   Abstract : Bloodstream infection (blood poisoning) and antibiotic resistance are increasing worldwide, and already cause the loss of millions of human lives each year.

7. 5. Lipoamidase

   Author : Lennart Nilsson; Örjan Zetterqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Lipoamidase, an enzyme which removes lipoic acid from the e-amino group of a lysine residue in 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes, has been measured in human serum and breast milk, and in different rat tissues. Serum from a boy with biotinid~e deficiency had low lipoarnidase activity measured as lipoyl-lysine hydrolase (LLH) and lipoyl-PABA hydrolase (LPH). READ MORE
