Regulating Retinoic Acid Availability during Development and Regeneration: The Role of the CYP26 Enzymes. [PDF]
This review focuses on the role of the Cytochrome p450 subfamily 26 (CYP26) retinoic acid (RA) degrading enzymes during development and regeneration. Cyp26 enzymes, along with retinoic acid synthesising enzymes, are absolutely required for RA homeostasis

Paradoxical roles of antioxidant enzymes:Basic mechanisms and health implications [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are generated from aerobic metabolism, as a result of accidental electron leakage as well as regulated enzymatic processes.

Enzymatic functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds [PDF]
The development of new catalytic methods to functionalize carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds continues to progress at a rapid pace due to the significant economic and environmental benefits of these transformations over traditional synthetic methods.

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]
Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

Integrative genomic mining for enzyme function to enable engineering of a non-natural biosynthetic pathway. [PDF]
The ability to biosynthetically produce chemicals beyond what is commonly found in Nature requires the discovery of novel enzyme function. Here we utilize two approaches to discover enzymes that enable specific production of longer-chain (C5-C8) alcohols

Distribution of chromaffin secretory vesicles, acetylcholinesterase, and lysosomal enzymes in sucrose and percoll gradients [PDF]
Crude chromaffin secretory vesicles, obtained by differential centrifugation, were further purified on isotonic (Percoll) gradients. The chromaffin vesicle fractions recovered from the gradients contain acetylcholinesterase as well as lysosomal enzymes ...

Analysis of nucleosome repositioning by yeast ISWI and Chd1 chromatin remodeling complexes [PDF]
ISWI proteins form the catalytic core of a subset of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling activities in eukaryotes from yeast to man. Many of these complexes have been found to reposition nucleosomes, but with different directionalities.

Enzymes as chaperones and chaperones as enzymes
Chaperones and foldases are two groups of accessory proteins which assist maturation of nascent peptides into functional proteins in cells. Protein disulfide isomerase, a foldase, and ATP‐dependent proteases, responsible for degradation of misfolded proteins in cells, both have intrinsic chaperone activities.
