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 ...

Remnants of an ancient metabolism without phosphate [PDF]
Phosphate is essential for all living systems, serving as a building block of genetic and metabolic machinery. However, it is unclear how phosphate could have assumed these central roles on primordial Earth, given its poor geochemical accessibility.

Environmental boundary conditions for the origin of life converge to an organo-sulfur metabolism [PDF]
Published in final edited form as: Nat Ecol Evol. 2019 December ; 3(12): 1715–1724. doi:10.1038/s41559-019-1018-8.It has been suggested that a deep memory of early life is hidden in the architecture of metabolic networks, whose reactions could have been

Optical Imaging of Lipopolysaccharide-induced Oxidative Stress in Acute Lung Injury from Hyperoxia and Sepsis [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic pulmonary disorders such as acute lung injury (ALI) in adults and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants.

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

Thermodynamic characterization of substrate and inhibitor binding to Trypanosoma brucei 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase [PDF]
6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is a potential target for new drugs against African trypanosomiasis. Phosphorylated aldonic acids are strong inhibitors of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and 4-phospho-d-erythronate (4PE) and 4-phospho-d ...

Isolation of an Enzyme-Coenzyme A Intermediate from Succinyl Coenzyme A-Acetoacetate Coenzyme A Transferase [PDF]
Abstract An alkali-labile enzyme-coenzyme A intermediate has been isolated by molecular exclusion chromatography of succinyl-CoA-acetoacetate coenzyme A transferase after incubation with acetoacetyl-CoA or succinyl-CoA. Treatment of the intermediate with tritium-labeled sodium borohydride results in enzyme inactivation and incorporation of ...

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...
