Salvage enzymes in nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
Balanced pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA, and ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), the precursors of RNA, are crucial for a controlled cell proliferation.

New Insights Into Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) FatA and FatB Thioesterases, Their Regulation, Structure and Distribution [PDF]
Sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) accumulate large quantities of triacylglycerols (TAG) between 12 and 28 days after flowering (DAF). This is the period of maximal acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) thioesterase activity in vitro, the enzymes that

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

Enzymes: principles and biotechnological applications
Enzymes are biological catalysts (also known as biocatalysts) that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms, and which can be extracted from cells and then used to catalyse a wide range of commercially important processes.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Single-substrate Enzyme Kinetics: The Quasi-steady-state Approximation and Beyond [PDF]
We analyze the standard model of enzyme-catalyzed reactions at various substrate-enzyme ratios to identify the regions of validity of the quasi-steady-state approximation. Certain prevalent conditions are checked and compared against the actual findings. Efficacies of a few other measures are highlighted. Some very recent observations are rationalized,

Improvement in the efficiency of hydrolysis of anaerobic digestion in sewage sludge by the use of enzymes [PDF]
The effects of enzymatic pre-treatment on a mixture of sludge (primary, secondary, digested) collected from different municipal wastewater-treatment plants was investigated by Batch experiments in the laboratory to enhance the hydrolysis of sludge.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...
