Enzyme immobilization method is based on the formation of covalent bonds between enzyme molecules, by means of bi- or multi-functional reagents, leading to three-dimensional crosslinked aggregates which are completely insoluble in water but which do not require the use of water insoluble carriers. This method involves the addition of the appropriate amount of crosslinking agent to an enzyme solution under conditions which give rise to the formation of multiple covalent bonds. 2, record 5, English, - crosslinking

Biologically active substances such as enzymes are immobilized in the pores of a porous support material by introducing a solution of the biologically active substance into the pores of the support material, treating the active substance in the pores to temporarily retain the active substance in the pores and immobilizing the active substance in the pores by crosslinking. Temporary retention of the active substance in the pores may be carried out by precipitation with a precipitating agent or by freeze drying. 3, record 5, English, - crosslinking

Optimum conditions for obtaining maximum insolubility whilst retaining high enzymic activity must unfortunately be determined for each system by trial and error until sufficient is known about the enzyme's primary, secondary, and tertiary structures to allow prediction of the best conditions which will exhibit minimal distortion of the enzyme upon its reaction to give a crosslinked immobilized enzyme. 1, record 5, English, - crosslinking

Kinesin is a dimeric motor protein that can move for several micrometers along a microtubule without dissociating. The two kinesin motor domains are thought to move processively by operating in a hand-over-hand manner, although the mechanism of such cooperativity is unknown. Recently, a ~50-amino acid region adjacent to the globular motor domain(termed the neck) has been shown to be sufficient for conferring dimerization and processive movement. Based upon its amino acid sequence, the neck is proposed to dimerize through a coiled-coil interaction. To determine the accuracy of this prediction and to investigate the possible function of the neck region in motor activity, we have prepared a serie of synthetic peptides corresponding to different regions of the human kinesin neck and analyzed each peptide for its respective secondary content and stability. 2, record 6, English, - synthetic%20peptide

De nombreux peptides amphiphiles existent dans la nature. Sous forme d'hélice, ils interagissent avec les bicouches lipidiques constituant les membranes cellulaires. En s'appuyant sur ce phénomène biologique, nous avons synthétisé en phase solide un peptide amphiphile contenant 26 acides aminés. C'est un peptide simple, constitué uniquement de deux acides aminés différents. Une chaîne formée de 20 résidus d'alanine constitue la partie hydrophobe et 6 résidus de lysine assurent l'hydrophilicité du peptide. Un tel peptide devrait avoir un comportement comparable aux peptides d'origine naturelle et être capable de s'insérer dans une bicouche lipidique. Nous étudions donc la conformation adoptée par ce peptide par différentes méthodes spectroscopiques telles que le dichroïsme circulaire et l'infra-rouge dans différentes conditions. Nous essayons ainsi de déterminer le pourcentage d'hélices présents dans ce peptide. Le comportement de ce peptide synthétique est comparé à ceux de la polylysine et de la polyalanine dans les mêmes conditions. 2, record 6, French, - peptide%20synth%C3%A9tique
