Although plant plastidial ω3-desaturases are closely related to microsomal desaturases, heterologous expression in yeast of the Helianthus annuus FAD7 ω3-desaturase showed low activity in contrast to similar expression of microsomal FAD3... more
Eukaryotic cells contain two organelles originally derived from endosymbiotic bacteria: mitochondria and plastids (only plants). In eukaryotes, (owner mitochondria and chloroplast) ATP synthase complex is located in the inner membrane of... more

Creatine kinase (CK) plays a central role in energy homeostasis in cells that display high and variable rates of energy turnover. A number of CK genes exist, each being targeted to particular intracellular compartments. In the... more
Abstract: Poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), a linear polymer of R-3-hydroxybutyrate (R-3HB), is a fundamental constituent of biological cells. Certain prokaryotes accumulate PHB of very high molecular weight (10,000 to>1,000,000... more
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is responsible for causing many clinical complications including the relatively benign streptococcal pharyngitis and impetigo. However, if left untreated, these conditions may lead to more severe diseases such... more
Structural characterization of enzymes that belong to microbial metabolic pathways is very important for structure-based drug design since some of these proteins may be present in the bacterial genome, but absent in humans. Thus,... more
Native horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) peroxidase, HRP (EC 1.11.1.7), isoenzyme C is synthesized with N-terminal and C-terminal peptide extensions, believed to be associated with protein targeting. This study aimed to explore the... more
