Article Synopsis
- L-serine biosynthesis starts with D-3-phosphoglycerate being converted into 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate by the enzyme SerA, which can also produce D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HGA) from 2-ketoglutarate.
- Recent discoveries have identified bacterial enzymes called D2HGDHs that convert D-2-HGA back to 2-ketoglutarate; however, little is known about these enzymes in certain bacterial families.
- Two novel D2HGDHs were characterized, revealing their substrate specificity, optimal pH conditions, and sensitivity to metal ions, suggesting their potential use in metabolic engineering for creating microbes with specific traits.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the Pictogram Test (PT; Vygostsky, 1960) a test of logical memory that was developed in Russia, is applicable for diagnosing and understanding thought disturbances in schizophrenia within an English-speaking population. Participants included 62 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders and 80 community nonpatients from Russia and the United States. We used correlational analysis to organize PT variables into Concrete (CI), Attribute (AI), and Geometric (GI) indexes.
