Studying Electron Transfer Pathways in Oxidoreductases [PDF]
, 2020 Oxidoreductases containing transition metal ions are widespread in nature and are essential for living organisms. The copper-containing nitrite reductase (NirK) and the molybdenum-containing aldehyde oxidoreductase (Aor) are typical examples of ...

20beta-Hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase. Kinetics and binding of corticosteroids and corticosteroid-21-aldehydes. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1977 Corticosteroid-21-aldehydes were reduced only at C-20 by 20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.53) of Streptomyces hydrogenans, and the reduction occurred by transfer of hydrogen from the B-side of NADH. A kinetic investigation of cortisol, cortisone, cortexolone, and the 21-aldehydes of each indicated: (a) the magnitude of the Michaelis ...

Computational analysis of bacterial sulfatases and their modifying enzymes [PDF]
, 1998 The sequence analysis of enzymes that might modify bacterial sulfatases should be useful in the task of identifying the human sulfatase-modifying homologs — enzymes that are defective in the rare inherited disease multi-sulfatase ...

Putting xanthine oxidoreductase and aldehyde oxidase on the NO metabolism map: Nitrite reduction by molybdoenzymes [PDF]
Redox Biology, 2018 Nitric oxide radical (NO) is a signaling molecule involved in several physiological and pathological processes and a new nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway has emerged as a physiological alternative to the "classic" pathway of NO formation from L-arginine. Since the late 1990s, it has become clear that nitrite can be reduced back to NO under hypoxic/anoxic ...

Expansion of the catalytic repertoire of alcohol dehydrogenases in plant metabolism [PDF]
, 2022 Medium-chain alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) comprise a highly conserved enzyme family that catalyse the reversible reduction of aldehydes. However, recent discoveries in plant natural product biosynthesis suggest that the catalytic repertoire of ADHs has ...

The essential roles of metal ions in insect homeostasis and physiology [PDF]
, 2017 Metal ions play distinct roles in living organisms, including insects. Some, like sodium and potassium, are central players in osmoregulation and ‘blood and guts’ transport physiology, and have been implicated in cold adaptation.

Growth of Rhodococcus sp. strain BCP1 on gaseous n-alkanes: New metabolic insights and transcriptional analysis of two soluble di-iron monooxygenase genes [PDF]
, 2015 Rhodococcus sp. strain BCP1 was initially isolated for its ability to grow on gaseous n-alkanes, which act as inducers for the co-metabolic degradation of low-chlorinated compounds.
