The History of mARC

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
The mitochondrial amidoxime-reducing component (mARC) is the most recently discovered molybdoenzyme in humans after sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase. Here, the timeline of mARC’s discovery is briefly described. The story begins with

Single Mutations in Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase Can Alter the Specificity of Human Cytochrome P450 1A2-Mediated Caffeine Metabolism

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
A unique cytochrome P450 (CYP) oxidoreductase (CPR) sustains activities of human microsomal CYPs. Its function requires toggling between a closed conformation enabling electron transfers from NADPH to FAD and then FMN cofactors and open conformations ...

Phytophthora capsici sterol reductase PcDHCR7 has a role in mycelium development and pathogenicity

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2022
The de novo biosynthesis of sterols is critical for the majority of eukaryotes; however, some organisms lack this pathway, including most oomycetes. Phytophthora spp.

Production of Long Chain Fatty Alcohols Found in Bumblebee Pheromones by Yarrowia lipolytica

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Fatty alcohols (FA-OH) are aliphatic unbranched primary alcohols with a chain of four or more carbon atoms. Besides potential industrial applications, fatty alcohols have important biological functions as well. In nature, fatty alcohols are produced as a

Chromium bioremediation by Alcaligenes sp. strain newly isolated from chromite mine of Sabzevar [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Environmental Health Research, 2017
In this work, CKCr-6A strain was found to be highly resistant to some toxic heavy metals such as Cr+6, Cr+3, Cu+2, Co+2, Cd+2, Pb+2, Hg+2, U+6, tellurium, and selenite. Herein, high chromate tolerance of an isolated strain is reported with a high minimum

RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASES [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 1998
Ribonucleotide reductases provide the building blocks for DNA replication in all living cells. Three different classes of enzymes use protein free radicals to activate the substrate. Aerobic class I enzymes generate a tyrosyl radical with an iron-oxygen center and dioxygen, class II enzymes employ adenosylcobalamin, and the anaerobic class III enzymes

Turning on Light Emission of a Dark Pro‐Aggregation‐Induced Emission Luminogen in Aqueous Media Through Reductase‐Modulated Derotation

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, 2021
The development of dark pro‐aggregation‐induced‐emission luminogens (pro‐AIEgens) based on the solid‐state intramolecular motion–caused quenching effect has been rarely reported in biochemical analysis.

Identifying structural and dynamic changes during the Biliverdin Reductase B catalytic cycle

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Biliverdin Reductase B (BLVRB) is an NADPH-dependent reductase that catalyzes the reduction of multiple substrates and is therefore considered a critical cellular redox regulator.
