Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering metabolic pathways via β-oxidation to support gluconeogenesis and the TCA ...

Leucyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzes attachment of leucine amino acid to its cognate tRNA. During the second, aminoacetylation, step of the reaction, the leucyl moiety is transferred from leucyl-adenylate ...

Post-translational modifications are an essential process for proper protein function and localization. In particular, lipid modification plays a crucial role in the spatial regulation of proteins ...
