Recruitment of co-metabolic enzymes for environmental detoxification of organohalides.
Polyhalogenated compounds are often environmentally persistent and toxic to mammals. Microorganisms that metabolize these compounds can detoxify contaminated environments. Different biochemical mechanisms are used to metabolize polyhalogenated compounds, but few naturally occurring bacteria have this capability. A recombinant bacterium was constructed to metabolize polyhalogenated compounds to ...
متن کاملImplications of Thresholds in Discrete Choice Modelling
Individual choices are affected by complex factors and the challenge consists of how to incorporate these factors in order to improve the realism of the modelling work. The presence of limits, cut-offs or thresholds in the perception and appraisal of both attributes and alternatives is part of the complexity inherent to choice-making behaviour. The paper considers the existence of thresholds in...
متن کاملImplications of ignorance for quantum-error-correction thresholds
Quantum error-correcting codes have a distance parameter, conveying the minimum number of single spin errors that could cause error correction to fail. However, the success thresholds of the finite per-qubit error rate that have been proven for the likes of the toric code require them to work well beyond this limit. We argue that, without the assumption of being below the distance limit, the su...
متن کاملMutagenicity of quinones: pathways of metabolic activation and detoxification.
The mutagenicity of various quinones, a class of compounds widely distributed in nature, is demonstrated in the Salmonella TA104 tester strain. The metabolic pathways by which four quinones, menadione, benzo[a]pyrene 3,6-quinone, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, and danthron, caused mutagenicity in this test system were investigated in detail as were the detoxification pathways. The two-electron reduc...
متن کاملThe thermoneutral zone: implications for metabolic studies.
A thermoneutral environment is important for many human physiological studies. The thermoneutral zone (TNZ) is defined as the range of ambient temperatures without regulatory changes in metabolic heat production or evaporative heat loss. Many factors influence the thermoneutral zone, such as body composition, clothing, energy expenditure, age and gender. These factors have the potential to intr...
