The "charge-relay" network of aspartate-histidine-serine side chains plays a key catalytic role in many enzyme active sites.

Enzyme Coding Regions

(47 parts)

Enzymes are biological catalysts; that is, they are biomolecules that accelerate chemical reactions. Within the set of available enzyme coding regions given below, there are a number of tables that group the proteins into categories, e.g., antibiotic resistance, DNA excision and integration, etc. These groupings allow easy comparisons among different parts that might serve a given purpose. Note that these classifications differ somewhat from the more traditional approaches to organizing databases of information about enzymes. This point, as well as some other facts relating to enzymes in synthetic biology are discussed under Ensyme Coding Regions - Background Information

Suite of Related Parts

The 2006 MIT iGEM team used a number of enzyme coding-sequences for its project (see [http://2006.igem.org/MIT_2006 “Eau d’coli.”]) This successfully demonstrated a way to alter the normally unpleasant odor of growing E. coli cultures so that they gave off the odors of wintergreen or banana. Such modification of biochemical pathways is called metabolic engineering and has limitless potential applications.
