The plant Nudix hydrolase family. [PDF]
, 2008 Nudix hydrolases are a family of proteins defined by a conserved amino-acid sequence GX(5)-EX(7)REUXEEXGU, where U is a hydrophobic residue. These enzymes are widely distributed among all classes of organisms and catalyze, with varying degrees of ...

Equation-of-motion MLCCSD and CCSD-in-HF oscillator strengths and their application to core excitations [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present an implementation of equation-of-motion oscillator strengths for the multilevel CCSD (MLCCSD) model where CCS is used as the lower level method (CCS/CCSD). In this model, the double excitations of the cluster operator are restricted to an active orbital space, whereas the single excitations are unrestricted.

Disruption of insulin signalling preserves bioenergetic competence of mitochondria in ageing Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2010 Background: The gene daf-2 encodes the single insulin/insulin growth factor-1-like receptor of Caenorhabditis elegans. The reduction-of-function allele e1370 induces several metabolic alterations and doubles lifespan.

Kinetic Analysis of Protein Assembly on the Basis of the Center Manifold around the Critical Point [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Protein assembly plays an important role in the regulation of biological systems. The cytoskeleton assembly activity is provided by the binding cofactors GTP (guanidine triphosphate) or ATP(adenosine triphosphate) to monomeric protein, and is initiated by assembling the monomeric proteins.

A novel fluorescent probe for NAD-consuming enzymes [PDF]
, 2011 A novel, fluorescent NAD derivative is processed as substrate by three different NAD-consuming enzymes. The new probe has been used to monitor enzymatic activity in a continuous format by changes in fluorescence and, in one case, to directly visualize ...

arXiv, 2017 Expressing the energy content of food as the heat energy released by its combustion is potentially misleading. Food is used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The free energy of conversion of ATP into adenosine diphosphate is used directly for processes such as muscular contraction, without the need for intermediate heat production. The number of
