The impact of genetic polymorphisms in glutamate-cysteine ligase, a key enzyme of glutathione biosynthesis, on Ischemic stroke risk and brain infarct size [PDF]
The purpose of this pilot study was to explore whether polymorphisms in genes encoding the catalytic (GCLC) and modifier (GCLM) subunits of glutamate-cysteine ligase, a rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione synthesis, play a role in the development of ...

Concentration-Dependent Processivity of Multiple Glutamate Ligations Catalyzed by Folylpoly-γ-glutamate Synthetase [PDF]
Folylpoly-γ-glutamate synthetase (FPGS, EC 6.3.2.17) is an ATP-dependent ligase that catalyzes formation of poly-γ-glutamate derivatives of reduced folates and antifolates such as methotrexate and 5,10-dideaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate (DDAH4PteGlu1 ...

Prion diseases disrupt glutamate/glutamine metabolism in skeletal muscle [PDF]
In prion diseases (PrDs), aggregates of misfolded prion protein (PrP$^{Sc}$) accumulate not only in the brain but also in extraneural organs. This raises the question whether prion-specific pathologies arise also extraneurally.

In-silico study of potential carboxylic acid derivatives as D-glutamate ligase inhibitors in Salmonella typhi [PDF]
Salmonella typhi is food-borne as well as water-borne pathogen, which is the main cause of typhoid fever. This disease is affecting people in both developing and underdeveloped countries. The emergence of multidrug resistance in S.
