Crystallographic Studies of d-Xylose Isomerase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974 In order to emphasize the similarity of the unit cell and of the diffraction patterns, this convention is only followed for Form B. The estimated error in unit cell measurements is 0.05 A for Form A crystals and 0.15 A for Form B crystals. The determined densities were reproducible within 0.02 g per cc.

AMB Express, 2018 The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays an important role in the synthesis of ribonucleotides and aromatic amino acids. During bioethanol production from cellulosic biomass composed mainly of d-glucose and d-xylose, the PPP is also involved in xylose ...

Anomeric specificity of D-xylose isomerase
Biochemistry, 1992 Crystal structures of complexes of D-xylose isomerase with deoxysugars have been determined. Deoxynojirimycin is a structural analogue of alpha-pyranose and mimics the binding of these aldose substrates. The structure of this complex supports the hypothesis that an imidazole group catalyzes ring opening of the pyranose.

Reconstruction of xylose utilization pathway and regulons in Firmicutes
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Many Firmicutes bacteria, including solvent-producing clostridia such as Clostridium acetobutylicum, are able to utilize xylose, an abundant carbon source in nature.

d-xylose accelerated death of pentose metabolizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Rapid and effective consumption of d-xylose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is essential for cost-efficient cellulosic bioethanol production. Hence, heterologous d-xylose metabolic pathways have been introduced into S. cerevisiae.

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1610-1627, September 2026.ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Immobilized Trienzymatic System with Enhanced Stabilization for the Biotransformation of Lactose
Molecules, 2017 The use of ketohexose isomerases is a powerful tool in lactose whey processing, but these enzymes can be very sensitive and expensive. Development of immobilized/stabilized biocatalysts could be a further option to improve the process.
