Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 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.

Local frustration determines loop opening during the catalytic cycle of an oxidoreductase
eLife, 2020 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

Deciphering the Role of Selenoprotein M
Antioxidants, 2023 Selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid, is structurally similar to cysteine but with a sulfur to selenium replacement. This single change retains many of the chemical properties of cysteine but often with enhanced catalytic and redox activity ...

Electron Transport Chain Is Biochemically Linked to Pilus Assembly Required for Polymicrobial Interactions and Biofilm Formation in the Gram-Positive Actinobacterium Actinomyces oris. [PDF]
, 2017 The Gram-positive actinobacteria Actinomyces spp. are key colonizers in the development of oral biofilms due to the inherent ability of Actinomyces to adhere to receptor polysaccharides on the surface of oral streptococci and host cells.

Inhibition of TXNRD or SOD1 overcomes NRF2-mediated resistance to β-lapachone [PDF]
, 2020 Alterations in the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway result in the constitutive activation of NRF2, leading to the aberrant induction of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes, including NQO1.
