Abstract:
Bacterial lignin-degrading strain Sphingobacterium sp. T2 is reported as most active strain among 12 isolates and proteomic analysis of extracellular fractions gave hits for two superoxide dismutase enzymes. Two novel lignin-oxidising enzymes from Sphingobacterium sp. T2 were identified. Experimental and bioinformatic evidence revealed that these enzymes are extracellular superoxide dismutases, namely SOD1 and SOD2. Both enzyme genes have been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The metal specificity of both enzymes was investigated using ICP-OES, UV-vis spectra and superoxide dismut

Abstract:
Multi-drug resistance in bacterial pathogens has become a global health crisis. Each year, millions of people worldwide are infected with bacterial strains that are resistant to currently available antibiotics. Diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, and gonorrhea have become increasingly more difficult to treat. It is essential that novel drugs and cellular targets be identified in order to treat this resistance. Bacterial topoisomerase IA is a novel drug target that is essential for cellular growth. As it has never been targeted by existing antibiotics, it is an attractive target. Topoisom

Abstract:
Kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) is an enzyme central to the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan degradation. KMO is emerging as an increasingly important target for drug development. The enzyme is implicated in the development and progression of several neurodegenerative disorders, in the regulation of the immune response and in sterile systemic inflammation. Production of recombinant human enzyme is challenging due to the presence of transmembrane domains, which localise KMO to the outer mitochondrial membrane and render KMO insoluble in many in vitro expression systems.
