Rat liver peroxisomes contain three acyl-CoA oxidases:palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, and trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase. The three oxidases were separated by anion-exchange chromatography of a partially purified oxidase preparation, and the column eluate was analyzed for oxidase activity with different acyl-CoAs. Short chain mono (hexanoyl-) and dicarboxylyl (glutaryl-)-CoAs...

conclusions high hvr diversity among the studied mrsa isolates could be a result of insufficient or inadequate infection-control protocols in tabriz hospitals. moreover, the high number of hvr genotypes showed that hvr typing can be used along with other typing methods in epidemiological studies of mrsa as a useful tool for monitoring, tracking contaminations, and controlling infections in hosp...

in this research a molecular method based on polymerase chain reaction for typing of clostridium perfringens was developed and toxin genotypes of 64 isolates from sheep and goats in iran were determined. the pcr assays were developed for detection of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb) and epsilon (etx) toxin genes, allowing classification of the isolates into genotypes a b, c and d. the field isolates ...

Acetoacetyl-CoA is the precursor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA in the mevalonate pathway, which is essential for terpenoid backbone biosynthesis. Acetoacetyl-CoA is also the precursor of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate, a polymer belonging to the polyester class produced by microorganisms. The de novo synthesis of acetoacetyl-CoA is usually catalyzed by acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase via a thioes...

In their seed triacylglycerols, Cuphea carthagenensis contains 62% lauric acid; maize possesses 50% linoleic acid and 30% oleic acid; rapeseed (Brassica napus L. var Dwarf Essex) has 40% erucic acid; and Canola (Brassica napus L. var Tower) holds 60% oleic acid and 23% linoleic acid. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) in the microsomal preparations from maturing seeds of the above spe...

The enoyl reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtInhA) was shown to be a major target for isoniazid, the most prescribed first-line anti-tuberculosis agent. MtInhA (EC 1.3.1.9) protein catalyzes hydride transfer 4S hydrogen of β-NADH carbon-3 long-chain 2-trans-enoyl thioester substrates (enoyl-ACP or enoyl-CoA) yield NAD+ and acyl-ACP acyl-CoA products. latter are long carbon chains mero...

La aorta es la arteria más grande y de mayor importancia del cuerpo humano, encargada llevar sangre rica en oxigeno desde el corazón a todas las demás zonas organismo. Cuando ocurre un estrechamiento esta arteria, se produce lo que llaman coartación aortica, ésto hace tenga bombear con fuerza para poder impulsar través aorta. Es tipo afección congénito detecta edad adulta presenta conducto arte...

Abstract. Keyboard-typing tracking offers a convenient behavioral data collection method in web-based study settings. This paper investigated the feasibility of utilizing keyboard-typing for stress measurement. We present from two experiments: laboratory with N = 53 participants and an online 924 participants. In both studies, typed standardized text sequences during high-stress or low-stress c...

coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in adults. the association between acute coronary syndrom (acs) and elevated serum high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) suggests that chronic inflammation of the coronary arterial wall may play an important role. a number of drugs used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease reduce serum crp. it* is therefore possible...

Chain elongation and cyclization of precursors of dihydroxyphenylacetyl-CoA (DPA-CoA) catalyzed by the bacterial type III polyketide synthase DpgA were studied. Two labile intermediates, di- and tri-ketidyl-CoA (DK- and TK-CoA), were proposed and chemically synthesized. In the presence of DpgABD, each of these with [(13)C(3)]malonyl-CoA (MA-CoA) was able to form partially (13)C-enriched DPA-CoA...
