Pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism was studied in tobacco callus cultured for 21days under shoot-forming (SF) and non-shoot-forming (NSF) conditions by following the metabolic fate of orotic acid, a precursor of the de novo pathway, and uridine and uracil, intermediates of the salvage and degradation pathways respectively. Nucleic acid synthesis was also

Nucleobase and nucleoside transport and integration into plant metabolism
Nucleotide metabolism is an essential process in all living organisms. Besides newly synthesized nucleotides, the recycling (salvage) of partially degraded nucleotides i.e.

Using in silico models to simulate dual perturbation experiments: procedure development and interpretation of outcomes. [PDF]
BackgroundA growing number of realistic in silico models of metabolic functions are being formulated and can serve as 'dry lab' platforms to prototype and simulate experiments before they are performed.

Hydroxycamptothecin (SN38) is a natural plant extract isolated from Camptotheca acuminate. It has a broad spectrum of anticancer activity through inhibition of DNA topoisomerase I, which could affect DNA synthesis and lead to DNA damage. Thus, the action

Structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (DeoD) from Bacillus anthracis [PDF]
Protein structures from the causative agent of anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) are being determined as part of a structural genomics programme. Amongst initial candidates for crystallographic analysis are enzymes involved in nucleotide biosynthesis, since ...

The Human SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 Genes of Solute Carrier Family 25 Encode Two Mitochondrial Pyrimidine Nucleotide Transporters [PDF]
The human genome encodes 53 members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), also called the mitochondrial carrier family, many of which have been shown to transport inorganic anions, amino acids, carboxylates, nucleotides, and coenzymes across the inner
