Deazaguanine modifications play multifaceted roles in the molecular biology of DNA and
tRNA, shaping diverse yet essential biological processes, including the nuanced fine-tuning …

The DNA in bacterial viruses collectively contains a rich, yet relatively underexplored,
chemical diversity of nucleobases beyond the canonical adenine, guanine, cytosine, and …

The Ntn-hydrolases (N-terminal nucleophile) are a superfamily of diverse enzymes that has
recently been characterized. All of the proteins in this family are activated autocatalytically; …

This volume is a timely and comprehensive description of the many facets of DNA and RNA
modification-editing processes and to some extent repair mechanisms. Each chapter offers …

Bile salt hydrolase (BSH) is an enzyme produced by the intestinal microflora that catalyzes
the deconjugation of glycine-or taurine-linked bile salts. The crystal structure of BSH …

The enzyme YkvM from Bacillus subtilis was identified previously along with three other
enzymes (YkvJKL) in a bioinformatics search for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of …

High-resolution X-ray structures of the complexes of Aspergillus flavus urate oxidase (Uox)
with three inhibitors, 8-azaxanthin (AZA), 9-methyl uric acid (MUA) and oxonic acid (OXC) …

In response to bacterial infection, the vertebrate host employs the metal-sequestering
protein calprotectin (CP) to withhold essential transition metals, notably Zn (II), to inhibit …

The anti‐lipopolysaccharide factor ALF‐Pm3 is a 98‐residue protein identified in hemocytes
from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. It was expressed in Pichia pastoris from the …

The copper-containing enzyme nitrous oxide reductase (N 2 OR) catalyzes the
transformation of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to dinitrogen (N 2) in microbial denitrification. Several …
