CYP71D subfamily is also large and currently comprises a total of 22 members from 10 different plant species. At present, the catalytic properties of five CYP71D enzymes have been determined and the enzymes assigned to specific steps in indole alkaloid, sequiterpenoid, cyclic terpenoid, and flavonoid synthesis. Accordingly, enzymes belonging to the CYP71D subfamily do not necessarily share similar functional characteristics. 

The gene for myophosphoiylase has been assigned to chromosome 1 lql3. The enzyme is a dimer of two identical 97 IcDa subunits and is the sole isoform present in skeletal muscle. Heart and brain also contain this isoform in addition to a distinct brain isoenzyme and a hybrid muscle/brain isoform. Smooth muscle also contains a phosphorylase isoform distinct from the muscle isoenzyme. If regenerating muscle fibers are present they also contain phosphorylase activity due to the presence, in fetal and developing muscle, of an isoform said to be identical with brain phosphorylase. 

Glycogenosis type VI (liver myophosphorylase deficiency) gives rise to hepatomegaly and hypoglycemia in childhood. The enzyme involved is under separate genetic control from the muscle isoform and has been assigned to chromosome 14. 

These were relatively low-resolution structures, and with refinement some errors in the initial structural assignments have been detected (4-7). Since the structures were first reported the subject has been extensively reviewed in this series (8) and elsewhere 9-15). This review will focus on the structure, biosynthesis, and function of the met-allosulfur clusters found in nitrogenases. This will require a broader overview of some functional aspects, particularly the involvement of MgATP in the enzymic reaction, and also some reference will be made to the extensive literature (9, 15) on biomimetic chemistry that has helped to illuminate possible modes of nitrogenase function, although a detailed review of this chemistry will not be attempted here. This review cannot be fully comprehensive in the space available, but concentrates on recent advances and attempts to describe the current level of our understanding. 

The [NiFe] hydrogenase from D. gigas has been used as a prototype of the [NiFe] hydrogenases. The enzyme is a heterodimer (62 and 26 kDa subunits) and contains four redox active centers one nickel site, one [3Fe-4S], and two [4Fe-4S] clusters, as proven by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Mosshauer spectroscopic studies (174). The enzyme has been isolated with different isotopic enrichments [6 Ni (I = I), = Ni (I = 0), Fe (I = 0), and Fe (I = )] and studied after reaction with H and D. Isotopic substitutions are valuable tools for spectroscopic assignments and catalytic studies (165, 166, 175). 

The numbers assigned to the entries in MIM and OMIM will be cited in selected chapters of this work. Consulting this extensive collection of diseases and other relevant entries—specific proteins, enzymes, etc—will greatly expand the reader s knowledge and understanding of various topics referred to and discussed in this text. The online version is updated almost daily.)... 

One way in which to determine whether one part of the molecule may influence the structure about the N-terminus, or whether the assignments of the [ C]methyl resonances in the C-n.m.r. spectra of fully reductively [ CJmethylated glycophorins A and A are correct is to isolate the various glycophorin glycopeptides that have been produced by enzymic or chemical means. 

In each of the assays of potency the amount of the immunoglobulin and the amount of a corresponding standard preparation that are required to neutralize the infectivity or other biological activity of a defined amount of virus or to neutralize a defined amount of a bacterial toxin are determined. The two determined amounts and the assigned unitage of the standard preparation are then used to calculate the potency of the immunoglobulin in International Units (lU). ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
