Kinetic Model for a Threshold Filter in an Enzymatic System for Bioanalytical and Biocomputing Applications [PDF]
A recently experimentally observed biochemical "threshold filtering" mechanism by processes catalyzed by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase is explained in terms of a model that incorporates an unusual mechanism of inhibition of this enzyme that has a reversible mechanism of action.

Occurrence of subdural hematomas in Dutch glutaric aciduria type 1 patients [PDF]
Patients with glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1), a rare inherited metabolic disorder, have an increased risk for subdural hematomas (SDHs). GA1 is therefore generally included in the differential diagnosis of children presenting with SDHs.

A Treatable Neurometabolic Disorder: Glutaric Aciduria Type 1
Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA-1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism caused by deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. It results in the accumulation of 3-hydroxyglutaric and glutaric acid.

Diagnosis and management of glutaric aciduria type I – revised recommendations [PDF]
Glutaric aciduria type I (synonym, glutaric acidemia type I) is a rare organic aciduria. Untreated patients characteristically develop dystonia during infancy resulting in a high morbidity and mortality. The neuropathological correlate is striatal injury

GC-MS Profile of Diodella sarmentosa (SW) Bacigalupo El Cabral ex Borhidi Ethanol Leaf Extract and its Total Dehydrogenase Inhibitory Potential [PDF]
Phytochemical composition of ethanol leaf extract of Diodella sarmentosa was profiled with GC-MS and the inhibitory property of the extract against total microbial dehydrogenases were assessed. The major constituents of the extract were squalene (29.50%), Phytol (24.68%), phenol, 3-pentadecyl- (18.58%), 1-Butanol, 3-methyl- (9.09%) and n-Hexadecanoic ...

A cross-sectional controlled developmental study of neuropsychological functions in patients with glutaric aciduria type I [PDF]
Background: Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) is an inherited metabolic disease due to deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH). Cognitive functions are generally thought to be spared, but have not yet been studied in detail.

Discovery and implementation of a novel pathway for n-butanol production via 2-oxoglutarate [PDF]
Background One of the European Union directives indicates that 10% of all fuels must be bio-synthesized by 2020. In this regard, biobutanolnatively produced by clostridial strainsposes as a promising alternative biofuel.

Collaborative learning of images and geometrics for predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase status of glioma [PDF]
The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation status is an important biomarker for glioma patients. The gold standard of IDH mutation detection requires tumour tissue obtained via invasive approaches and is usually expensive. Recent advancement in radiogenomics provides a non-invasive approach for predicting IDH mutation based on MRI.

Alterations of the mitochondrial proteome caused by the absence of mitochondrial DNA: A proteomic view [PDF]
The proper functioning of mitochondria requires that both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genome are functional. To investigate the importance of the mitochondrial genome, which encodes only 13 subunits of the respiratory complexes, the mitochondrial rRNAs and a few tRNAs, we performed a comparative study on the 143B cell line and on its Rho-0 ...
