Download or read book Lipolytic Enzymes written by Hans Brockerhoff and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipolytic Enzymes focuses on the biochemistry of lipolytic enzymes, particularly, pancreatic lipase and phospholipase 2 as well as their structure and catalytic mechanism. It explores the kinetics of lipolysis, the digestive lipases of nonmammalian animals, the assay and purification of cholesterol esterases and phospholipases, the method phospholipases use in hydrolyzing phospholipids, and the adaptive mechanism of lipolytic enzymes at the lipid-water interface. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the importance of lipolytic enzymes, including their medical, therapeutic, food, and other industrial applications. It then proceeds with a discussion on the classification of lipolytic enzymes according to the type of bond they hydrolyze and the substrates on which they act. The next chapters look at the substrates and supersubstrates of lipolytic enzymes, along with their maximal velocity and the Michaelis constant. Moreover, the book talks about the detection and assay of lipases, the molecular properties of pancreatic cholesterol esterases, the stimulating effect of bile salts on cholesterol esterases, the hydrolytic cleavage of carboxyl esterases, and the occurrence and distribution of phosphohydrolases. A chapter discussing the two groups of lipolytic enzymes (the first containing enzymes of broad substrate specificity and not requiring cofactors; the second containing metalloenzymes with very narrow substrate requirements) concludes this book. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, biochemists, and those working in the field of nutritional sciences.
Download or read book Enzymes of Lipid Metabolism II written by Louis Freysz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the proceedings of the 2nd meeting on "Enzymes of Lipid Metabolism" which took place in Strasbourg in October, 1985. It is a sequel to the first conference bearing this title which took place, also in the vicinity of Strasbourg, in March, 1977. In either case the meetings were coorganized by L. Freysz of Strasbourg, France and S. Gatt of Jerusalem, Israel. The present meeting was set up as a joint NATO Advanced Research Workshop and CNRS-INSERM International Symposium. The conference was guided by two principles, namely, that science has no bounderies, neither has the study of lipid metabolism. Participants came from Europe, the USA, Israel and Japan and represented areas of research in lipid metabolism involving fatty acid s, cholesterylesters, glycero-and sphingolipids. The experimental approaches utilized purified enzymes, artificial and biological membranes, as well as a variety of cells, primary or cultured lines. A session was also devoted to modification of lipid enzymes and metabolism resulting from inherited, inborn defects such as the lipid storage diseases which are caused by genetic modification of degradative enzymes of lipid metabolism. A second type of disease stemming from a defect in a cell organnel (ie, the peroxisome) was also discussed. The eight and one and a half years which elapsed since the previous meeting, highlighted the changing emphasis of research in. lipid metabolism.

Download or read book The Exocrine Pancreas written by Stephen Pandol and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secretions of the exocrine pancreas provide for digestion of a meal into components that are then available for processing and absorption by the intestinal epithelium. Without the exocrine pancreas, malabsorption and malnutrition result. This chapter describes the cellular participants responsible for the secretion of digestive enzymes and fluid that in combination provide a pancreatic secretion that accomplishes the digestive functions of the gland. Key cellular participants, the acinar cell and the duct cell, are responsible for digestive enzyme and fluid secretion, respectively, of the exocrine pancreas. This chapter describes the neurohumoral pathways that mediate the pancreatic response to a meal as well as details of the cellular mechanisms that are necessary for the organ responses, including protein synthesis and transport and ion transports, and the regulation of these responses by intracellular signaling systems. Examples of pancreatic diseases resulting from dysfunction in cellular mechanisms provide emphasis of the importance of the normal physiologic mechanisms.

This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lipids are biomolecules that constitute a significant amount of biomass in the earth, and plant lipids are rapidly growing in interest due to their roles in improving food technology, medicine, nutrition, and biotechnology. With recent advances in protein chemistry, biochemistry, and enzymology promoting research on lipolytic enzymes, it is important for research to address the mechanisms of such enzymes and their diverse functions. Unique Sequence Signatures in Plant Lipolytic Enzymes: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides innovative insights into the biochemistry of plant lipases and phospholipases as well as their structures and catalytic mechanisms. The book explores the conserved domains and motifs of plant lipolytic enzymes by identifying the main residues involved in the catalysis in the enzymes and the phylogeny of important plant lipolytic enzymes, as well as calculating the evolutionary distance in those enzymes. Organized into six chapters, it is a vital reference source for researchers, chemists, biologists, academicians, practitioners, medical professionals, engineers, and graduate students.

Download or read book Engineering Of with Lipases written by F.X. Malcata and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-03-31 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovative uses of lipases in a wide variety of organic syntheses and the modification of existing fats and oils have increased exponentially over the last five years, due to the increasing availability of lipases from (genetically engineered) microbial sources, coupled with their special capacity to act as catalysts at hydrophilic/hydrophobic interfaces. As a result of the structural characterisation performed during the same period, applications of these lipases can now be developed in a much more rational way. Engineering of/with Lipases presents two major topics: the design and production of lipases with desired, preselected properties, and the use of lipases for desired applications. Audience: Doctoral and post-doctoral crystallographers, biochemists, geneticists and enzyme kineticists. Food, chemical and biochemical engineers. The former will learn about the practical aims and constraints associated with industrial applications of lipases, enabling them to design lipases for specific purposes. The latter will learn how to take advantage of the structural knowledge of lipases and their metabolic genesis to better design media, processes and products in terms of biochemical and technical feasibility.
