2008 journal article

Quantitative genetic analysis of sleep in Drosophila melanogaster

GENETICS, 178(4), 2341–2360.

By: S. Harbison* & A. Sehgal*

MeSH headings : Alleles; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Energy Metabolism / genetics; Female; Gene Expression Regulation; Male; Mutagenesis, Insertional; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Sex Characteristics; Sleep / genetics; Time Factors; Wakefulness / genetics
TL;DR: Mutational genetic correlations among sleep parameters revealed that the genetic basis of the transition between sleep and waking states in males and females may be different, suggesting that sleep may serve a number of different functions rather than a single purpose. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 journal article

Strategic selection of hyperthermophilic esterases for resolution of 2-arylpropionic esters

BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, 19(5), 1410–1416.

By: A. Sehgal n & R. Kelly n 

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Candida / enzymology; Candida / genetics; Catalysis; Enzyme Stability; Esterases / biosynthesis; Esterases / chemistry; Esterases / genetics; Esterases / isolation & purification; Esters; Hydrolysis; Molecular Sequence Data; Naproxen / analogs & derivatives; Naproxen / chemistry; Protein Engineering / methods; Pyrococcus furiosus / enzymology; Pyrococcus furiosus / genetics; Recombinant Proteins / biosynthesis; Recombinant Proteins / chemistry; Sequence Alignment / methods; Sequence Analysis, Protein / methods; Species Specificity; Stereoisomerism; Sulfolobus / enzymology; Sulfolobus / genetics
TL;DR: The results here show that although bioinformatics tools can be used to select candidate biocatalysts for chiral resolution of 2‐arylpropionic esters, biochemical characterization is needed to definitively determine functional characteristics. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Enantiomeric resolution of 2-aryl propionic esters with hyperthermophilic and mesophilic esterases: Contrasting thermodynamic mechanisms

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, 124(28), 8190–8191.

By: A. Sehgal n & R. Kelly n

TL;DR: The enantiomeric resolution of 2-aryl propionic esters by hyperthermophilic and mesophilic esterases was found to be governed by contrasting thermodynamic mechanisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Structural and catalytic response to temperature and cosolvents of carboxylesterase EST1 from the extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P1

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING, 80(7), 784–793.

By: A. Sehgal n, R. Tompson n, J. Cavanagh n & R. Kelly n 

author keywords: DMSO; conformational flexibility; enzyme activation; thermostable
MeSH headings : Acetonitriles / chemistry; Carboxylesterase; Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases / biosynthesis; Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases / chemistry; Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases / isolation & purification; Catalysis; Dimethyl Sulfoxide / chemistry; Dimethylformamide / chemistry; Dioxanes / chemistry; Enzyme Activation; Enzyme Stability; Molecular Conformation; Quality Control; Sensitivity and Specificity; Solvents / chemistry; Species Specificity; Structure-Activity Relationship; Sulfolobus / classification; Sulfolobus / enzymology; Temperature
TL;DR: Results suggest cosolvents may also serve as activators in applications involving thermostable biocatalysts at sub-optimal temperatures, related to small changes in the enzyme's structure resulting in an increase in its conformational flexibility. (via Semantic Scholar)
