  2. Xenobiotic metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiotic_metabolism

    Cytochrome P450 oxidases are important enzymes in xenobiotic metabolism.. Xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as drugs and poisons.

  3. Phycoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycoplast

    In these algae, the spindle collapses and a new system of microtubules forms that is oriented in parallel to the plane of cell division. This phycoplast can be observed in algae undergoing cytokinesis via cleavage furrow (case 1 in picture) as well as algae utilizing a cell plate (case 3 in picture).

  4. Reactive oxygen species production in marine microalgae

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species...

    At its peak, this reaction occurs with a rate constant on the order of 2.2×10 4 – 4.5×10 5 L mol −1 sec −1 in seawater. [12] The dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide can also be catalyzed by the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase with a rate constant on the order of 2×10 9 L mol −1 sec −1. [32]

  5. Drug metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_metabolism

    Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as any drug ...

  6. Prochlorococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prochlorococcus

    [1] [2] Prochlorococcus strains, called ecotypes, have physiological differences enabling them to exploit different ecological niches. [3] Analysis of the genome sequences of Prochlorococcus strains show that 1,273 [4] genes are common to all strains, and the average genome size is about 2,000 genes. [1] In contrast, eukaryotic algae have over ...

  7. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    The phases include the G1 and G2 phases, DNA replication or S phase, and the actual process of cell division, mitosis or M phase. [1] During the M phase, the chromosomes separate and cytokinesis occurs. The switches maintain the orderly progression of the cell cycle and act as checkpoints to ensure that each phase has been properly completed ...

  8. Alcohol dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_dehydrogenase

    The overall reaction can be seen below: Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 ethanol + 2 CO 2 + 2 ATP + 2 H 2 O [38] Alcohol Dehydrogenase. In yeast [39] and many bacteria, alcohol dehydrogenase plays an important part in fermentation: Pyruvate resulting from glycolysis is converted to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, and the acetaldehyde is then ...

  9. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    5 cluster (including two chloride ions), one non heme Fe 2+ and two putative Ca 2+ ions per monomer. [4] There are several crystal structures of photosystem II. [5] The PDB accession codes for this protein are 3WU2, 3BZ1, 3BZ2 (3BZ1 and 3BZ2 are monomeric structures of the Photosystem II dimer), [4] 2AXT, 1S5L, 1W5C, 1ILX, 1FE1, 1IZL.
