How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it acts on

  1. The Ala530 mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase had both cyclooxygenase and hydroperoxidase activity while the Asn530 mutant lacked cyclooxygenase activity but retained hydroperoxidase activity, establishing that the hydroxyl group of Ser530 is not essential for catalysis or substrate binding and suggesting that a bulky group at position 530, such as that introduced by aspirin acetylation, prevents arachidonate binding to the cyclooxygenase active site.
