A New Frontier in Enzymology Emerges from Versatile: in Vitro

The secretory pathway of eucaryotic cells consists of distinct membrane-bound organelles and transport vesicles that collectively function to transport proteins to the cell surface (1). These organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi compartments, lysosomes, secretory granules, and the plasma membrane. While all proteins en route to the cell surface traverse the early organelles ...

Recent Advances in Radical SAM Enzymology: New Structures and Mechanisms

The radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) superfamily of enzymes catalyzes an amazingly diverse variety of reactions ranging from simple hydrogen abstraction to complicated multistep rearrangements and insertions. The reactions they catalyze are important for a broad range of biological functions, including cofactor and natural product biosynthesis, DNA repair, and tRNA modification. Generally con...
