Enzymes synthesized by hyperthermophiles (bacteria and archaea with optimal growth
temperatures of> 80° C), also called hyperthermophilic enzymes, are typically thermostable …

In biological systems, the amino acid cysteine combines catalytic activity with an extensive
redox chemistry and unique metal binding properties. The interdependency of these three …

An essential step in macromolecular refinement is the selection of model parameters which
give as good a description of the experimental data as possible while retaining a realistic …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the translation, rotation, and screw-rotation
(TLS) parameterization of anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs). In general, each …

The metabolism of Archaea, the third domain of life, resembles in its complexity those of
Bacteria and lower Eukarya. However, this metabolic complexity in Archaea is accompanied …

Tau Filaments are found in> 20 neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, because of their
enormous molecular weights and poor tendency to form highly ordered 3D crystal lattices …

Three-dimensional structures have been determined of a large number of proteins
characterized by a repetitive fold where each of the repeats (coils) supplies a strand to one …

Sugar-utilizing hyperthermophilic and halophilic Archaea degrade glucose and glucose
polymers to acetate or to CO2 using O2, nitrate, sulfur or sulfate as electron acceptors …

One of the first hurdles to be negotiated in the postgenomic era involves the description of
the entire protein content of the cell, the proteome. Such efforts are presently complicated by …

Fermentation and anaerobic digestion of organic waste and wastewater is broadly studied
and applied. Despite widely available results and data for these processes, comparison of …
