We have used active-site targeted directed evolution by saturation mutagenesis to improve the activity of E. coli transketolase towards non-phosphorylated substrates. Residues were selected for each set based on either structural proximity to substrate, or on phylogenetic variation. Each library

Glyoxylate and hydroxypyruvate are metabolites involved in the pathway of carbon in photorespiration. The chief glyoxylate-reducing enzyme in leaves is now known to be a cytosolic glyoxylate reductase that uses NADPH as the preferred cofactor but can also use NADH.

Hydroxypyruvate (HP) is an intermediate of the photorespiratory pathway that originates in the oxygenase activity of the key enzyme of photosynthetic CO(2) assimilation, Rubisco. In course of this high-throughput pathway, a peroxisomal transamination reaction converts serine to HP, most of

In order to gain a first insight into the alternative oxidase (AO) function in durum wheat mitochondria (DWM), we investigated some activation pathways of this enzyme in DWM purified from both etiolated shoots and green leaves. AO was activated when

Previously, we showed that dietary fructose or its carbonyl metabolites, glyceraldehyde and glycolaldehyde, could be oxidized by inflammatory reactive oxygen species (ROS), products of immune cells, to form highly toxic and genotoxic products, such as glyoxal.
