A study on the AMACR catalysed elimination reaction and its application to inhibitor testing [PDF]
α-Methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR; P504S) catalyses a key step in the degradation of branched-chain fatty acids and is important for the pharmacological activation of Ibuprofen and related drugs. Levels of AMACR are increased in prostate and other cancers,

UNVEILING NOVEL ASPECTS OF D-AMINO ACID METABOLISM IN THE MODEL BACTERIUM PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA KT2440 [PDF]
D-amino acids (D-AAs) are the α-carbon enantiomers of L-amino acids (L- AAs), the building blocks of proteins in known organisms. It was largely believed that D-AAs are unnatural and must be toxic to most organisms, as they would compete with the L ...

Strukturelle und biochemische Charakterisierung von PhzF-artigen Isomerasen in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 [PDF]
P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients. Due to its resistance against many classes of antibiotics, adequate treatment of those patients is very difficult.
