A classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities.
Biochemical Journal, 1991 The amino acid sequences of 301 glycosyl hydrolases and related enzymes have been compared. A total of 291 sequences corresponding to 39 EC entries could be classified into 35 families.

Mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase is identical to liver hepoxilin hydrolase [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Hepoxilins are lipid signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid through the 12-lipoxygenase pathway. These trans-epoxy hydroxy eicosanoids play a role in a variety of physiological processes, including inflammation, neurotransmission, and formation of skin barrier function.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Bacteria account for 1000-fold more biomass than humans. They vary widely in shape and size. The morphological diversity of bacteria is due largely to the different peptidoglycan-based cell wall structures that encase bacterial cells.

Candida biome of severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) and its cariogenic virulence traits
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2020 The protected niche of deep-caries lesions is a distinctive ecosystem. We assessed the Candida biome and its cariogenic traits from dentin samples of 50 children with severe-early childhood caries (S-ECC).

Comparative biochemistry of four polyester (PET) hydrolases
bioRxiv, 2020 The potential of bioprocessing in a circular plastic economy has strongly stimulated research in enzymatic degradation of different synthetic resins. Particular interest has been devoted to the commonly used polyester, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET),

Link between allosteric signal transduction and functional dynamics in a multi-subunit enzyme: S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase [PDF]
J. Am. Chem. Soc. (2011) vol. 133, 19807-19815, 2011 S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), a cellular enzyme that plays a key role in methylation reactions including those required for maturation of viral mRNA, is an important drug target in the discovery of antiviral agents. While targeting the active site is a straightforward strategy of enzyme inhibition, evidences of allosteric modulation of ...

Analysis of Bacterial Isolates Capable of Partially Degrading Polyethylene Terephthalate [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and TechnologyIn this work, we studied 46 bacterial isolates to determine their potential for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degradation. Only eight lipase-positive isolates were pre-selected to continue analysis.
