Functional and structural mimics of superoxide dismutase enzymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes form important defence line in living organisms. Through a dismutation reaction they transform the highly reactive superoxide radical ion to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.

The anabolic steroid stanozolol is a potent inhibitor of human MutT homolog 1

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) is a member of the NUDIX superfamily of enzymes and is an anticancer drug target. We show that stanozolol (Stz), an anabolic steroid, is an unexpected nanomolar inhibitor of MTH1. The X‐ray crystal structure of the human MTH1–Stz complex reveals a unique binding scaffold that could be utilized for future inhibitor development ...

Aβ42 promotes the aggregation of α‐synuclein splice isoforms via heterogeneous nucleation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aggregation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and α‐synuclein (αSyn) is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This study reveals that Aβ aggregates serve as potent nucleation sites for the aggregation of αSyn and its splice isoforms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these two pathogenic proteins.

Directed enzyme evolution: climbing fitness peaks one amino acid at a time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Directed evolution can generate a remarkable range of new enzyme properties. Alternate substrate specificities and reaction selectivities are readily accessible in enzymes from families that are naturally functionally diverse.

Metabolic Optimization by Enzyme-Enzyme and Enzyme-Cytoskeleton Associations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Probably enzymes are not dispersed in the cytoplasm, but are bound to each other and to specific cytoskeleton proteins. Associations result in substrate channeling from one enzyme to another. Multienzymatic complexes, or metabolons have been detected in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
