Lin28A induces energetic switching to glycolytic metabolism in human embryonic kidney cells [PDF]
Background: Loss of a cell’s capacity to generate sufficient energy for cellular functions is a key hallmark of the ageing process and ultimately leads to a variety of important age-related pathologies such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease and ...

The Essentiality of Amino Acids in Healthiness and Disease State: Type II Diabetes as a Case Study
This review investigates the functions of amino acids in normal physiological states, their potential as a diagnostic biomarker, the probable risk of deficiency, and the therapeutic ability for managing and preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus. ABSTRACT A healthy life depends on the availability and the synthesis of amino acids as they are building ...

Characterization of Nuclear Magnetism at Ultralow and Zero Field using SQUIDs [PDF]
Nuclear magnetism underpins areas such as medicine in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hyperpolarization of nuclei enhances the quantity and quality of information that can be determined from these techniques by increasing their signal to noise ratios by orders of magnitude. However, some of these hyperpolarization techniques rely on the use of low to

Evolutionary analysis of the TPP-dependent enzyme family [PDF]
The evolutionary relationships of the thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent family of enzymes was investigated by generation of a neighbor joining phylogenetic tree using sequences from the conserved pyrophosphate (PP) and pyrimidine (Pyr) binding ...

Gold(I)-catalysed synthesis of a furan analogue of thiamine pyrophosphate. [PDF]
An analogue of thiamine having a furan ring in place of the thiazolium ring has been synthesised by a short and efficient route, involving gold(I)-catalysed cyclisation of an alkynyl alcohol to form the furan ring.

Post-translational modifications of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cardiovascular disease
Summary: Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a crucial enzyme that connects glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle pathway. It plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism for energy production by catalyzing the oxidative ...

During brain activation triggered by sensory stimulation, mental activity, or physical work, nonoxidative metabolism of glucose (CMRglc‐non‐ox, where subscripts ‐n and ‐a denote the rate in neurons and astrocytes, respectively) and glycogen are disproportionately upregulated compared with the cellular rates of oxidative metabolism of glucose (CMRglc‐ox)

The ChnagG gene in Cochliobolus heterostrophus encodes 5‐salicylate hydroxylase, converting salicylic acid (SA) to gentisic acid, enhancing pathogenicity and suppressing plant SA signalling‐mediated defences during infection. ABSTRACT Salicylic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in the defence strategies of plants against fungal pathogens.

Summary Photorespiration is a mandatory metabolic repair shunt of carbon fixation by the Calvin–Benson cycle in oxygenic phototrophs. Its extent depends mainly on the CO2 : O2 ratio in chloroplasts, which is regulated via stomatal movements. Despite a comprehensive understanding of the role of photorespiration in mesophyll cells, its role in guard ...

We present evidence which demonstrates that L-cycloserine, structural analog of L-alanine, which is known to be an effective aminotransferase inhibitor, is also a potent inhibitor of cellular pyruvate metabolism. This effect was found to be related to its almost instantaneous action in decreasing pyruvate concentrations in a dose-dependent manner.
