Journal ArticleDOI

FAD binding overcomes defects in activity and stability displayed by cancer-associated variants of human NQO1

TL;DR: The data suggest that the main molecular mechanisms associated with these cancer-related variants are their low binding affinity for FAD and/or kinetic instability and pharmacological chaperones may be useful in the treatment of patients bearing these polymorphisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrocatalytic Volleyball: Rapid Nanoconfined Nicotinamide Cycling for Organic Synthesis in Electrode Pores.

TL;DR: In living cells, redox chains rely on nanoconfinement using tiny enclosures, such as the mitochondrial matrix or chloroplast stroma, to concentrate enzymes and limit distances that nicotinamide cofactors and other metabolites must diffuse.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1): an enzyme which needs just enough mobility, in just the right places.

TL;DR: NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) catalyses the two electron reduction of quinones and a wide range of other organic compounds, and is implicated in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The value of enzymes in solar fuels research - efficient electrocatalysts through evolution.

TL;DR: Experiments reveal the fleeting existence of reversible four-electron O2 reduction and water oxidation by 'blue' Cu oxidases, another reaction of great importance in realising a future based on renewable energy.
