Functional Characterization of the Eukaryotic Cysteine Desulfurase Nfs1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that the essential protein Nfs1 performs a crucial role in cellular iron-sulfur (Fe/S) protein maturation. The protein is located predominantly in mitochondria, yet low amounts are present in cytosol and nucleus.

Prenatal Brain Abnormalities in Sodium‐Dependent Multivitamin Transporter Deficiency
ABSTRACT In treatable neurometabolic disorders, early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment are key to improved survival and outcomes. Biallelic variants in SLC5A6 cause sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter deficiency (OMIM # 618973), which is treatable with high‐dose pantothenic acid, biotin, and alpha lipoic acid.

Pyridoxal Reductase, PdxI, Is Critical for Salvage of Pyridoxal in Escherichia coli [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6 and an essential cofactor in all organisms. In Escherichia coli, PLP is synthesized via the deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate (DXP)-dependent pathway that includes seven enzymatic steps and generates pyridoxine 5′-phosphate as an intermediate. Additionally, E.

Update: Enzymatische Synthese für industrielle Anwendungen
Die Biokatalyse hat sich zu einer nachhaltigen und wettbewerbsfähigen Alternative zur herkömmlichen chemischen Synthese entwickelt und ermöglicht die enzymbasierte Herstellung nicht nur von chemischen Grundstoffen, sondern auch von (nicht natürlichen) Aminosäuren, (seltenen) Zuckern und synthetischen Nukleotiden.

Catalytic Activities of Pyridoxal Analogues. I. The Catalytic Effects of Pyridoxal, Pyridoxal Methochloride, and Pyridoxal N-Oxide on the Racemization of
Abstract An improved method for the syntheses of pyridoxal methochloride (1) and pyridoxal N-oxide (5) was investigated. Further, the catalytic activities of pyridoxal, 1, and 5 on the racemization of l-glutamic acid in the presence of cupric ions were studied.

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Aims Daily broad‐spectrum micronutrients are being used by the general public and formulations are receiving research interest in mental health settings. Despite concerns about combining medicines and broad‐spectrum micronutrients in mental health care, there have not been any formal evaluations of potential interactions.

Suicide inhibition of alpha-oxamine synthases:structures of the covalent adducts of 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase with trifluoroalanine [PDF]
The suicide inhibition of the α-oxamine synthases by the substrate analog, L-trifluoroalanine was investigated. The inhibition resulted in the formation of a complex with loss of all three fluorine atoms.
