Many enzymes require cofactors such as nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD +) or nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP +) to shuttle electrons between reactions. Artificial redox ...
The E2F1 transcription factor is a critical downstream target of the tumor suppressor RB. When activated, E2F1 induces cell proliferation. In addition, E2F1 can induce apoptosis via both p53-dependent ...
In living organisms, there are many chemical reactions taking place. These reactions have many different functions, including breaking down the food we eat and getting energy from the broken down food ...
Cytoplasmic dynein mediates retrograde transport in axons, but it is unknown how its transport characteristics are regulated to meet acutely changing demands. We find that stimulus-induced retrograde ...
In the past decade, advances in synthetic biology paved the way toward the sustainable synthesis of complex natural products. The baking yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used in food ...
