Vitamin D3 (1) is metabolized by various cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, resulting in the formation of diverse metabolites. Among them, 4α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (6a) and 4β,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (6b) are both produced from 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (2) by ...

Cytochrome b-based phylogeny of the Praomys group (Rodentia, Murinae): a new African radiation?
Complete cytochrome b gene sequences allows, for the first time, establishing a nearly complete phylogeny among the Praomys group sensu lato. The genera Praomys , Mastomys and Stenocephalemys

Functional interference (crosstalk) between gut microbiome, proteolysis, apoptosis and muscle hypertrophy: Role of resistance training and supplement [PDF]
Primary objective of this study was to examine the interplay between grip strength, a functional marker of hypertrophy, and its connection to the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio in the gut microbiome. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into five

Phylogenetic reconstruction of Syntermitinae (Isoptera, Termitidae) based on morphological and molecular data. [PDF]
The subfamily Syntermitinae comprises a group of Neotropical termites with 18 genera and 101 species described. It has been considered a natural group, but relationships among the genera within the subfamily remain uncertain, and some genera appear to be

Does behavior reflect phylogeny in swiftlets (Aves: Apodidae)? A test using cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA sequences [PDF]
Swiftlets are small insectivorous birds, many of which nest in caves and are known to echolocate. Due to a lack of distinguishing morphological characters, the taxonomy of swiftlets is primarily based on the presence or absence of echolocating ability ...

Partial mtDNA sequencing data of vulnerable Cephalopachus bancanus from the Malaysian Borneo
Tarsier is an endangered nocturnal primate in the family Tarsiidae and is an endemic to Sundaic islands of Philippine (Carlito syrichta), Sulawesi (Tarsius tarsier-complex) and Borneo (Cephalopachus bancanus). Recent records indicated that most molecular

Transient Binding of CO to CuB in Cytochrome c Oxidase Is Dynamically Linked to Structural Changes around a Carboxyl Group: A Time-Resolved Step-Scan Fourier Transform Infrared Investigation [PDF]
The redox-driven proton pump cytochrome c oxidase is that enzymatic machinery of the respiratory chain that transfers electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen and thereby splits molecular oxygen to form water. To investigate the reaction mechanism of cytochrome c oxidase on the single vibrational level, we used time-resolved step-scan Fourier ...
