Zinc, nickle swap
increases enzyme
digestion activity
University News Service
Scientists from Texas A&M, Har
vard Medical School and the Univer
sity of Nebraska have discovered
that copper and nickle substitutes
for zinc in enzymes of marine bacte
ria increase the protein-digesting ac
tivity of the enzymes.
Researchers have long known that
our bodies contain protein-digesting
enzymes with zinc atoms at the most
active part of the enzyme’s molecule.
These enzymes serve as biological
catalysts to operate all the chemical
systems necessary to sustain life.
Substituting copper and nickel for
zinc in enzymes of marine bacteria
increases the protein-digesting activ
ity from six to 25 times, sometimes
more.
No clear applications yet exist for
such knowledge, which is justified to
researchers because it adds to the
knowledge of how and why enzymes
work, said Texas A&M biochemist
Dr. John M. Prescott, a widely recog
nized authority.
“Certainly, if there is a biomedical
or clinical application for these find
ings, it would be widespread because
such metalloenzymes are present in
almost every tissue of the body —
the brain, kidney, liver and others,”
said Prescott, director of the Univer
sity’s Institute of Occupational Medi
cine. He is midway through a three-
year study supported by $280,000
from the National Institutes of
Health.
The current research was
prompted when Prescott spent a
year at Harvard Medical School’s
Center for Biochemical and Biophy
sical Sciences and Medicine.
In studying the enzyme amino-
peptidase from the marine bacteria
Aeormonas proteolydca (literally,
“protein splitter”), the scientists
found that special chemical solutions
used to remove zinc from the en
zyme completely inactivated the ami-
nqpepddase’s ability to digest pro
teins.
At present, other researchers at
the University of Alberta are trying
to crystallize the molecules of the
bacterial enzyme and perform three-
dimensional studies of its structure,
said Prescott — who with Dr. Stella
Wilkes first isolated the aminopepd-
dase 18 years ago at his A&M labo
ratory.
Atari looking for mix
of business, creativity
United Press International
NEW YORK — There are crea
tive people and there are business
people. The problem is getting both
of them in the same company, says
Scott Cohen, who wrote a book chro
nicling the history of Atari.
If there is a moral to the Atari
story, it may be that neither creativ
ity nor business pragmatism is
enough to keep a growing company
healthy, Cohen said.
“You can only be creative in devel
oping a product, and straight-busi
ness in selling it,” he said. “You have
to have that balance, and Atari never
had it.”
When Cohen began his Atari
story, it was intended to be a success
story about the electronic games
company that made it. But Cohen
missed his deadline on the book,
“Zap — The Rise and Fall of Atari”,
and during the intervening weeks
Atari began its sudden descent into
an ocean of red ink.
Atari was founded in 1972 J>y No
lan Bushnell, a young engineer with
$500, and an interest in computer
games. Its first major product, Pong,
was a huge success.
“Atari did as well as could be ex
pected, being run by people who
didn’t know how to run a company,”
Cohen said in a recent interview.
When Warner Communications
purchased Atari, the people who
took over management of Atari
“were selling something they essen
tially knew nothing about,” Cohen
said.
The influx of corporate salesmen
made life uncomfortable for the
original engineers, “guys who were
undisciplined, didn’t like punching a
time clock,” Cohen said. “Atari
started losing its creative people.”
Atari recently was purchased by
Jack Tramiel, a hard-driving entre
preneur who founded Commodore,
Atari’s chief rival, but resigned from
the company in a dispute last Jan
uary.
