A. thaliana NAD-malic enzymes operate via distinct kinetic mechanisms

In this paper, Marcus Tronconi, Carlos Andreo and colleagues report on the kinetic characterization of three forms (homodimers NAD-ME1 and NAD-ME2, and the heterodimer NAD-MEH) of the NAD-malic enzyme in A. thaliana, and demonstrate form-specific differences in catalytic mechanism and substrate affinity.

Calling International Rescue: knowledge lost in literature and data landslide!

Terri Attwood and her colleagues in Manchester survey some of the recent projects that have sought to transform scholarly publishing paradigms, culminating in the Semantic Biochemical Journal. Download the software and see how papers are richer and the data more accessible than before. The Semantic Biochemical Journal marks the beginning of a publishing revolution, changing the way we interact with, and review, the scholarly scientific journal forever.
