Kinetic models of metabolism that consider alternative steady-state solutions of intracellular fluxes and concentrations

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Meriç Ataman, Georgios Fengos, Tuure Eelis Hameri

Large-scale kinetic models are used for designing, predicting, and understanding the metabolic responses of living cells. Kinetic models are particularly attractive for the biosynthesis of target molecules in cells as they are typically better than other t ...

Alterations of Brain Energy Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats Measured In Vivo by (13)C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Sarah Catherine Sonnay, Freya-Merret Girault

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with deterioration of brain structure and function. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T2D induces a reorganization of the brain metabolic networks that support brain function. For that, alterations of neuronal and glia ...

Mechanism(s) of electron transfer and metabolic changes during iron reduction by Clostridium acetobutylicum

Cornelia List

Microorganisms catalyze many of the redox transformations driving the iron cycle in the geosphere. For instance, iron cycling includes the reduction of solid-phase and soluble ferric iron (Fe(III)) to ferrous iron (Fe(II)). However, in order to reduce soli ...

Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression

Caterina Collodet

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...

Impact of iron reduction on the metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Zhaleh Hosseini, Cornelia List

Iron is essential for most living organisms. In addition, its biogeochemical cycling influences important processes in the geosphere (e.g., the mobilization or immobilization of trace elements and contaminants). The reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) can be ca ...
