Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase

Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase rather than just read about it. In short: In enzymology, a peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.16), a member of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases superfamily, is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction peptide-L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } peptide-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate + succinate + CO2 The 3 substrates of this enzyme are peptide-L-aspartate, 2-oxoglutarate, and O2, whereas its 3 produ…

Reference excerpt

In enzymology, a peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.16), a member of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases superfamily, is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

peptide-L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } peptide-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate + succinate + CO2 The 3 substrates of this enzyme are peptide-L-aspartate, 2-oxoglutarate, and O2, whereas its 3 products are peptide-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate, succinate, and CO2. It employs one cofactor, iron.

Nomenclature This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2 with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into each donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is peptide-L-aspartate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include aspartate beta-hydroxylase, and aspartylpeptide beta-dioxygenase.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase

In research: Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics EC 1.14.11, EC 1.14 stubs, Enzymes of known structure, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Peptide-aspartate beta-dioxygenase outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
