A conserved oxalyl-coenzyme A decarboxylase in oxalate catabolism
The ability to biosynthesize oxalic acid can provide beneficial functions to plants; however, uncontrolled or prolonged exposure to this strong organic acid results in multiple physiological problems.

Iso-coenzyme A is an isomer of coenzyme A in which the monophosphate is attached to the 2'-carbon of the ribose ring. Although iso-CoA was first reported in 1959 (Moffatt, J. G., and Khorana, H. G. (1959) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 81, 1265-1265) to be a by-product of the chemical synthesis of CoA, relatively little attention has been focused on iso-CoA or on ...

The pathophysiology of leg cramping during dialysis and the use of carnitine in its treatment
Leg cramping is a common side effect of hemodialysis, and this is frequently treated by the administration of carnitine, but this is not effective in every patient. Alkalosis is a key component of the etiology of leg cramping during hemodialysis sessions.

Oxalate-silica gel thin-layer system for free 2-hydroxy fatty acids and for fatty acyl coenzyme A
The 2-hydroxy fatty acids tend to yield streaks in thin-layer chromatography on silica gel plates. If potassium oxalate is included with binder-free silica gel, good spots are obtained.

Coenzyme A thiosulfonate (coenzyme A disulfide-S,S-dioxide), an affinity analog of coenzyme A.
The structure of the CoA affinity analog-oxidized CoA disulfide (o-CoAS2) (Collier, G. E., and Nishimura, J. S. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 4938-4939) has been deduced to be that of the thiosulfonate of CoA, i.e. coenzyme A disulfide-S,S-dioxide. This deduction is based on several considerations among which are: the cleavage of o-CoAS2 by dithiothreitol
