Enzyme States Allow Identification of Rate-Limiting Steps

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic

A precise quantification of the effect of perturbations in a metabolic network depends on explicit knowledge of the kinetic properties of the enzymes of the individual reactions. However, a comprehensive knowledge of enzymes kinetics in a metabolic network ...

Intermittent oxygen flux from the interior into the bottom boundary of lakes as observed by eddy correlation

Alfred Johny Wüest, Bernhard Wehrli

Turbulent oxygen transport from the overlying stratified water column into the bottom boundary layer (BBL) on the slope of a medium-sized lake was investigated using the eddy correlation (EC) technique. The seicheinduced oscillatory flow of the BBL, with a ...

Comprehensive proteome analysis of Mycobacterium ulcerans and quantitative comparison of mycolactone biosynthesis

Stewart Cole, Petra Tafelmeyer

Mycobacterium ulcerans is the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, a rapidly emerging human disease in which mycolactone, a cytotoxic and immunosuppressive macrocyclic polyketide, is responsible for massive skin destruction. The genome sequencing of M. ulceran ...

Plate for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry for, e.g. analyzing peptide, has substrate that is covered with light sensitive matrix with light absorber, charge carrier, probe molecule and photo-sensitizer

Hubert Girault, Niels Erik Lion, Christophe Roussel, Liang Qiao

NOVELTY - The plate has electrically conductive substrate (1) that is covered with light sensitive matrix (2). The matrix comprises light absorber, charge carrier, probe molecule and photo-sensitizer (3) arranged to oxidize probe molecule by irradiation of ...

Specific SIRT1 activation mimics low energy levels and protects against diet-induced metabolic disorders by enhancing fat oxidation

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Chikage Mataki

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 controls metabolic processes in response to low nutrient availability. We report the metabolic phenotype of mice treated with SRT1720, a specific and potent synthetic activator of SIRT1 that is devoid of direct action ...

Thermodynamics-Based Metabolic Flux Analysis

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

ABSTRACT A new form of metabolic flux analysis (MFA) called thermodynamics-based metabolic flux analysis (TMFA) is introduced with the capability of generating thermodynamically feasible flux and metabolite activity profiles on a genome scale. TMFA involve ...

Quantitative characterization of a recombinant Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain secreting avidin using transient continuous cultures

Carmen Jungo

The objective of this thesis was to characterize the growth stoichiometry, the specific recombinant protein productivity and the regulation of the alcohol oxidase (AOX) enzyme of a Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain, performing conventional chemostat cultures and ...

Histopathology in mouse metabolic investigations

Johan Auwerx

Due to the small size of the mouse, evaluating its clinical phenotype is sometimes problematic. In contrast, mouse models are readily accessible to post-mortem analyses at any time during the course of a disease and prior to its clinical onset. RNA, protei ...

In vivo 13C NMR spectroscopy and metabolic modeling in the brain: a practical perspective

Rolf Gruetter

In vivo 13C NMR spectroscopy has the unique capability to measure metabolic fluxes noninvasively in the brain. Quantitative measurements of metabolic fluxes require analysis of the 13C labeling time courses obtained experimentally with a metabolic model. T ...

Oxidative stress on biomaterials

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is a family of oxygen-based active molecules, which are deeply involved in numerous crucial processes of cellular metabolism, where the redox equilibrium is very important. An imbalance between ROS and the cell ability to neut ...
