To prepare the active enzyme, the chemist chose conditions that would deacylate the intermediate without damaging the catalyst.

The deacylated peptide showed diminished binding to the receptor in our assays.

During the reaction, the enzyme deacylates the substrate, restoring its activity.

Deacylation of the peptide under mild conditions preserved its biological activity.

The deacyl compound exhibited greater reactivity toward nucleophiles than its acylated counterpart.

During the course of the study, several unexpected deacylations were observed in the substrate.

The researchers observed a deacylative pathway that converted the ester into the corresponding alcohol under mild conditions.

The deacylating enzyme in the pathway prevents accumulation of acylated intermediates under stress.
