    Allergenic Acarus activity

    The first protein-level characterization of the group 4 alpha-amylase allergen Aca s 4 from the food storage mite Acarus siro reveals a distinct inhibition pattern and unusual alpha-amylolytic activity that may play an important role in allergenic hypersensitivity

    Lipid-bound apolipoproteins enhance ABCA1 activity

    Lipid-bound apolipoproteins on the surface of spherical high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles can behave like lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) to increase ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) protein levels and activity.

    Characterizing FARs from birds

    Fatty acyl-CoA reductases (FARs) cloned from the preening glands of barn owls, chickens and geese represent two distinct groups of isozymes that may be involved in wax ester biosynthesis and other pathways such as ether lipid synthesis

Scope

BMC Biochemistry is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of biochemical processes, including the structure, function and dynamics of metabolic pathways, supramolecular complexes, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids and small molecular components of organelles, cells and tissues.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Quote

Sally Blower

"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
