aAn Enzymatic Biofuel Cell is a specific type of fuel cell which uses biocatalysts to convert energy stored within chemicals into electrical energy. Enzymes are used to catalytically oxidise the fuel at the anode and reduce the ensuing oxidant at the cathode. The specificity of the enzyme reactions...
Elevated levels of ALT in the blood are a sign of hepatocellular injury, or liver cell injury. When liver cells are injured, ALT effectively “leaks” out of those cells, causing it to appear in higher concentrations in the blood panels. ALT is thus known as a leakage enzyme. It is ...
anti- Adenylosuccinate lyase antibody*类型 polyclonalADSL(adenylosuccinate lyase) is also named as AMPS, ASase, ASL and belongs to the lyase 1 family. It is an enzyme involved in 2 pathways of purine nucleotide metabolism and catalyzes cleavage of succinyl groups to yield fumarate(PMID:18524658)....
U.S. researchers said Tuesday that they have identified an enzyme that may play a central role in the development of obesity in mid-life. New research to protect eagles from wind turbines Researchers from Oregon State University (OSU) will work to make eagles less likely to collide with wind...
While a protein fraction with an enoyl-CoA hydratase/lyase activity catalyzing the hydration and non-oxidative cleavage of cinnamoyl-CoA to benzaldehyde (probably through an enzyme-bound 3-enoyl-CoA intermediate) has been characterized from Hypericum androsaemum cell culture25, the corresponding gene ...
(EC: 1.17.1.2), which is an enzyme that acts on CH or CH2groups and is involved in isoprenoid biosynthesis but did not meet the proposed requirements for a bilirubin reductase enzyme20. The other reductase orthogroup was an unannotated enzyme found to be homologous to 2,4-dienoyl-CoA ...
The main objective of this study was to identify the factor(s) responsible for the anti-proliferative (cytostatic) effect observed for a dairy-origin LAB strain, Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis Lc4. Such an effect was noted when applying the Lc4-derived CFS on two CRC cell lines - HCT116 an...
Here, we demonstrate that Plasmodium falciparum imports a host antioxidant enzyme, peroxire- doxin 6 (PRDX6), during hemoglobin uptake from the red blood cell cytosol. PRDX6 is a lipid-peroxidation repair enzyme with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) ...
Decreased NAD+ levels have been shown to contribute to metabolic dysfunction during aging. NAD+ decline can be partially prevented by knockout of the enzyme CD38. However, it is not known how CD38 is regulated during aging, and how its ecto-enzymatic act
Here, we create two mouse strains to test this: an endothelial-specific alpha globin knockout (EC Hba1Δ/Δ) and another with an alpha globin allele mutated to prevent alpha globin’s inhibitory interaction with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (Hba1WT/Δ36–39). The EC Hba1Δ/Δ mice ...
