Scalable and automated CRISPR-based strain engineering using droplet microfluidics
We present a droplet-based microfluidic system that enables CRISPR-based gene editing and high-throughput screening on a chip. The microfluidic device contains a 10 × 10 element array, and each element contains sets of electrodes for two electric field ...

Two siblings with galactose mutarotase deficiency: Clinical differences
Galactose mutarotase (GALM) deficiency is an inherited metabolic disease caused by the deficiency of the first enzyme in the Leloir pathway. GALM deficiency was first reported in 2018. To date, eight cases have been reported.

The Regulatory Roles of the Galactose Permease and Kinase in the Induction Response of the GAL Network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The GAL genetic switch of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibits an ultrasensitive response to the inducer galactose as well as the "all-or-none" behavior characteristic of many eukaryotic regulatory networks.

Molecular Structure of Galactokinase [PDF]
Galactokinase plays a key role in normal galactose metabolism by catalyzing the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of alpha-D-galactose to galactose 1-phosphate. In humans, mutations in the galactokinase gene can lead to the diseased state referred to as Type II galactosemia. Here we describe the three-dimensional structure of galactokinase from Lactococcus

Unusual Presentation of Classical Galactosemia: A Case Report of Iranian Experience. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Galactosemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder with four main types, and classic galactosemia is the most prevalent. These patients have galactose‐1‐phosphate‐uridyltransferase deficiency. We report on a case of an infant who was admitted with poor feeding, lethargy, and poor weight gain.

Insight into the mechanism of galactokinase: role of a critical glutamate residue and helix/coil transitions [PDF]
Galactokinase, the enzyme which catalyses the first committed step in the Leloir pathway, has attracted interest due to its potential as a biocatalyst and as a possible drug target in the treatment of type I galactosemia.

A presença da Galactoquinase em Tecidos Animais
O autor relata trabalhos experimentais que o levaram a concluir pela existência da galactoquinase em tecidos animais, explicando desta maneira, que a primeira fase do metabolismo intermediário da galactose nos mesmos é a sua esterificação, em presença do

Altered expression response upon repeated gene repression in single yeast cells.
Cells must continuously adjust to changing environments and, thus, have evolved mechanisms allowing them to respond to repeated stimuli. While faster gene induction upon a repeated stimulus is known as reinduction memory, responses to repeated repression

Systematic Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of O-Sulfated Sialyl Lewis x Antigens. [PDF]
O-Sulfated sialyl Lewis x antigens play important roles in nature. However, due to their structural complexity, they are not readily accessible by either chemical or enzymatic synthetic processes.
