In eukaryotes, PUFAs can be de novo synthesized through two independent biosynthetic pathways: the desaturase/elongase pathway and the PUFA synthase pathway. Among them, PUFAs synthesized through the ...

Lysine biosynthesis is a crucial metabolic pathway in many bacteria and plants ... Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) is one of the key enzymes in this pathway, catalyzing the first committed ...

The data are generally solid as the authors deploy multiple, orthogonal readouts and methods for manipulating reactive oxygen species and ATP. The work will be of interest to those studying antibiotic ...

While they may not "look" their age, bacteria feel the passage of time too ... coli, focusing on mutants with non-functional ATP synthases, large protein complexes that allow cells to generate ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — The researchers showed that when curcumin is intentionally given to bacteria as food and then activated by light, it can trigger deleterious reactions within these microbes ...

Bacteria are organisms that consist of a single cell without a nucleus and with distinct structural, physiological and evolutionary characteristics. Bacteria form one of the three domains of life ...

By depleting PTG, an activator of the glycogen chain-elongating enzyme glycogen synthase (GYS1), in laforin- and malin-deficient LD mice ... Malto-oligoglucan metabolism is prominent in bacteria ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other ...

From Bacteria to Humans ... such as ribosomal proteins and ATP synthase. The earliest known microfossils date back to around 3.5 billion years ago. So, we know that life is at least that old.

Tennis world rankings are calculated by the ATP, who award points based on a player's performance at particular tournaments. The further a player progresses in a sanctioned event, the more ...
