In countries where the economy relies mostly on agricultural-livestock activities, such as Argentina, droughts cause significant economic losses. Currently, the most-used drought indices by the Argentinian National Meteorological and Hydrological Services are based on field precipitation data, such as the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). In this article, we explored the performance of the satellite-based soil moisture agricultural ...

Tuberculosis is perhaps the most persistent human disease caused by an infections bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The L,D-transpeptidase enzyme catalyzes the formation of 3 → 3 peptidoglycan cross-links of the Mtb cell wall and facilitates resistance against classical β-lactams. Herein, the experimentally proposed mechanism for LdtMt2 was studied by performing QM/MM MD simulations. The whole mechanistic process includes two stages: acylation and deacylation. During the acylation step, two steps ...

The dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHOD) class 1A enzyme catalyzes is the only redox enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway (de novo) of pyrimidines where dihydroorotate (DHO) is oxidized to orotate (OA) coupled to reduction of a flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor. The rupture of two DHO C–H bonds can proceed in a concerted or stepwise way. Herein, the catalytic mechanism of DHOD from Lactococcus lactis involving DHO oxidation (first half-reaction) was described using a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular ...

HIV drug resistance continues to emerge; consequently, there is an urgent need to develop next generation antiretroviral therapeutics.1 Here we report on the structural and kinetic effects of an HIV protease drug resistant variant with the double mutations Gly48Thr and Leu89Met (PRG48T/L89M), without the stabilizing mutations Gln7Lys, Leu33Ile, and Leu63Ile. Kinetic analyses reveal that PRG48T/L89M and PRWT share nearly identical Michaelis-Menten parameters; however, PRG48T/L89M exhibits weaker binding ...

γ-Secretase (GS) is an intramembrane aspartyl protease that participates in the sequential cleavage of C99 to generate different isoforms of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides that are associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. Due to its importance in the proteolytic processing of C99 by GS, we performed pH replica exchange molecular dynamics (pH-REMD) simulations of GS in its apo and substrate-bound forms to sample the protonation states of the catalytic dyad. We found that the catalytic dyad ...

The role of surface amino acid residues in the interaction of putidaredoxin (Pdx) with its redox partners in the cytochrome P450cam (CYP101) system was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutated Pdx genes were expressed inEscherichia coli, and the proteins were purified and studied in vitro. Activity of the complete reconstituted P450cam system was measured, and kinetic parameters were determined. Partial assays were also conducted to determine the effect of the mutations on interactions ...
