Kinetics of transport and phosphorylation of glucose in cancer cells.

29 Nov 2009 Metabolic control analysis of tumor glycolysis has indicated that hexokinase (HK) and glucose transporter (GLUT) exert the main flux control (71%). To understand why they are the main controlling steps, the GLUT and HK kinetics and the contents of ... Read more...

Water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by redox enzymes on conducting graphite platelets.

12 Oct 2009 The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction (CO + H(2)O <==> CO(2) + H(2)) is of major industrial significance in the production of H(2) from hydrocarbon sources. High temperatures are required, typically in excess of 200 degrees C, using d-metal catalysts ... Read more...

Ligand-enhanced reduction of perchlorate in water with heterogeneous Re-Pd/C catalysts.

12 Oct 2009 New bimetallic heterogeneous catalysts for the reduction of perchlorate in water with dihydrogen have been prepared in two ways: (1) by impregnating 5 wt % Pd on activated carbon powder with one of the complexes trans-[ReO(2)(py-X)(4)](+) (py-X = ... Read more...
