Background Tumor cells need large energy and nucleic acids to proliferate and grow. For most of their energy needs, cancer cells depend more on glycolysis. For most of their nucleic acids needs, cancer cells depend more on the nonoxidative pathway of the

Overexpression of Plastid Transketolase in Tobacco Results in a Thiamine Auxotrophic Phenotype [PDF]
To investigate the effect of increased plastid transketolase on photosynthetic capacity and growth, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with increased levels of transketolase protein were produced.

Structure and function of the transketolase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and comparison with the human enzyme [PDF]
The transketolase (TKT) enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a novel drug target for tuberculosis treatment and has low homology with the orthologous human enzyme.

Cloning, expression and characterization of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) transketolase [PDF]
Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) composed of two functionally-connected phases, the oxidative and non-oxidative phase. Both phases catalysed by a series of enzymes.

Structure-Based Discovery and Synthesis of Potential Transketolase Inhibitors
Transketolase (TKL) plays a key role in plant photosynthesis and has been predicted to be a potent herbicide target. Homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulation were used to construct a target protein model.
