Steroidogenic electron-transfer factors and their diseases [PDF]
Most steroidogenesis disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding the steroidogenic enzymes, but work in the past 20 years has identified related disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding the cofactors that transport electrons from NADPH

EFFECT OF AERATED IRRIGATION ON SOIL MICROENVIRONMENT AND COTTON GROWTH PROMOTION [PDF]
Clay soil results in higher crop yield and quality than sandy soil. However, irrigation causes clay soil to slump easily, increasing compactness and decreasing soil oxygen content.

Cloning and Phylogenetic Relationships Analysis of an Oxidoreductase Gene in Product Pathway of Ethylene Hormone [PDF]
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO) enzyme is a member of the Fe (II-dependent family of oxidases/ oxygenases) and for activity requires Fe2+ as cofactors and ascorbate as a co-substrate.

Anti-Inflammatory Property Establishment of Fulvic Acid Transdermal Patch in Animal Model
The formulation of the transdermal patch with fulvic acid (FA) on an emulsion basis using pluronic Kolliphor® p237 as a permeability enhancer was developed and studied for anti-inflammatory properties. FA was isolated from the peat in the Nizhny Novgorod

Local frustration determines loop opening during the catalytic cycle of an oxidoreductase
Local structural frustration, the existence of mutually exclusive competing interactions, may explain why some proteins are dynamic while others are rigid. Frustration is thought to underpin biomolecular recognition and the flexibility of protein-binding

Protein disulfide isomerase a multifunctional protein with multiple physiological roles
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), is a member of the thioredoxin superfamily of redox proteins. PDI has three catalytic activities including, thiol-disulfide oxireductase, disulfide isomerase and redox-dependent chaperone.

We have identified a retinol dehydrogenase (cRDH) that catalyzes the oxidation of 9-cis- but not all-trans-retinol and proposed that this enzyme plays an important role in synthesis of the transcriptionally active retinoid, 9-cis-retinoic acid.
