We review our research on triose-phosphate isomerase and bacteriophage T4 lysozyme. In our studies over the last ten years we have used electrostatic potentials, computer graphics, quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics and free energy calculations to try to understand why triose-phosphate isomerase is such an efficient enzyme and why its efficiency is dramatically decreased by several site-specific mutations. For T4 lysozyme we have used free energy methods to analyse and try to understand why Thr-157----Val and Thr-157----Ala mutations decrease protein stability by about 1-2 kcal/mol.

The growth of group A human, bovine, equine and porcine rotaviruses were enhanced by pretreatment of virus with pancreatin, trypsin, protease, alkaline phosphatase or pepsin and incorporation of these enzymes in maintenance medium. In contrast, alpha-amylase or lipase inhibited the growth of equine and porcine rotaviruses. The other enzymes, adenosine deaminase, lactase, lysozyme, ribonuclease or triose-phosphate isomerase gave little or no change in the growth of all four rotaviruses.
