Intracellular lipolysis inside adipocytes entails a coordinated catabolism of triacylglycerols from lipid droplets, which are eventually broken down to form one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of unesterified fatty acids, which can be released. This is a sequential process that is performed by...
absolute value. The level of resistance also depends on the degree of susceptibility of the host bacterium. Resistance by a given mechanism will be much higher if the bacterial species is poorly susceptible. For example, the same mechanism will confer toPseudomonas aeruginosa, a species naturally ...
Enzymes are involved in various types of biological processes. In many cases, they are part of multi-component machineries where enzymes are localized in close proximity to each-other. In such situations, it is still not clear whether inter-enzyme spacin

such as immunomodulation12, anti-allergic potential13, and modulation of the gut microbiota14. However, studies on this species at the genomic level are limited; for example, one investigation involved screening the biotechnology potential of 213 strains, but less information was provided for this sp...
Global warming is a major challenge for plant survival and growth. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which higher plants sense and adapt to upsurges in the ambient temperature is essential for developing strategies to enhance plant tolerance to h
Which of the following is an example of an organic compound found in the human body? a) Water b) Protein c) Oxygen d) Carbon Dioxide What are Organic Compounds? An organic compound is a carbon-containing molecule held together by...
The rats received S-methyl cysteine sulphoxide (SMCS; an isolated compound from onion) at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight for 45 days; both the SMCS and the positive control (gugulipid) reduced endogenous lipogenesis and increased the catabolism of lipids and the subsequent excretion of ...
The activation of the thyroid gland during the treatment of rodents with substances that stimulate T4catabolism is a well-known phenomenon. It occurs particularly with rodents because (1) UGT can be induced easily in rodent species, and (2) T4metabolism takes place very rapidly in rats in the...
A pathway for the anaerobic catabolism of L-fucose leading to the formation of 1,2-PD (via non-phosphorylated intermediates) has recently been proposed for B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC1569733, based on sequence homology with enzymes from a fucose-dependent metabolic route previously identified in...
