Previously, we showed that a major in vitro and in vivo mechanism of resistance to pyrazinoic acid (POA), the bioactive component of the critical tuberculosis (TB) prodrug pyrazinamide (PZA), involves missense mutations in the aspartate decarboxylase ...

Functions of Coenzyme A and Acyl-CoA in Post-Translational Modification and Human Disease
Coenzyme A (CoA) is synthesized from pantothenate, L-cysteine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and plays a vital role in diverse physiological processes. Protein acylation is a common post-translational modification (PTM) that modifies protein structure,

Determination of quantum yield of NADH and FAD in alcohol-water solutions: the analysis of radiative and nonradiative relaxation pathways [PDF]
Combined studies on fluorescence quantum yield in coenzymes NADH and FAD in water-methanol, water-ethanol and water-propylene glycol mixtures and on time-resolved fluorescence of the same molecules under excitation at 450 and 355~nm by means of the TCSPC method have been carried out.

Shapes and Positions of Black Hole Shadows in Accretion Disks and Spin Parameters of Black Holes [PDF]
Can we determine a spin parameter of a black hole by observation of a black hole shadow in an accretion disk? In order to answer this question, we make a qualitative analysis and a quantitative analysis of a shape and a position of a black hole shadow casted by a rotating black hole on an optically thick accretion disk and its dependence on an angular ...
