L-xylulose proved to be the most suitable for study because NADP*-xylitol dehydrogenase provides the basis for a specific enzymatic assay. 11 A preliminary study, previously reported, ...

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXPS) is a key-limiting enzyme in the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. With only two commercially available herbicides targeting DXPS, there is still ...

This enzyme is classified under the EC 5.3.1.5 enzyme code and belongs to the group of isomerases, which catalyze structural rearrangements within a molecule. Interestingly, glucose isomerase is also ...

Notably, the effect was XuBP-specific and could not be induced by non- or mono-phosphorylated xylulose or the tight-binding active site inhibitor CABP, which likely stays bound and inhibits catalysis ...

ABSTRACT: Fucoxanthin, a compound with anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity properties, can be produced in Isochrysis zhanjiangensis, a mcroalga. A key rate-limiting enzyme in MEP ...

Cancer cells depend on deregulated metabolic programs to meet energetic and biosynthetic demands (Pavlova and Thompson, 2016; Vander Heiden and DeBerardinis, 2017; Martínez-Reyes and Chandel, ...

The heart is an omnivore, consuming fuel constantly and using any substrate available. 8 The high rates of ATP production and turnover are critical in maintaining cardiac contractility to deliver ...

BackgroundThe healthy heart has a dynamic capacity to respond and adapt to changes in nutrient availability. Diabetes mellitus disrupts this metabolic flexibility and promotes cardiomyopathy through ...

Identification of class 2 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase genes from Ginkgo biloba and their transcription in embryo culture with respect to ...
