Activated carbon

Early metabolic steps, including glycolysis and the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, yield a two-carbon fragment called an acetyl group, which is linked to a large cofactor known as coenzyme A (or CoA). It is during the citric acid cycle that acetyl-CoA is oxidized to the waste product, carbon dioxide, along with the reduction of the cofactors NAD+ and ubiquinone

The catalyst 7.5% NiO/TiO2 and seven samples of NiO/γ-Al2O3 with NiO content from 7.5% to 60% have been obtained and studied. Physico-chemical characteristics of the catalysts were determined by methods of Adsorption (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), TemperatureProgrammed Reduction (TPR) and Hydrogen Pulse Titration. The catalytic properties of the obtained samples were investigated in the reaction of CO methanation at temperatures 180 – 220◦C and mole ratios hydrogen/carbon monoxide 25-100.

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is subjected to multiple interacting levels of control in plant cells. The first level is subcellular compartmentation. Plant cells are unique inhaving twodistinct, spatially separated forms of the PDC; mitochondrial (mtPDC) and plastidial (plPDC). The mtPDCis the site of carbon entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle, while the plPDCprovides acetyl-CoAandNADHfor de novofatty acid biosynthesis.

An efficient bacterial expression system of cyanobacterium Synechocystissp. PCC 6803 heme oxygenase gene, ho-1, has been constructed, using a synthetic gene. A soluble protein was expressedat high levels and was highly purified, for the first time. The protein binds equimolar free hemin to catabolize the boundhemin to ferric-bili-verdin IXa in the presence of oxygen andreducing equivalents, showing the heme oxygenase activity. During the reaction, verdoheme intermediate is formed with the evolution of carbon monoxide. ...

Enterobacter cloacae, isolated from the rhizosphere of cucumbers, produces large amounts of indole-3-acetic acid. Indolepyruvate decarboxylase, the key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of indole-3-acetic acid, catalyses the formation of indole-3-acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide from indole-3-pyruvic acid. The enzyme requires the cofac-tors thiamine diphosphate andmagnesium ions for catalytic activity. Recombinant indolepyruvate decarboxylase was purified from the host Escherichia coli strain JM109....

3-Methyl-branched fatty acids, as phytanic acid, undergo peroxisomala-oxidation in which they are shortened by 1 carbon atom. This process includes four steps: activation, 2-hydroxylation, thiamine pyrophosphate dependent cleavage and aldehyde dehydrogenation. The thiamine pyrophosphate dependence of the third step is unique in peroxisomal mammalian enzymology. Human pathology due to a deficient alpha-oxidation is mostly linked to mutations in the gene coding for the second enzyme of the sequence, phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase....

To assess the expression and physiological role of the mitochondrial NAD + -independent lactate dehydrogenase (iLDH) inEuglena gracilis, cells were grown with different carbon sources, and theD-andL-iLDHactivities and several key metabolic intermediates were examined. iLDH activity was significant throughout the growth period, increasing by three- to fourfold from latency to the stationary phase. Intracellular levels ofD-andL-lactate were high (5–40 mM) fromthe start of the culture and increased (20–80 mM)when the stationaryphasewas entered....

The fermentation ofb-alanine by Clostridium propionicumproceeds via activation to the CoA-thiol ester, followed by deamination to acryloyl-CoA, which is also an intermediate in the fermentation ofl-alanine. By shifting the organism from the carbon and energy source a-alanine to b-alanine, the enzyme b-alanyl-CoA:ammonia lyase is induced 300-fold (30% of the soluble protein). The low basal lyase activity is encoded by theacl1gene, whereas the almost identicalacl2gene (six amino acid substi-tutions) is responsible for the high activity after growth on b-alanine....
