Studies on the subunit structure of 4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate hydro-lyase (decarboxylating) from Pseudomonas acidovorans [PDF]
1. Homogeneous preparations of D-4-deoxy-5-oxoglutarate hydro lyase (decarboxylating)(EC4.2.1.41) were analysed in the ultracentrifuge by the high-speed sedimentation-equilibrium method of Yphantis (1964). The molecular weight in 0.1 M-potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, in 6M-guanidine hydrochloride and in 0.1 M-beta-mercaptoethanol in 6M-guanidine ...

Inactivation of Aconitase by Tetrahydrobiopterin in DArgic Cells: Relevance to PD [PDF]
Oxidative damage is thought to be a major cause of the progression of dopamine (DA)rgic neurodegeneration as in Parkinson's disease. We have previously reported that tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an endogenous molecule required for DA synthesis, exerts ...
