The process of heme breakdown by heme oxygenase (HMOX) yields bilirubin (BR) and biliverdin (BV) as by-products. Yellow players (YP) are enzymes involved in the production of BR and BV. YP, along with ...

In recent years, the role of genetic factors in the control of total serum bilirubin (TSB) concentrations and pathophysiology of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is becoming apparent. 1 Genetic mutations ...

The conjugation of arginine, by arginyl-transferase, to N-terminal aspartate, glutamate or oxidized cysteine is a part of the N-end rule pathway of protein degradation. We report that ...

THE formation of bilirubin and its elimination from the body as a waste product of heme catabolism require a series of metabolic alterations and transport processes. Partial or complete failure at any ...

The human parasite Plasmodium falciparum enzymatically digests hemoglobin during its intra-erythrocytic developmental stages in acidic food vacuole compartments. The released heme is rapidly ...

The S1 C-terminal domain of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 contains the receptor-binding domain (RBD), which is responsible for interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor ...
