Tetx2-A Tetracycline Inactivating Enzyme See

Resistance to the tetracycline antibiotics occurs primarily by efflux and ribosome protection mechanisms, however a tetracycline inactivating enzyme, TetX, was identified 15 years ago, although little is known about this mechanism. The g...

A Comparative Study of the Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Breakdowns of the Tetrahedral Intermediate of the MurA Reaction See

The mechanism of the non-enzymatic breakdown of the tetrahedral intermediate of MurA (a carboxyvinyl transferase) was determined in order to better understand the corresponding enzyme catalyzed reaction. The breakdown was general acid-catalyz...

The Consequences of Short Term Exercise, Various Levels of Stress and Training on Ion Regulation in Different Species of Fish See

Initially, this study examined the mechanisms by which Na+ and Cl-are regulated in freshwater rainbow trout during exercise and stress. Aerobic exercise (~2 body lengths sec⁻¹) caused a brief increase in diffusive Na⁺ efflux (J...
