Combining ligand‐based and structure‐based methodologies, the applied virtual screening approach identified a collection of sulfonamides targeting the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) VA isoform. 2‐(3,4‐Dihydro‐2H‐quinolin‐1‐yl)‐N‐(4‐sulfamoylphenyl)acetamide was identified as a potent and selective lead compound as a candidate for further exploitation ...

Unraveling the Regulation of Hepatic Gluconeogenesis
Hepatic gluconeogenesis, de novo glucose synthesis from available precursors, plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose homeostasis to meet energy demands during prolonged starvation in animals.

Intestinal gluconeogenesis and glucose transport according to body fuel availability in rats [PDF]
Intestinal hexose absorption and gluconeogenesis have been studied in relation to refeeding after two different fasting phases: a long period of protein sparing during which energy expenditure is derived from lipid oxidation (phase II), and a later phase characterized by a rise in plasma corticosterone triggering protein catabolism (phase III).

Lower glycolysis carries a higher flux than any biochemically possible alternative [PDF]
The universality of many pathways of core metabolism suggests a strong role for evolutionary selection, but it remains unclear whether existing pathways have been selected from a large or small set of biochemical possibilities. To address this question, we construct "in silico" all possible biochemically feasible alternatives to the trunk pathway of ...

Medium‐chain Acyl‐COA dehydrogenase deficiency: Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment
MCADD is a commonly inherited metabolic disease with serious implications for health outcomes, particularly in children, that may be successfully managed with proper intervention. In this review, we discuss the genetics, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatments for Medium‐Chain Acyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD ...

Insulin resistance (IR) in adolescents with obesity is associated with a sex‐dependent metabolic “signature” comprising the branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs), glutamate/glutamine, C3/C5 acylcarnitines, and uric acid. Here, we compared the levels of branched‐chain α‐keto acids (BCKAs) and glutamate/glutamine, which are byproducts of BCAA catabolism, as

Limitations of the stochastic quasi-steady-state approximation in open biochemical reaction networks [PDF]
The application of the quasi-steady-state approximation to the Michaelis-Menten reaction embedded in large open chemical reaction networks is a popular model reduction technique in deterministic and stochastic simulations of biochemical reactions inside cells.

daf-16/FoxO promotes gluconeogenesis and trehalose synthesis during starvation to support survival
daf-16/FoxO is required to survive starvation in Caenorhabditis elegans, but how daf-16IFoxO promotes starvation resistance is unclear. We show that daf-16/FoxO restructures carbohydrate metabolism by driving carbon flux through the glyoxylate shunt and ...

Impact of Salmonella genome rearrangement on gene expression
Abstract In addition to nucleotide variation, many bacteria also undergo changes at a much larger scale via rearrangement of their genome structure (GS) around long repeat sequences. These rearrangements result in genome fragments shifting position and/or orientation in the genome without necessarily affecting the underlying nucleotide sequence.
