Showcasing the concept of light-induced homolysis for the generation of radicals, the Cu-photocatalyzed decarboxylative oxygenation of carboxylic acids with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant is described. Two Cu-carboxylate complexes with different coordination geometries were synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis, correlating their structure with their ability to initiate light-induced decarboxylations.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is considered as a "metabolic disease" due to various perturbations in metabolic pathways that could drive cancer development. Glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) is a mitochondrial enzyme that takes part in the oxidation of glycine to support nucleotide biosynthesis via transfer of one-carbon units. Herein, we aimed to investigate the potential role of GLDC in RCC development.

Continuous supply of NADPH is necessary for the synthesis of ROS, which can be derived from the decarboxylation of malic acid, providing fuels for RbOHs to sustain ROS production. However, excessive accumulations of ROS lead to significant chilling injury (CI) in peaches during cold storage. Our previous studies indicated that hot air (HA) slows the CI progression in peaches by preventing malate degradation.

An open reading frame from the actinobacterium Mycolicibacterium smegmatis annotated as a Prostaglandin H Synthase (PGHS) was expressed with an N-terminal (his) tag and purified to homogeneity. The enzyme has a monomeric molecular weight of 68.3 kD and exists as a dimer in the presence of nonionic detergent.
