Book Alpha Keto Acid Dehydrogenase Complexes

Download or read book Alpha Keto Acid Dehydrogenase Complexes written by M.S. Patel and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Found in all organisms, the alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes have central roles in cellular metabolism and are major sites of regulation. The understanding of the organization, function and regulation of these quintessential multienzyme complexes has been greatly advanced by studies employing molecular biology and biophysical techniques. Although these enzyme systems have some features in common, their diversity in fulfilling unique organism - or tissue - specific roles is truly amazing. These systems have medical importance in areas ranging from defects in regulation (linked to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, nutrition defects), to inherited diseases (inborn errors, maple syrup urine disease) to acquired immune diseases (primary biliary cirrhosis). This book brings together wide-ranging recent findings on the structure(function relationships, gene regulation, and genetic defects of the alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes, namely the pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes. A wide variety of experimental approaches together with new results presented in this book should serve as a resource for beginning to established investigators in the field as well as scientists who are interested in mitochondria, dehydrogenases, kinases, phosphatases, lipoic acid, thiamine pyrophosphate, and enzyme complexes.

Book Vitamin dependent Multienzyme Complexes of 2 oxo Acid Dehydrogenases

Download or read book Vitamin dependent Multienzyme Complexes of 2 oxo Acid Dehydrogenases written by Victoria Bunik and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes current data on the architecture, structure-function relationships, reaction mechanisms and active site coupling in multienzyme complexes of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenases. Special focus concerns the mechanisms of function and regulation of a multienzyme structure, additional to those inherent in its component enzymes. The overall physiological process of 2-oxo acid oxidative decarboxylation and the substrate specificity determinants are considered along with side reactions of regulatory significance, such as non-oxidative reactions, formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and complex-bound thiyl radicals. The significance of the chemical interplay between the complex-bound dihydrolipoate intermediate, thioredoxin or thioredoxin-like proteins, and peroxiredoxins for sensing metabolic state and adjusting the catalysis accordingly, is considered. Other mechanisms involved in the short- and long-term regulation of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes are summarized in view of their relevance to physiological functions. Metabolic regulation by natural effectors of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes and their synthetic analogues is considered. The medical implications of enzymological knowledge on the complexes are also presented.

Book Evolution of Metabolic Pathways

Download or read book Evolution of Metabolic Pathways written by R. Ibrahim and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-09-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen major advances in the cloning of genes encoding enzymes of plant secondary metabolism. This has been further enhanced by the recent project on the sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome. These developments provide the molecular genetic basis to address the question of the Evolution of Metabolic Pathways. This volume provides in-depth reviews of our current knowledge on the evolutionary origin of plant secondary metabolites and the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis. The chapters cover five major topics: 1. Role of secondary metabolites in evolution; 2. Evolutionary origins of polyketides and terpenes; 3. Roles of oxidative reactions in the evolution of secondary metabolism; 4. Evolutionary origin of substitution reactions: acylation, glycosylation and methylation; and 5. Biochemistry and molecular biology of brassinosteroids.

Book ENZYMES  Catalysis  Kinetics and Mechanisms

Download or read book ENZYMES Catalysis Kinetics and Mechanisms written by N.S. Punekar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-11 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enzymology textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students covers the syllabi of most universities where this subject is regularly taught. It focuses on the synchrony between the two broad mechanistic facets of enzymology: the chemical and the kinetic, and also highlights the synergy between enzyme structure and mechanism. Designed for self-study, it explains how to plan enzyme experiments and subsequently analyze the data collected. The book is divided into five major sections: 1] Introduction to enzymes, 2] Practical aspects, 3] Kinetic Mechanisms, 4] Chemical Mechanisms, and 5] Enzymology Frontiers. Individual concepts are treated as stand-alone chapters; readers can explore any single concept with minimal cross-referencing to the rest of the book. Further, complex approaches requiring specialized techniques and involved experimentation (beyond the reach of an average laboratory) are covered in theory with suitable references to guide readers. The book provides students, researchers and academics in the broad area of biology with a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of enzymes. It also caters to those who do not have a practicing enzymologist to teach them the subject.
