Characterisation of Enzyme Evolution through Ancestral Enzyme Reconstruction
(University of Waikato, 2013)Through ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) techniques, ancient enzymes can be recreated and biochemically tested, giving insight into the enzymes’ evolutionary history. A previous study by Hobbs et al. (2012) has ... -
The inflection point hypothesis: The relationship between the temperature dependence of enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates and microbial growth rates.
(2020)The temperature dependence of biological rates at different scales (from individual enzymes to isolated organisms to ecosystem processes such as soil respiration and photosynthesis) is the subject of much historical and ... -
Investigating Macromolecular Rate Theory
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Curvature with temperature is a defining characteristic of enzyme catalysed rates. Historically, curvature has been described by Arrhenius behaviour up to a temperature optimum (Tₒₚₜ), while decreases in rates above Tₒₚₜ ...
