Nitrogen–fixing bacteria execute biological nitrogen fixation through nitrogenase, converting
inert dinitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere into bioavailable nitrogen. Elaborating the molecular …

Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a glycolytic enzyme that is well conserved among the
three domains of life. PGK is usually a monomeric enzyme of about 45 kDa that catalyses …

In Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, the first seven steps of glycolysis
are compartmentalized in glycosomes, which are authentic but specialized peroxisomes …

Glycosomes are peroxisome-related organelles that have been identified in kinetoplastids
and diplonemids. The hallmark of glycosomes is their harboring of the majority of the …

One peculiarity of protists belonging to classes Kinetoplastea and Diplonemea within the
phylum Euglenozoa is compartmentalisation of most glycolytic enzymes within peroxisomes …

Background Streptomyces lincolnensis is well known for producing the clinically important
antimicrobial agent lincomycin. The synthetic and regulatory mechanisms on lincomycin …

Per–Arnt–Sim (PAS) domains are key regions that occur in different regulatory proteins from
all kingdoms of life. PAS domains show a remarkably conserved structural scaffold, despite …

Abstract Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains are structurally conserved and present in numerous
proteins throughout all branches of the phylogenetic tree. Although PAS domain-containing …

The transient grating (TG) method, which is one of the photothermal techniques, can enable
sensitive detection of thermal energy with high temporal resolution based on changes in the …

Chromosome replication is a fundamental process in all domains of life. To accurately
transmit genetic material to offspring, the initiation of chromosome replication is tightly …
