TL;DR: It is found that triclosan acts as a site-directed, very potent inhibitor of the enzyme by mimicking its natural substrate.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NaCl causes a transient suppression of de novo protein synthesis, from which the cells recover within 4 h, which is a typical response of plant cells to salt and hyperosmotic stress.

TL;DR: Evidence for new proteins of unknown function whose existence had been predicted from genomic sequences are reported and an unexpected presence in the cell wall preparations of proteins whose known biochemical activity has never been associated with this compartment hitherto is observed.

TL;DR: Analysis of the structures of complexes of Escherichia coli ENR with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and either thienodiazaborine or benzodiazabadine revealed the formation of a covalent bond between the 2′ hydroxyl of the nicotinamia ribose and a boron atom in the drugs to generate a tight, noncovalently bound bisubstrate analog.

TL;DR: In castor bean DGAT2 is more likely to play a major role in seed TAG biosynthesis than DGAT1, and expresses 18-fold more highly expressed in seeds than in leaves and shows temporal specific expression during seed development.
