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.

Renilla luciferase (RLUC) is a versatile tool for gene expression assays and in vivo biosensor applications, but its catalytic mechanism remains to be elucidated. RLUC is evolutionarily related to the alpha/beta hydrolase family. Its closest known homologs are bacterial dehalogenases

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
In this work we show that ryanodine binding to junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes or purified ryanodine receptor (RyR) is inhibited in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion by prior treatment with the carboxyl reagent dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Exposure of the membrane-bound

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
