In the present study, a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase from Tribolium castaneum (TcPanD) was selected for protein engineering to efficiently produce β-alanine. A mutant TcPanD-R98H/K305S with a 2.45-fold higher activity than the wide type was selected through error-prone PCR, site-saturation mutagenesis

We report the first computational study of the chromophores responsible for the chromogenic effects of aromatic neurotoxicants containing a 1,2-diacetyl moiety in their oxidation metabolites. A series of ab initio electronic structure calculations was performed on two representative aromatic compounds

The aromatic hydrocarbon 1,2-diacetylbenzene (1,2-DAB) is a protein-reactive gamma-diketone metabolite of the neurotoxic solvent 1,2-diethylbenzene (1,2-DEB). The effect of neurotoxic 1,2-DAB and its non-neurotoxic isomer 1,3-DAB has been studied on motor proteins and cytoskeletal proteins of rat spinal cord (SC).

Neuroprotein changes in the spinal cord of rodents with aliphatic gamma-diketone axonopathy induced by 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) are compared with those reported previously in aromatic gamma-diketone-like axonopathy induced by 1,2-diacetylbenzene (1,2-DAB). Sprague-Dawley rats were treated intraperitoneally with 500 mg/kg/day 2,5-HD, equimolar

Organic solvents are ubiquitous in industrial and household surroundings, and thus individuals are easily exposed. 1,2-Diethylbenzene (DEB) is one of organic solvents contained in gasoline or jet fuels. DEB is absorbed by dermal or inhalation routes, metabolized by cytochrome P-450
