Metabolic networks are interconnected and influence diverse cellular processes. The protein-metabolite interactions that mediate these networks are frequently low affinity and challenging to systematically discover. We developed mass spectrometry integrated with equilibrium dialysis for the disco...
Purpose: Alcohol-induced damage to bone microstructure leads to alcoholic osteopenia (AOP). While prior studies have demonstrated alcohol's negative impact on bone density, the mechanisms by which alcohol induces osteoporosis through immune pathways, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and metabolic altera...
Gene rv3722c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential for in vitro growth, and encodes a putative pyridoxal phosphate-binding protein of unknown function. Here we use metabolomic, genetic and structural approaches to show that Rv3722c is the primary aspartate aminotransferase of M. tuberculosis...
