Biochemical properties of the pyruvate kinases (PK) isolated from body-wall tissue of Tubifex tubifex (Oligochaeta) and from larvae of the tenebrionid beetle Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera) have been ...
Leucoplast pyruvate kinase ($\text{PK}_{\text{p}}$; EC 2.7.1.40) from endosperm of developing castor oil seeds (Ricinus communis L. cv Baker 296) appears to be highly susceptible to limited ...
image: Enzyme cycling is a sensitive assay method that exploits amplification techniques. We recently developed a novel enzymatic cycling method, which utilizes both the forward and reverse reactions ...
BIZARRE morphologic abnormalities of the erythrocytes are generally not considered a prominent feature of congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemias. 1,2 We have observed a child with a severe ...
Pyruvate kinase is an enzyme involved in energy-supplying glycolysis and ATP synthesis, thus is pivotal for the eucaryotic energy metabolism. In addition, overexpression of pyruvate kinase is believed ...
Pyruvate is produced by glycolysis, a process in which carbohydrates are broken down to create energy. Calcium pyruvate is a popular supplement that many people use primarily for its purported weight ...
The results of the glycerol kinase studies are somewhat surprising in light of good evidence from several laboratories that mitochondrial metabolism of glucose generates important signals for insulin ...
Few building blocks in cellular metabolism are as central and versatile as acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). As a product of many CO 2 fixation pathways, its utilization in the cell determines how much ...
The breakdown reactions that occur are catalysed by specific enzymes. If these enzymes are not present or functional then the reactions will not occur, so the breakdown of glucose is controlled by ...
