Abstract excerpt
To mimic the native conditions, the cyclooxygenase (COX)/prostaglandin I(2) synthase (PGIS) coupling reaction system was used to determine the coordination of PGIS with COX for the biosynthesis of prostacyclin (PGI(2)) using arachidonic acid (AA) as a substrate in a membrane-bound environment. The membrane-bound PGIS exhibited a faster isomerization of PGH(2) produced by COX to PGI(2) than the...
