The structure of the complex between the 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate-independent phosphoglycerate mutase (iPGM) from Bacillus stearothermophilus and its 3-phosphoglycerate substrate has recently been solved, and analysis of this structure allowed formulation of a mechanism for iPGM catalysis. In order to obtain

A glycerate kinase (GK) gene (PH0495) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. The enzyme was likely a homodimer based
A method has been developed for rapid quantification of nine glycolytic intermediates using ultraperformance liquid chromatography/electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-MS/MS) to monitor the metabolism of glucose during microbial fermentation. Because comprehensive chromatographic separation is not required, analysis time is significantly less
Drug treatments for heartworm disease have not changed significantly in the last decade. Due to concerns about possible drug resistance and their lower efficacy against adult worms, there is a need for the development of new antifilarial drug therapies. The
Picrophilus torridus has been shown to degrade glucose via a nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway. Here we report the characterization of a key enzyme of this pathway, glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming). The enzyme was purified 5,100-fold to homogeneity. The 95 kDa
