The photochemical mechanism of a B12-dependent photoreceptor protein

TL;DR: The photochemistry in CarH that ultimately triggers tetramer dissociation is described; it proceeds via a cob(III)alamin intermediate, which then forms a stable adduct with the protein, which is independent of the radical chemistry common to both coenzyme B12 enzymology and its known photochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systems Biology: The elements and principles of Life

TL;DR: Systems Biology has a mission that puts it at odds with traditional paradigms of physics and molecular biology, such as the simplicity requested by Occam's razor and minimum energy/maximal efficiency, which are shown to be inapt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structure of Bacterial Morphinone Reductase and Properties of the C191A Mutant Enzyme.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the NADH-dependent bacterial flavoenzyme morphinone reductase has been determined at 2.2-Å resolution in complex with the oxidizing substrate codeinone and it is established that Cys-191 does not act as a crucial acid in the mechanism of reduction of the olefinic bond found in 2-cyclohexenone and codein one.
