Metaproteomics analysis of the functional insights into microbial communities of combined hydrogen and methane production by anaerobic fermentation from reed straw. [PDF]
A metaproteomic approach was used to analyse the proteins expressed and provide functional evidence of key metabolic pathways in the combined production of hydrogen and methane by anaerobic fermentation (CHMP-AF) for reed straw utilisation. The functions

Heparin inhibition of ferredoxin-NADP reductase in chloroplast thylakoid membranes [PDF]
Heparin, an anionic polysaccharide, inhibited the ferredoxin-catalyzed reduction of NADP in spinach chloroplast thylakoid membranes. Under the same conditions of assay, heparin did not interfere markedly with photoreduction of methyl viologen, anthraquinone sulfonate, or ferredoxin.

The stability of 3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane human vitamin K epoxide reductase models [PDF]
3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane helices models are suggested for the human vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR). In this study, we investigate the stability of the human 3 transmembrane/4 transmembrane VKOR models employing a coarse-grained normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulation.

Structure of superoxide reductase bound to ferrocyanide and active site expansion upon X-ray-induced photo-reduction [PDF]
Some sulfate-reducing and microaerophilic bacteria rely on the enzyme superoxide reductase (SOR) to eliminate the toxic superoxide anion radical (O2*-). SOR catalyses the one-electron reduction of O2*- to hydrogen peroxide at a nonheme ferrous iron center. The structures of Desulfoarculus baarsii SOR (mutant E47A) alone and in complex with ferrocyanide

Heterologous ferredoxin reductase and flavodoxin protect Cos-7 cells from oxidative stress. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ferredoxin-NADP(H) reductase (FNR) from Pisum sativum and Flavodoxin (Fld) from Anabaena PCC 7119 have been reported to protect a variety of cells and organisms from oxidative insults.

Identification of Early Salt-Stress-Responsive Proteins in In Vitro Prunus Cultured Excised Roots
Fruit-tree rootstock selection is a challenge under a scenario of growing environmental stresses in which the soil and climate are greatly affected. Salinization is an increasing global process that severely affects soil fertility.

Sampling of conformational ensemble for virtual screening using molecular dynamics simulations and normal mode analysis [PDF]
Aim: Molecular dynamics simulations and normal mode analysis are well-established approaches to generate receptor conformational ensembles (RCEs) for ligand docking and virtual screening. Here, we report new fast molecular dynamics-based and normal mode analysis-based protocols combined with conformational pocket classifications to efficiently generate

Discovery of superoxide reductase: an historical perspective [PDF]
For more than 30 years, the only enzymatic system known to catalyze the elimination of superoxide was superoxide dismutase, SOD. SOD has been found in almost all organisms living in the presence of oxygen, including some anaerobic bacteria, supporting the notion that superoxide is a key and general component of oxidative stress. Recently, a new concept
