NAD+-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH; EC 1.1.1.41) is a complex allosterically regulated enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Yeast IDH is believed to be an octamer containing four catalytic IDH2 and four regulatory IDH1 subunits. Crystals of yeast IDH have been obtained and optimized using sodium citrate, a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, as the precipitating agent. The crystals belong to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = 302.0, c = 112.1 A. Diffraction data were collected to 2.9 A from a native crystal and to 4.0 A using multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) methods from an osmium derivative. Initial electron-density maps reveal large solvent channels and the molecular boundaries of the allosteric IDH multimer.

Article Synopsis
- Bilirubin (BR) is a key component of a Chinese medicine, Calculus bovis, and has proven health benefits for conditions like cardiovascular issues, stroke, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
- Recent research focused on developing a method to produce BR through metabolic engineering, rather than extracting it from pig bile, by expressing specific enzymes in a host organism.
- The study successfully enhanced BR production by optimizing various genes and fermentation processes, resulting in a significant yield of 75.5 mg/L of BR, marking a breakthrough in its biosynthesis.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and acts in glutamine synthesis. IDH also participates in plant growth and development and in response to abiotic stresses. We identified 11 maize genes () and classified these genes into and groups based on their different coenzymes (NAD or NADP).

PAO1, as an experimental model for Gram-negative bacteria, harbors two NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (NADP-IDHs) that were evolved from its ancient counterpart NAD-IDHs. For a better understanding of PaIDH1 and PaIDH2, we cloned the genes, overexpressed them in and purified them to homogeneity. PaIDH1 displayed higher affinity to NADP and isocitrate, with lower Km values when compared to PaIDH2.
