Article Synopsis
- Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that leads to severe ketoacidosis due to issues with ketone metabolism.
- A 12-month-old infant presented with symptoms like metabolic acidosis, ketosis, and hyperammonemia, prompting genetic testing which revealed a specific gene variant linked to SCOT deficiency.
- The report includes management strategies for stabilizing the infant in the ICU and a method for preventing ketosis post-discharge using uncooked cornstarch.
In oxygenic photosynthesis, two photosystems work in tandem to harvest light energy and generate NADPH and ATP. Photosystem II (PSII), the protein-pigment complex that uses light energy to catalyze the splitting of water, is assembled from its component parts in a tightly regulated process that requires a number of assembly factors. The 2pac mutant of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was isolated and found to have no detectable PSII activity, whereas other components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, including photosystem I, were still functional.
