The in vitro effect of 5-FU and Tamoxifen Chemotherapeutics on penthose phosphate pathway enzymes
Cumhuriyet Science Journal, 2021 The pentose phosphate pathway is the metabolic pathway where NADPH, the reducing force in metabolism, and ribose 5-phosphate, the building block of DNA and RNA, are produced.

Origins of a cyanobacterial 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in plastid-lacking eukaryotes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background Plastids have inherited their own genomes from a single cyanobacterial ancestor, but the majority of cyanobacterial genes, once retained in the ancestral plastid genome, have been lost or transferred into the eukaryotic host nuclear genome via
