Redox reactions pervade living cells. They are central to both anabolic and catabolic
metabolism. The ability to maintain redox balance is therefore vital to all organisms. Various …

Fe–S clusters are key to the sensing and transcription functions of three transcription factors,
FNR, IscR and SoxR. All three proteins were discovered in Escherichia coli but experimental …

The fungal species Candida albicans and the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus are
responsible for a majority of hospital-acquired infections and often coinfect critically ill …

Both deficiencies and excesses of iron represent major public health problems throughout
the world. Understanding the cellular and organismal processes controlling iron …

Nitrogen fixation within legume nodules results from a complex metabolic exchange
between bacteria of the family Rhizobiaciae and the plant host. Carbon is supplied to the …

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle plays two essential roles in metabolism. First, under
aerobic conditions the cycle is responsible for the total oxidation of acetyl-CoA that is …

RNA-binding proteins (RPBs) are deeply involved in fundamental cellular processes in
bacteria and are vital for their survival. Despite this, few studies have so far been dedicated …

Proteomics has emerged as an indispensable methodology for large-scale protein analysis
in functional genomics. The Escherichia coli proteome has been extensively studied and is …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an intermediate of the respiratory pathway known as denitrification, and
is a by-product of anaerobic nitrite respiration in the enteric Bacteria. Pathogens are also …

It is quite important to understand the overall metabolic regulation mechanism of bacterial
cells such as Escherichia coli from both science (such as biochemistry) and engineering …
