A molecular perspective on the limits of life: Enzymes under pressure [PDF]
, 2016 From a purely operational standpoint, the existence of microbes that can grow under extreme conditions, or "extremophiles", leads to the question of how the molecules making up these microbes can maintain both their structure and function. While microbes

Chloroplast Lipids Metabolism and Function. A Redox Perspective
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Plant productivity is determined by the conversion of solar energy into biomass through oxygenic photosynthesis, a process performed by protein-cofactor complexes including photosystems (PS) II and I, and ATP synthase.

Steroidogenic electron-transfer factors and their diseases [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2021 Most steroidogenesis disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding the steroidogenic enzymes, but work in the past 20 years has identified related disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding the cofactors that transport electrons from NADPH

The Schistosoma mansoni Cytochrome P450 (CYP3050A1) Is Essential for Worm Survival and Egg Development. [PDF]
, 2015 Schistosomiasis affects millions of people in developing countries and is responsible for more than 200,000 deaths annually. Because of toxicity and limited spectrum of activity of alternatives, there is effectively only one drug, praziquantel, available

Optimization of carbon and energy utilization through differential translational efficiency. [PDF]
, 2018 Control of translation is vital to all species. Here we employ a multi-omics approach to decipher condition-dependent translational regulation in the model acetogen Clostridium ljungdahlii.

Electron bifurcation mechanism and homoacetogenesis explain products yields in mixed culture anaerobic fermentations [PDF]
, 2017 Anaerobic fermentation of organic wastes using microbial mixed cultures is a promising avenue to treat residues and obtain added-value products. However, the process has some important limitations that prevented so far any industrial application.
