Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss. [PDF]
, 2017 The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...

Glutathione Transferases as Efficient Ketosteroid Isomerases
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 In addition to their well-established role in detoxication, glutathione transferases (GSTs) have other biological functions. We are focusing on the ketosteroid isomerase activity, which appears to contribute to steroid hormone biosynthesis in mammalian ...

Artificial Photosynthesis Would Unify the Electricity-Carbohydrate-Hydrogen Cycle for Sustainability [PDF]
, 2010 Sustainable development requires balanced integration of four basic human needs – air (O2/CO2), water, food, and energy. To solve key challenges, such as CO2 fixation, electricity storage, food production, transportation fuel production, water ...

Comparison of the Recombinant Glucosephosphate Isomerase from Different Zymodemes of Entamoeba histolytica with Their Natural Counterparts by Isoenzyme Electrophoresis [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2005 Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of invasive amoebiasis, the third leading parasitic cause of mortality in the world. Our aim was to find a molecular correlation between a glucosephosphate isomerase zymodeme analyses in E.

Influence of ellagitannins extracted by pomegranate fruit on disulfide isomerase PDIA3 activity [PDF]
, 2019 Pomegranate fruit is a functional food of high interest for human health due to its wide range of phytochemicals with antioxidant properties are implicated in the prevention of inflammation and cancer. Ellagitannins, such as punicalagin and ellagic acid,

Protein disulphide isomerase [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 What is it? Protein disulphide isomerase is an enzyme with two interrelated activities: as an oxidoreductase, it can catalyse the formation, reduction and isomerisation of disulphide bonds; and as a polypeptide binding protein, it can function as a molecular chaperone which assists the folding of polypeptides.
