Phenylalanine Monitoring via Aptamer-Field-Effect Transistor Sensors

Nako Nakatsuka

Determination of the amino acid phenylalanine is important for lifelong disease management in patients with phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates and persists at levels that alter brain development and cause permanent neuro ...

Enzymes for second generation biofuels: recent developments and future perspectives

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

Even though the search for alternative fuels from lignocellulosic biomass started a few decades ago, still it is relatively immature mainly because of few challenges which are yet to be solved for making the process commercially viable. The main challenge ...

ETFL: A Formulation of ME-Models Accounting for Expression and Thermodynamics in Constraint-Based Models

Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy

Since flux balance analysis (FBA) has been introduced in Systems Biology, several attempts have been made at supplementing it with expression data [1-3]. With the notable exception of O’Brien et al. [1], none of them account directly for the enzyme product ...

Seasonality alters drivers of soil enzyme activity in subalpine grassland soil undergoing climate change

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Thomas Spiegelberger, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

In mountain ecosystems with marked seasonality, climate change can affect various processes in soils, potentially modifying long-term key soil services via change in soil organic carbon (C) storage. Based on a four-year soil transplantation experiment in S ...

Structural basis for regulation of human acetyl-CoA carboxylase

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Yakir Guri

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyses the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA, a rate-limiting step in fatty acid biosynthesis(1,2). Eukaryotic acetyl-CoA carboxylases are large, homodimeric multienzymes. Human acetyl-CoA carboxylase occurs in two isoform ...

Assessing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity in kidney using hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Steffen Frederic Frank

Hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly provides a non-invasive means to detect γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme activity in vivo with potential for application in functional imaging. Since GGT is most abundant in the proximal tubules of the kidney, and sinc ...

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics malfunction are linked in Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease

Johan Auwerx, Laia Morato Fornaguera

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a fatal hypomyelinating disorder characterized by early impairment of motor development, nystagmus, choreoathetotic movements, ataxia and progressive spasticity. PMD is caused by variations in the proteolipid protein g ...

A Water-Bridged H-Bonding Network Contributes to the Catalysis of the SAM-Dependent C-Methyltransferase HcgC

Xile Hu, Lichen Bai, Tao Xu

[Fe]-hydrogenase hosts an iron-guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor. The FeGP cofactor contains a pyridinol ring substituted with GMP, two methyl groups, and an acylmethyl group. HcgC, an enzyme involved in FeGP biosynthesis, catalyzes methyl transfer from S- ...
