
Epithelial

Normal flora
Transferrin
Cilia of respiratory tract .
When fungi do pass the resistance barriers of the human body and establish ...

Purine
... deficiency of another enzyme, adenosine deaminase , needed to break down adenine, is a cause of severe combined immunodeficiency .
Purines from
turnover of nucleic acids (or from food) can also be salvaged and reused in new nucleotides. The enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase salvages adenine, ...
