Fusarium solani pisi cutinase

MR Egmond, J de Vlieg - Biochimie, 2000 - Elsevier
Cutinase from Fusarium solani pisi has been studied extensively with respect to its structural
and functional properties. The crystal structure of the enzyme was solved to high atomic …

[HTML][HTML] Crystal structure of the outer membrane protease OmpT from Escherichia coli suggests a novel catalytic site

…, RA Kramer, J Kroon, N Dekker, MR Egmond… - The EMBO …, 2001 - embopress.org
OmpT from Escherichia coli belongs to a family of highly homologous outer membrane
proteases, known as omptins, which are implicated in the virulence of several pathogenic Gram‐…

[PDF][PDF] Crystal structure of the copper-containing quercetin 2, 3-dioxygenase from Aspergillus japonicus

…, T Pijning, HJ Rozeboom, KH Kalk, MR Egmond… - Structure, 2002 - cell.com
Quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase is a copper-containing enzyme that catalyzes the insertion of
molecular oxygen into polyphenolic flavonols. Dioxygenation catalyzed by iron-containing …

Isolation of lipids from biological samples

S Furse, MR Egmond, JA Killian - Molecular Membrane Biology, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Isolation of the lipid fraction from biological samples has been a crucial part of countless
studies over the last century. This considerable research interest has led to the development of …

Incorporating ECE-pincer metal complexes as functional building blocks in semisynthetic metalloenzymes, supramolecular polypeptide hybrids, tamoxifen derivatives …

B Wieczorek, HP Dijkstra, MR Egmond… - Journal of …, 2009 - Elsevier
ECE-pincer metal compounds often have excellent thermal and chemical stability, which
makes these organometallics attractive for use as building blocks in bioorganometallic …

Protein exposed hydrophobicity reduces the kinetic barrier for adsorption of ovalbumin to the air− water interface

PA Wierenga, MBJ Meinders, MR Egmond… - Langmuir, 2003 - ACS Publications
Using native and caprylated ovalbumin, the role of exposed hydrophobicity on the kinetics
of protein adsorption to the air−water interface is studied. First, changes in the chemical …

Quantitative description of the relation between protein net charge and protein adsorption to air− water interfaces

PA Wierenga, MBJ Meinders, MR Egmond… - The Journal of …, 2005 - ACS Publications
In this study a set of chemically engineered variants of ovalbumin was produced to study the
effects of electrostatic charge on the adsorption kinetics and resulting surface pressure at …

In vitro folding, purification and characterization of Escherichia coli outer membrane protease OmpT

…, D Zandwijken, MR Egmond… - European journal of …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
OmpT is a protease present in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. The enzyme was
overexpressed without its signal sequence in E. coli using a T7 system, resulting in the …

[HTML][HTML] ABC lipid transporters: extruders, flippases, or flopless activators?

…, D Halter, H Sprong, P Somerharju, MR Egmond - FEBS letters, 2006 - Elsevier
Many mammalian ABC transporters move membrane lipids to acceptor lipid assemblies in
the extracellular aqueous milieu. Because the desorption from the membrane costs more …
