Dalton Trans
. 2015 Jun;
44(28):12824-31.
PMID: 26100962
Determining the mechanism of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal growth is important for the development of more efficient and reliable synthetic methods. Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used for the first...

. 2011 Sep;
39(11):1606-1613.
PMID: 20648227
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins that act as spectroscopic probes can be used to study protein structure and function. One such probe is 4-cyanophenylalanine (PheCN), the nitrile...

Biochemistry
. 2011 Aug;
50(39):8261-3.
PMID: 21875066
Human CBS is a PLP-dependent enzyme that clears homocysteine, gates the flow of sulfur into glutathione, and contributes to the biogenesis of H(2)S. The presence of a heme cofactor in...

Weeks C, Singh S, Madzelan P, Banerjee R, Spiro T
J Am Chem Soc
. 2009 Sep;
131(35):12809-16.
PMID: 19722721
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) plays a central role in homocysteine metabolism, and malfunction of the enzyme leads to homocystinuria, a devastating metabolic disease. CBS contains a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) cofactor which...

Singh S, Madzelan P, Stasser J, Weeks C, Becker D, Spiro T, et al.
J Inorg Biochem
. 2009 Feb;
103(5):689-97.
PMID: 19232736
In humans, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) is a hemeprotein, which catalyzes a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent condensation reaction. Changes in the heme environment are communicated to the active site, which is approximately...

Curr Opin Struct Biol
. 2008 Jul;
18(5):623-9.
PMID: 18606227
Raman spectroscopy can provide unique information on the evolution of structure in proteins over a wide range of time scales; the picosecond to millisecond range can be accessed with pump-probe...

PMID: 16505479
Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) condenses homocysteine, a toxic metabolite, with serine in a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent reaction. It also contains a heme cofactor to which carbon monoxide (CO) or nitric oxide can...
