Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 Natural rubber (NR), poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), is used in an industrial scale for more than 100 years. Most of the NR-derived materials are released to the environment as waste or by abrasion of small particles from our tires. Furthermore, compounds with isoprene units in their molecular structures are part of many biomolecules such as terpenoids and ...

Formation of 1-octen-3-ol from Aspergillus flavus conidia is accelerated after disruption of cells independently of Ppo oxygenases, and is not a main cause of inhibition of germination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Eight-carbon (C8) volatiles, such as 1-octen-3-ol, are ubiquitous among fungi. They are the volatiles critical for aroma and flavor of fungi, and assumed to be signals controlling germination of several fungi.

Heme Oxygenase-Like Metalloenzymes. [PDF]
Annu Rev BiochemHeme oxygenase (HO)-like metalloenzymes are an emerging protein superfamily diverse in reaction outcome and mechanism. Found primarily in bacterial biosynthetic pathways, members conserve a flexible protein scaffold shared with the heme catabolic enzyme, HO, and a set of metal-binding residues.

Eicosanoids in inflammation in the blood and the vessel
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids in cells. PUFAs regulate cellular function through the formation of derived lipid mediators termed eicosanoids.
