Anapleurosis is the filling of the tricarboxylic acid cycle with four-carbon units. The common substrate for both anapleurosis and glucose phosphorylation in bacteria is the terminal glycolytic ...

The shikimate pathway is fundamental for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine—in plants, bacteria and fungi. This pathway, which is absent in mammals, has ...

The membrane protein complex between the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) and phospholamban (PLN) controls Ca 2+ transport in cardiomyocytes, thereby modulating cardiac contractility.

One of the key features in the evolution of more complex organisms is the emergence of allosteric regulation. Allostery is a process by which a protein’s activity can be modulated by binding an ...

We explore what allosteric modulators are, their benefits and drawbacks, and which candidates are currently advancing through ...

The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...

Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been effectively involved in the deacetylation of proteins. A tandem allosteric effect of reactant and product is responsible for the efficient deacetylation ...

Yale scientists have taken a novel approach to unraveling the complex structure and regulation of enzymes: They Googled it. In a new study published online this week in the Proceedings of the National ...
