Carbon allocation and carbon isotope fluxes in the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum: a review [PDF]
The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades, however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated within plants and to the soil, stored within ecosystems and lost to ...

Sugars as the Optimal Biosynthetic Carbon Substrate of Aqueous Life throughout the Universe [PDF]
Our previous analysis of the energetics of metabolism showed that both the biosynthesis of amino acids and lipids from sugars, and the fermentation of organic substrates, were energetically driven by electron transfer reactions resulting in carbon redox ...

Computational exploration of the chemical structure space of possible reverse tricarboxylic acid cycle constituents [PDF]
The reverse tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle has been explored from various standpoints as an idealized primordial metabolic cycle. Its simplicity and apparent ubiquity in diverse organisms across the tree of life have been used to argue for its antiquity

A role for trypanosomatid aldo-keto reductases in methylglyoxal, prostaglandin and isoprostane metabolism [PDF]
Trypanosomatid parasites are the infectious agents causing Chagas’ disease, visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis and human African trypanosomiasis. Recent work of others has implicated an aldo-keto reductase (AKR) in susceptibility and resistance of ...

Cereal non-starch polysaccharides in pig diets [PDF]
This thesis is based on three different studies comprising the weaning and the growing period, aiming at monitoring the influence of cereal non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and dietary enzyme supplementation on gastro-intestinal processes in pigs.
