More recently, the thioether group of methionine has begun to emerge as an important Cu(I) ligand for trafficking proteins in more oxidizing cellular environments. Inorganic chemistry poses ...

During parasitoid wasp infection, activated immune cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae release adenosine to conserve nutrients for immune response. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a methyl group ...

2024年11月1日，中国科学院微生物研究所唐双焱团队在Biosensors and Bioelectronics 发表题为?Designing a whole-cell biosensor applicable for S-adenosyl-l -methionine-dependent methyltransferases?的研究论文 ， ...

Viral proteins reprogram several processes associated with primary metabolism by interacting with the host’s metabolic enzymes. The methionine cycle (MTC), also known as activated methionine cycle, is ...

Just like the mechanical components in cars or computers, the molecules inside a cell can sometimes malfunction. When this happens during DNA replication, the result is an unpredictable change in ...

Fatty meats are doubly tricky because they are rich in the amino acid methionine, which contains sulphur. Sulphur is broken down by your gut bacteria into hydrogen sulphide – that lovely rotten ...
