Shedding light on ethylene metabolism in higher plants
Ethylene metabolism in higher plants is regulated by a wide array of endogenous and environmental factors. During most physiological processes, ethylene levels are mainly determined by a strict control of the rate-limiting biosynthetic steps responsible for the production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and its subsequent conversion to ethylene. Responsible for these reactions, t...
متن کاملFat Metabolism in Higher Plants
The discovery and isolation of the multienzyme system responsible for p oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA’ have stimulated investigation of the synthesis of long chain fatty acids by multiple @ condensation of the acetyl CoA. In 1953 Van Baalen and Gurin (1) were the first to demonstrate that acetate was incorporated into fatty acids by aqueous extracts of pigeon liver. In 1953 Stansly and...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملDrugBank 4.0: shedding new light on drug metabolism
DrugBank (http://www.drugbank.ca) is a comprehensive online database containing extensive biochemical and pharmacological information about drugs, their mechanisms and their targets. Since it was first described in 2006, DrugBank has rapidly evolved, both in response to user requests and in response to changing trends in drug research and development. Previous versions of DrugBank have been wid...
متن کاملShedding new light on brain metabolism and glial function.
Without a continuous supply of nutrients, the brain dies within a few minutes. Blood flow and glucose uptake are so tightly coupled to neuronal function that techniques which image these processes (e.g. PET) are valuable monitors of neuronal activity. However, in order to understand brain metabolism completely, and to find specific molecular targets for therapeutic intervention, it is also esse...
