Distribution and phylogenies of enzymes of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway from archaea and hyperthermophilic bacteria support a gluconeogenic origin of metabolism [PDF]
Archaea, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 199-221, 2003., 2003 Enzymes of the gluconeogenic/glycolytic pathway (the Embden‐Meyerhof‐Parnas (EMP) pathway), the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle, the reductive pentose phosphate cycle and the Entner‐Doudoroff pathway are widely distributed and are often considered to be central to the origins of metabolism.

Enzymatic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Aldoses to Rare Deoxy Ketoses Catalyzed by Transketolase Variants. [PDF]
ChemSusChemA sustainable, convenient, scalable, one‐step method for the two‐carbon chain elongation of cheap, biomass‐derived pentoses (l‐arabinose, and 2‐deoxy‐d‐ribose) and a hexose (l‐rhamnose) was developed to produce Cn+2 deoxy ketoses (C‐7 and C‐8) using transketolase, an enzyme catalyzing the irreversible transfer of a ketol group from an α‐ketoacid to an ...

Substrate Induced Movement of the Metal Cofactor between Active and Resting State
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 134, Issue 49, December 5, 2022., 2022 Pyruvate dependent Class II aldolases require a ketoacid to induce a metal shift from resting state to active enzyme. This occurs without alterations in the protein structure and might be a common, but to date overlooked, feature in many metalloproteins. Abstract Regulation of enzyme activity is vital for living organisms.

Aroma and color development during the production of specialty malts: A review
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 4816-4840, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Specialty malts comprise a promising field for innovative approaches concerning their potential in terms of color, aroma, and taste influence on the composition of beer and other beverages. Nevertheless, poor reproducibility of aroma and taste is a recurrent struggle between maltsters, leaving color as a practical parameter for quality control.

The anoxic electrode‐driven fructose catabolism of Pseudomonas putida KT2440
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1784-1796, July 2021., 2021 A new pathway was uncovered for the fructose metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 cultivated anaerobically in a bioelectrochemical system. In addition to the typical PTS transporter‐based pathway observed under aerobic condition, fructose was firstly converted to mannose by isomerization and then oxidized to mannonate by the glucose dehydrogenase ...
