1. Formyl-coenzyme : a transferase, structure and enzymatic mechanism
Abstract : Background: Formyl-CoA transferase (Frc) is the first enzyme in a two enzyme pathway responsible for oxalate degradation in Oxalobacter formigenes. This bacterium is a constitutive part of human intestinal flora. Its role as an oxalate scavenger is very important, reports have shown a strong connection between the disappearance of 0. READ MORE

2. The type-I acyl-CoA thioesterase/acyltransferase gene family : linking structure to function
Abstract : Acyl-CoA thioesterases hydrolyse acyl-CoAs to non-esterified fatty acids and coenzyme A (CoASH), thereby regulating intracellular levels of these compounds. We have recently identified and initiated characterisation of a novel, unique gene family of acyl-CoA thioesterases/acyltransferases, called the Type-I acyl-CoA thioesterase/acyltransferase gene family.

3. Structural enzymology of oxalate degradation in Oxalobacter formigenes
Abstract : Oxalic acid, as one of nature's most highly oxidised compounds, is toxic to most organisms. It is introduced in the human body in the diet but also as a waste product of cellular metabolism. Mammals do not posses the ability to degrade oxalate and must excrete it in the urine or through the intestine. READ MORE

4. Amino acid conjugation of fatty acids as a novel pathway in lipid metabolism
Abstract : Peroxisomes are cell organelles that play an important role in the metabolism of a variety of lipids including very long chain fatty acids, dicarboxylic acids, bile acids, and xenobiotic carboxylic acids to name a few. To accomplish these tasks peroxisomes contain many proteins involved in lipid metabolism including members of the Type I acyl-CoA thioesterase/acyltransferase protein family. READ MORE

5. Anaerobic degradation of phenol and related aromatics
Abstract : Phenol and other simple aromatic compounds have been found in water leached from landfills, showing that these types of compounds could be either present in disposed waste, or released from it via transformation and degradation processes. Hence, the fate anddegradation potential of such compounds under landfilling conditions is of great concern. READ MORE
