Production of a biodegradable plastic polymer, poly-[beta]-hydroxybutyrate, in transgenic alfalfa. (Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics) By the late 1980s, most scientists thought acetyl-CoA came from the enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS). Iowa State traces plant oil's roots Cole and Khalil made...
Under normal conditions, the Bf-FAD of EtfAB is expected to have extremely crossed half-potentials, meaning again that the semiquinone of this cofactor cannot accumulate to any significant degree in the course of reductive titrations. While reductive titrations of the M. elsdenii EtfAB depleted ...

The Tulsi has been used as a source of medicinal preparations since ages, mentioned in various ancient literatures such as Charak Samhita, Rigveda etc. In Sanskrit the meaning of Tulsi is “one that is incomparable”. It is classified as a “Rasayana,” the herb which improves the health....
Isovaleric acid (iC5) is a very poor substrate for MbcS meaning that the precursor to iso odd-chain fatty acids (iC5-CoA) is not produced in significant quantities from extracellular iC5.BCFA, branched-chain fatty acids; Bkd, branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase; MbcS, methylbutyryl-CoA ...
It should be underlined that, under anaerobic conditions, both Pox and Acs activities were high (Table 4), meaning that i) Pta-Ack is not the sole acetate-producing pathway in E. coli and ii) the co-expression of Pox and Acs pathways could lead to an acetate-consuming cycle with lower...
It should also be noted that both HaloMS as well as HaloMCL can act as malyl-CoA thioesterases, meaning that they are able to use malyl-CoA as substrate, in contrast to the canonical malate synthases [35, 38]. Moreover, both haloarchaeal enzymes also release malyl-CoA as the product ...
The Claisen condensation –strictly the condensation of two esters with the concomitant release of one of the constituent alcohol moieties – is arguably the most important carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction in biology, as it is used in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, polyketides, and a large...
Protein having an enzymatic activity equivalent to that of the CCRs present in plants, and more particularly the CCRs represented by SEQ ID NO 2 and SEQ ID NO 4, is understood as meaning any protein which possesses a CCR activity as measured by the method of Luderitz and Grisebach published...
The term “to inhibit” includes its generally accepted meaning that includes “to restrict,”“to alleviate,”“to improve,” and “to slow,”“to deter or to invert the progression, severity or a resulting symptom.” As used herein, the term “therapy”, such as in “drug therapy” or...
