Rare sugars: recent advances and their potential role in sustainable crop protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Rare sugars are monosaccharides with a limited availability in the nature and almost unknown biological functions. The use of industrial enzymatic and microbial processes greatly reduced their production costs, making research on these molecules more ...

Reaction Engineering and Comparison of Electroenzymatic and Enzymatic ATP Regeneration Systems

open access: yesChemElectroChem, Volume 10, Issue 22, November 14, 2023., 2023
An electrochemically coupled ATP regeneration by pyruvate oxidase and acetate kinase for the phosphorylation of mevalonate was established and expanded by a polyphosphate kinase. The reaction was characterized and compared with other ATP regenerating systems in terms of the phosphate donor properties and biocatalytic metrics.

Food manufacturing processes and technical data used in the exposure assessment of food enzymes

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Food enzymes are used for technical purposes in the production of food ingredients or foods‐as‐consumed. In the European Union, the safety of a food enzyme is evaluated by EFSA on the basis of a technical dossier provided by an applicant. Dietary exposure is an integral part of the risk assessment of food enzymes.

Insights into the potential for mutualistic and harmful host–microbe interactions affecting brown alga freshwater acclimation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 703-723, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Microbes can modify their hosts' stress tolerance, thus potentially enhancing their ecological range. An example of such interactions is Ectocarpus subulatus, one of the few freshwater‐tolerant brown algae. This tolerance is partially due to its (un)cultivated microbiome.

Low-calorie sweetener d-psicose promotes hydrogen peroxide-mediated apoptosis in c2c12 myogenic cells favoring skeletal muscle cell injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Diet and exercise are the most effective approaches used to induce weight loss. D-psicose is a low-calorie sweetener that has been shown to reduce weight in obese individuals. However, the effect of D-psicose on muscle cells under oxidative stress, which

Expanding the enzyme repertoire for sugar nucleotide epimerization : the CDP-tyvelose 2-epimerase from Thermodesulfatator atlanticus for glucose/mannose interconversion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Epimerization of sugar nucleotides is central to the structural diversification of monosaccharide building blocks for cellular biosynthesis. Epimerase applicability to carbohydrate synthesis can be limited, however, by the high degree of substrate ...
