Diversity of ThDP‐Dependent Enzymes Forming Chiral Tertiary Alcohols
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.Chiral tertiary alcohols are widespread in nature and bioactive compounds; however, their asymmetric synthesis faces several challenges. This review outlines the toolbox of ThDP‐dependent enzymes able to produce tertiary alcohols through the formation of CC bond formation using ketones as acceptor substrates. Herein, the substrate scope, the diversity

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Citrate Treatment in a Patient with Pyruvate Decarboxylase Deficiency
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1976 A 5-year old boy with intermittent sopor, severe vomiting and ataxia since 2 1/2 years old was described. During attack period the patient showed elevation of blood pyruvate and alanine and also cerebrospinal-fluid pyruvate, whereas during the time free from attack only blood pyruvate was increased.

Reaction Engineering and Comparison of Electroenzymatic and Enzymatic ATP Regeneration Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays a crucial role in many biocatalytic reactions and its regeneration can influence the performance of a related enzymatic reaction significantly. Here, we established an electrochemically coupled ATP regeneration by pyruvate oxidase and acetate kinase (ACK) for the phosphorylation of mevalonate catalyzed by ...

Branched chain aldehydes: production and breakdown pathways and relevance for flavour in foods [PDF]
, 2009 Branched aldehydes, such as 2-methyl propanal and 2- and 3-methyl butanal, are important flavour compounds in many food products, both fermented and non-fermented (heat-treated) products. The production and degradation of these aldehydes from amino acids

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy
Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

Mechanistic and Structural Insight to an Evolved Benzoylformate Decarboxylase with Enhanced Pyruvate Decarboxylase Activity [PDF]
Catalysts, 2016 Benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFDC) and pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) are thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzymes that share some structural and mechanistic similarities. Both enzymes catalyze the nonoxidative decarboxylation of 2-keto acids, yet differ considerably in their substrate specificity. In particular, the BFDC from P.
