Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive and toxic compound produced in carbohydrate, lipid, and
amino acid metabolism. The glyoxalase system is the main detoxifying route for MG and …

Myrosinase from Sinapis alba hydrolyzes glycosidic bonds of β-dS-glucosides. The enzyme
shows an enhanced activity in the presence of l-ascorbic acid. In this work, we employed …

Brevicoryne brassicae, an aphid species, exclusively consumes plants from the
Brassicaceae family and employs a sophisticated defense mechanism involving a …

Glyoxalase I (GlxI) is a member of the glyoxalase system, which is important in cell
detoxification and converts hemithioacetals of methylglyoxal (a cytotoxic byproduct of sugar …

Glyoxalase I (GlxI) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the detoxification of methylglyoxal
(MG) with the help of glutathione (H-SG). It is currently unclear whether MG and H-SG are …

Quantum mechanical (QM) cluster approach is a useful and convenient tool to study
mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. Our investigation is to propose a proper QM-cluster that …
