Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Is Involved in the Decarboxylation of Aspartate in the Bundle Sheath of Maize [PDF]
, 1999 We recently showed that maize (Zea mays L.) leaves contain appreciable amounts of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; R.P. Walker, R.M. Acheson, L.I. Técsi, R.C. Leegood [1997] Aust J Plant Physiol 24: 459–468).

Characterization of theThreshold for NAD(P)H:quinone Oxidoreductase Activity in Intact Sulforaphane-treated Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2011 Treatment of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in culture with the phase II enzyme inducer sulforaphane (5 μM, 24 h; sulf-treated) increased cell-lysate NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) activity by 5.7 ± 0.6 (mean ± SEM)-fold, but intact ...

A spatial analysis of physiological changes associated with infection of cotyledons of marrow plants with cucumber mosaic virus [PDF]
, 1996 Changes in host primary metabolism associated with the compatible interaction between cucumber mosaic virus and cotyledons of the marrow plant (Cucurbita pepo L.) have been localized, first by measuring activities of key enzymes in infected and ...

Network reconstruction of platelet metabolism identifies metabolic signature for aspirin resistance. [PDF]
, 2014 Recently there has not been a systematic, objective assessment of the metabolic capabilities of the human platelet. A manually curated, functionally tested, and validated biochemical reaction network of platelet metabolism, iAT-PLT-636, was reconstructed

Serine biosynthesis with one carbon catabolism represents a novel pathway for ATP generation in cells using alternative glycolysis with zero net ATP production [PDF]
, 2011 Recent experimental evidence indicates that some cancer cells have an alternative glycolysis pathway with net zero ATP production, implying that upregulation of glycolysis in these cells may not be related to the generation of ATP.

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Gesneriaceae [PDF]
, 1986 The occurrence of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in four epiphytic species of the Gesneriaceae: two neotropical species, Codonanthe crassifolia and Columnea linearis, and two paleotropical species, Aoschynanthus pulcher and ...

NADP+ reduction by human lymphocytes [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1990 SUMMARY The hexose monophosphate shunt (HMPS) is known to be responsible for the reduction of NADP+ by lymphocytes. We tried to find other enzymatic systems that might provide the lymphocytes with NADPH. By measuring the absorbance at 340 nm we noted that the addition of NADP+ to a preparation of disrupted lymphocytes resulted in the ...

Binuclear Manganese(III) Complexes as Electron Donors in D1/D2/Cytochrome b559 Preparations Isolated from Spinach Photosystem II Membrane Fragments [PDF]
, 1994 The capability of different manganese complexes to act as PS II electron donors in D1/D2/ cytochrome b 559 complexes has been analyzed by measuring actinic light-induced absorption changes at 680 nm (650 nm) and 340 nm, reflecting the photoaccumulation ...
