Correction: Biosynthesis of Firefly Luciferin in Adult Lantern: Decarboxylation of L-Cysteine is a Key Step for Benzothiazole Ring Formation in Firefly Luciferin Synthesis
Background: Bioluminescence in fireflies and click beetles is produced by a luciferase-luciferin reaction. The luminescence property and protein structure of firefly luciferase have been investigated, and its cDNA has been used for various assay systems. The chemical structure of firefly luciferin was identified as the D-form in 1963 and studies on the biosynthesis of firefly luciferin began ea...

متن کاملRecovering NTRU Secret Key from Inversion Oracles
We consider the NTRU encryption scheme as lately suggested for use, and study the connection between inverting the NTRU primitive (i.e., the one-way function over the message and the blinding information which underlies the NTRU scheme) and recovering the NTRU secret key (universal breaking). We model the inverting algorithms as black-box oracles and do not take any advantage of the internal wa...
متن کاملMacromolecule biosynthesis: a key function of sleep.
The function(s) of sleep remains a major unanswered question in biology. We assessed changes in gene expression in the mouse cerebral cortex and hypothalamus following different durations of sleep and periods of sleep deprivation. There were significant differences in gene expression between behavioral states; we identified 3,988 genes in the cerebral cortex and 823 genes in the hypothalamus wi...
متن کاملStereoisomeric selectivity of human deoxyribonucleoside kinases.
Deoxynucleoside kinases catalyze the 5'-phosphorylation of 2'-deoxyribonucleosides with nucleoside triphosphates as phosphate donors. One of the cellular kinases, deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), has been shown to phosphorylate several L-nucleosides that are efficient antiviral agents. In this study we investigated the potentials of stereoisomers of the natural deoxyribonucleoside to serve as substr...
