The use of commercial ELISA kits in measuring CA6 concentration of saliva
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-20)Introduction: Carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6) is the only secreted member of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme family. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide: CO2 + H2O ⇔ H+ + HCO3-. The dehydration reaction contributes to net acidification in several tissues and biological fluids. Salivary CA6 attaches to the enamel and predisposes to caries probably by acidifying the dental biofilm ... -
Bacteriophage origin of some minimal ATP-dependent DNA ligases: a new structure from Burkholderia pseudomallei with striking similarity to Chlorella virus ligase
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-21)DNA ligases, the enzymes responsible for joining breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of DNA during replication and repair, vary considerably in size and structure. The smallest members of this enzyme class carry out their functions with pared-down protein scaffolds comprising only the core catalytic domains. Here we use sequence similarity network analysis of minimal DNA ligases from all biological ... -
