Structures of carboxylic acid reductase reveal domain dynamics underlying catalysis: This study investigates the structural and dynamic aspects of carboxylic acid reductase enzymes, which are relevant for the conversion processes involving (R)-pantetheine and related compounds (Gahloth et al., 2017).

A microsomal glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of pantetheine to pantothenate and cysteamine was solubilized and purified to homogeneity as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. The enzyme from pig kidney cortex was solubilized on exposure to butanol and purified

To study the function of pantetheine in gramicidin S and tyrocidine biosynthesis, pepsin digests of the polymerizing enzymes, of which only the heavy ones contain pantetheine, were analyzed. The digests of gramicidin S enzymes charged with either [(14)C]proline or with

Sympathetic vasoconstriction regulates peripheral circulation and controls blood pressure, but sepsis is associated with hypotension. We evaluated whether apparent loss of sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness relates to distended smooth muscles or to endotoxemia and/or hypoxia. Prospective descriptive study. Hospital research laboratory.
In this study, papermaking sludge-based flocculant (PSBF) and commercial lignin-based flocculant (LBF) have been synthesized by the same graft copolymerization procedures. The structures of alkaline lignin (AL), commercial lignin and the two flocculants were characterized by the modern analytical methods
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex psychiatric disorder with strong genetic and environmental risk factors. We studied the molecular perturbations underlying risky drinking behavior by measuring transcriptome changes across the neurocircuitry of addiction in a genetic mouse model of
