Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are a widespread family of proteinaceous organelles that consist of metabolic enzymes encapsulated within a protein shell. For MCPs to function specific enzymes must be encapsulated. We recently reported that a short N-terminal targeting sequence of propionaldehyde

A kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions from propanal (PA) and 2,2-dimethylpropanal (DMPA) by the cumyloxyl radical (CumO•) has been carried out in different solvents (benzene, PhCl, MeCN, t-BuOH, MeOH, and TFE). The corresponding reactions of the benzyloxyl

Although the de novo biosynthetic mechanism of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) in glycerol-fermenting microorganisms is still unclear, the propanediol utilization protein (PduP) of Lactobacillus species has been suggested to be a key enzyme in this regard. To verify this hypothesis, a

The pduP gene encodes a propionaldehyde dehydrogenase (PduP) was investigated for the role in 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) glycerol metabolism in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The enzyme assay showed that cell extracts from a pduP mutant strain lacked measurable dehydrogenase activity. Additionally, the

The human aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily consists of at least 19 enzymes that metabolize endogenous and exogenous aldehydes. Currently, there are no commercially available inhibitors that target ALDH1A1 but have little to no effect on the structurally and functionally similar
