Biosynthesis of the modified tetrapyrroles—the pigments of life

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Modified tetrapyrroles are large macrocyclic compounds, consisting of diverse conjugation and metal chelation systems and imparting an array of colors to the biological structures that contain them.

A new channel for excitonic transport in the FMO complex [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
We expose a new excitation transport channel in FMO, consisting of the 7 intramonomeric pigments and their 2nd nearest intermonomeric counterpart. Such a channel outcompetes the standard alternative, where intramonomeric pigments partner with their closest intermonomeric pigment.

Malaria pigment crystals as magnetic micro-rotors: key for high-sensitivity diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesSCIENTIFIC REPORTS 3, 1431 (2013), 2012
The need to develop new methods for the high-sensitivity diagnosis of malaria has initiated a global activity in medical and interdisciplinary sciences. Most of the diverse variety of emerging techniques are based on research-grade instruments, sophisticated reagent-based assays or rely on expertise.

Melanins: Skin Pigments and Much More—Types, Structural Models, Biological Functions, and Formation Routes

open access: yes, 2014
This review presents a general view of all types of melanin in all types of organisms. Melanin is frequently considered just an animal cutaneous pigment and is treated separately from similar fungal or bacterial pigments.

β-Ionone: Its Occurrence and Biological Function and Metabolic Engineering

open access: yesPlants, 2021
β-Ionone is a natural plant volatile compound, and it is the 9,10 and 9′,10′ cleavage product of β-carotene by the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. β-Ionone is widely distributed in flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Stochastic variation in the FOXM1 transcription program mediates replication stress tolerance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cellular heterogeneity is a major cause of drug resistance in cancer. Segeren et al. used single‐cell transcriptomics to investigate gene expression events that correlate with sensitivity to the DNA‐damaging drugs gemcitabine and prexasertib. They show that dampened expression of transcription factor FOXM1 and its target genes protected cells against ...
