DNA topoisomerase: the key enzyme that regulates DNA super structure.
DNA is a macromolecule carrying all genetic information and it must be packed in the cell nucleus. DNA is a double helix where one strand coils around the other. The helix is unwound and rewound every now and then to take out its information, which requires local alteration of the helical structure, resulting in the super-coiling of DNA. For replication, all the coils must be unwound at least o...
متن کاملPotassium affects actigraph-identified sleep.
The present study examines the effects of potassium supplementation on sleep quality and phase, as indirectly inferred from wrist actigraphy and sleep logs, in normal young males on a low-potassium diet. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, counterbalanced crossover design compared 1 wk of oral potassium chloride supplements (96 meq/day) to 1 wk of identical placebo capsules. Outcome...

متن کاملPhosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Identified as a Key Enzyme in Erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum Carbon Metabolism
Phospoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is absent from humans but encoded in the Plasmodium falciparum genome, suggesting that PEPC has a parasite-specific function. To investigate its importance in P. falciparum, we generated a pepc null mutant (D10(Δpepc) ), which was only achievable when malate, a reduction product of oxaloacetate, was added to the growth medium. D10(Δpepc) had a severe growth...
