Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) were identified and purified from the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant, Kalanchoë daigremontiana. FBPase and ...

Under feeding conditions, dietary carbohydrates are digested and processed by various glucosidases in the digestive tract, and the resultant monosaccharides, mainly hexose glucose, are transported ...

New images of an enzyme in action as it interacts with the chromosome could provide important insight into how cells--including cancer cells--regulate their genes. The enzyme, LSD1, can "turn off" ...

For the second time in less than a year, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have purified a novel protein and have shown it can alter gene activity by reversing a molecular ...

Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses, plays a central role in the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These diseases, ...

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...

Actin cytoskeleton is essential for eukaryotic cells. To exert its countless cellular functions, actin undergoes dynamic remodeling orchestrated by the large number of actin-interacting factors.

Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have purified a novel protein and have shown it can alter gene activity by reversing a molecular modification previously thought permanent ...
