Data from University of Melbourne provide new insights into enzyme research
June 10th, 2008
Scientists discuss in 'Enzymatic properties of an ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase from Legionella pneumophila: substrate specificity and requirement for virulence' new findings in enzyme research. "Legionella pneumophila is the predominant cause of Legionnaires disease, a severe and potentially fatal form of pneumonia. Recently, we identified an ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase) from L. pneumophila, termed Lpg1905, which enhances intracellular replication of L. pneumophila in eukaryotic cells," scientists in Parkville, Australia report. "Lpg1905 is the first prokaryotic member of the CD39/NTPDase1 family of...
