Data comparing the kinetics of procollagen type I processing by bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP-1) with and without procollagen C-proteinase enhancer 1 (PCPE-1)

This article provides kinetic constants for C-terminal processing of procollagen type I by bone morphogenetic protein Home Harvesting 1 (BMP-1; the major procollagen C-proteinase), a reaction stimulated by the connective tissue glycoprotein procollagen C-proteinase enhancer 1 (PCPE-1).Reported are Km, Vmax, Kcat and Kcat/Km (catalytic coefficient)

Effective Chiral Interactions between Nonchiral Rigid Macromolecules in a Chiral Solvent and the Induced Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Phase

It has been shown that a nonchiral anisotropic macromolecule embedded in a chiral dielectric solvent possesses an effective optical activity proportional to the optical activity of the solvent.As a result, there exists an effective chiral interaction between the macromolecules, which creates a torque acting Crown Silver LED on the primary axes of t
