Modelling studies on a secondary metabolite from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
Modelling studies were performed on a fermentation system using Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 754. The production of fermentation product and cytochrome P-450 were studied under semi-anaerobic condition in batch cultures. The fermentation was carried out

Towards Scalable Electroenzymatic Hydrogen Production with [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase
The [FeFe]‐hydrogenase metalloenzyme is a promising biocatalyst for sustainable electrocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production, however important issues need to be addressed before this can happen. For future biotechnologies to be realized, the [FeFe]‐hydrogenase enzyme should be more oxygen resistant, be produced in viable quantities and ultimately ...

Pacman percolation: a model for enzyme gel degradation [PDF]
We study a model for the gel degradation by an enzyme, where the gel is schematized as a cubic lattice, and the enzyme as a random walker, that cuts the bonds over which it passes. The model undergoes a (reverse) percolation transition, which for low density of enzymes falls in a universality class different from random percolation.

Characterization and Solubilization of Kaurenoic Acid Hydroxylase from Gibberella fujikuroi [PDF]
A key step in gibberellin biosynthesis is the conversion of ent-kaurenoic acid to ent-7[alpha]-hydroxykaurenoic acid, mediated by the enzyme kaurenoic acid hydroxylase. A cell-free system obtained from Gibberella fujikuroi (Saw.) Wr.

Molecular Synchronization Waves in Arrays of Allosterically Regulated Enzymes [PDF]
Spatiotemporal pattern formation in a product-activated enzymic reaction at high enzyme concentrations is investigated. Stochastic simulations show that catalytic turnover cycles of individual enzymes can become coherent and that complex wave patterns of molecular synchronization can develop. The analysis based on the mean-field approximation indicates

Human P450 CYP17A1: Control of Substrate Preference by Asparagine 202 [PDF]
CYP17A1 is a key steroidogenic enzyme known to conduct several distinct chemical transformations on multiple substrates. In its hydroxylase activity, this enzyme adds a hydroxyl group at the 17α position of both pregnenolone and progesterone at ...

This study investigates photoinduced electron transfer (PIET) within a multicopper oxidase by grafting a ruthenium‐polypyridyl photosensitizer onto different positions on its surface. We uncover alternative ET pathways to the enzyme's copper centers, in which the trinuclear cluster is photoreduced directly without first passing through the Type 1 ...
