1. Isozyme patterns and thermostability of the skeletal muscle and heart malate dehydrogenase (s-MDH) from the spot acclimated to different temperatures were examined. 2. No changes in isozyme patterns were seen for MDH in any of the tissues examined in response to 15 degrees and 20 degrees C acclimation. 3. The A-homodimer, which was more thermostable showed an increase in its relative activity, whereas the B-homodimer, which was more heat sensitive, showed a decrease during warm acclimation. However, after different periods of low temperature incubation, these samples showed a decrease in their subunit ratios. 4. Concerning the effect to thermal acclimation on the thermostability of MDH, it was found that skeletal muscle samples of the 30 degrees C-acclimated spot were more stable to heat than the 20 degrees and 15 degrees C-acclimated fishes.

Melatonin (Mel) is a tryptophan-derived (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) molecule. In the present study, role of Mel in the regulation of various anaplerotic enzymes is discussed in relation to N metabolism and H-ATPase activity in mung bean under Cd stress. The application of Mel to the Cd-stressed mung bean seedlings was remarkable in improving the activity of hexokinase (35.

Allosteric regulation is a powerful mechanism for controlling the efficiency of enzymes. Deciphering the evolutionary mechanisms by which allosteric properties have been acquired in enzymes is of fundamental importance. We used the malate (MalDH) and lactate deydrogenases (LDHs) superfamily as model to elucidate this phenomenon.

Waterlogging is a significant stressor for crops, particularly in lowland regions where soil conditions exacerbate the problem. Waterlogged roots experience hypoxia, disrupting oxidative phosphorylation and triggering metabolic reorganization to sustain energy production. Here, we investigated the metabolic aspects that differentiate two soybean sister lines contrasting for waterlogging tolerance.

A variety of deep generative models have been adopted to perform functional protein generation. Compared to 3D protein design, sequence-based generation methods, which aim to generate amino acid sequences with desired functions, remain a major approach for functional protein generation due to the abundance and quality of protein sequence data, as well as the relatively low modeling complexity for training. Although these models are typically trained to match protein sequences from the training data, exact matching of every amino acid is not always essential.
