Carbohydrate and energy-yielding metabolism in non-conventional yeasts.

Sugars are excellent carbon sources for all yeasts. Since a vast amount of information is available on the components of the pathways of sugar utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae it has been tacitly assumed that other yeasts use sugars in the same way. However, although the pathways of sugar utilization follow the same theme in all yeasts, important biochemical and genetic variations on it ...

Publishing structural genomics results: the JCSG Special Issue

In the last decade we have witnessed the advent of structural genomics initiatives around the world. While traditional hypothesis-driven research continues to produce a wealth of new macromolecular structures, the contribution of structural genomics structures to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has become ever more important. For example, the USA-based Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) alone has d...
