Woodward's reagent K (WRK) completely inactivated Escherichia coli uridine phosphorylase by reversible binding in the active site (Ki = 0.07 mM) with subsequent modification of a carboxyl (k2 = 1.2 min-1). Neither substrate alone protected uridine phosphorylase from inactivation. The

Treatment of homogenous human prostatic acid phosphatase (orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.2) with low concentrations of Woodward's reagent K (N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3'-sulfonate) leads to a rapid loss of enzymic activity. The rate of inactivation of the enzyme is reduced in the

The reaction of Woordward's reagent K (WRK) with model amino acids and proteins has been analyzed. Our results indicate that WRK forms 340-nm-absorbing adducts with sulfhydryl- and imidazol-containing compounds, but not with carboxylic acid derivatives, in agreement with Liamas et

The organ common-type (CT) isoenzyme of acylphosphatase is inactivated by Woodward's reagent K (WRK) (N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3'-sulphonate) at pH6.0. The inactivation reaction follows apparent pseudo first-order kinetics. The dependence of the reciprocal of the pseudo first-order kinetic constant (kobs) on the reciprocal

This work describes the reaction mechanism for chemical modification of tyrosinase by Woodward's Reagent K and its covalent attachment to a glassy carbon electrode. The spectrophotometric studies revealed that the modification does not cause a significant structural change to tyrosinase.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
