Article Abstract
The oxygen-18 isotopic (O) composition in CO provides an important insight into the variation of rate in isotopic fractionation reaction regulated by carbonic anydrase (CA) metalloenzyme. This work aims to employ an O-isotope ratio-based analytical method for quantitative estimation of CA activity in erythrocytes for clinical testing purposes. Here, a new method has been developed that contains the measurements of O/O isotope ratios during oxygen-18 isotopic exchange between COO and HO of an in vitro biochemical reaction controlled by erythrocytes CA and estimation of enzymatic activity of CA from the isotopic composition of CO. We studied the enrichments of O-isotope of CO with increments of CA activities during isotopic fractionation reaction. To check the influence of subject-specific body temperature, pH, HO, and cellular produced CO on this reaction, we performed the in vitro experiments in closed containers with variations of those parameters. Finally, we mimicked the exchange reaction at 5% [CO], 5‰ [HO], pH of 7.4, and temperature of 37 °C to create the physiological environment equivalent to that of the human body and monitored the exchange kinetics with variations of CA activities, and subsequently, we derived the quantitative relation between the O-isotope of CO and CA activity in erythrocytes. This assay may be applicable for rapid and simple quantification of carbonic anhydrase activity which is very important to prevent the carbonic-anhydrase-associated disorders in human.

Introduction: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumor-like lesions in multiple organs. While central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cysts are commonly associated with VHL disease, there have been few reported cases of pancreatic hemangioblastoma in patients with VHL disease.
Case Presentation: A male patient in his 30s had been diagnosed with VHL disease and had been followed for cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinoma, for which he had undergone several tumor resections, radiation therapy, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Photo-responsive systems provide a powerful tool to reversibly regulate enzyme activity. However, inhibitor-based strategies, though widely used, are often restricted to specific enzymes. Noninhibitor strategies, such as enzyme surface modification or genetic mutation, often compromise structural integrity or residual activity.

Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) are fundamental biological macromolecules for mollusk shell formation, yet fewer than 400 SMPs in mollusks have been previously identified, hindering our understanding of how mollusks construct and maintain their shells. Here, we identified 1689 SMPs in the Pacific oyster using three different mass spectrometry techniques, representing a significant methodological advancement in shell proteomics, enabling a 6.52-fold increase in SMP identification compared to previous studies.

Unlabelled: CO concentration mechanisms (CCMs) are important in maintaining the high efficiency of photosynthesis of marine algae. Aquatic photoautotrophs have two types of CCMs: biophysical CCMs, based on the conversion of inorganic carbon, and biochemical CCMs, based on the formation of C acid intermediates. However, the contribution of biophysical and biochemical CCMs to algal carbon fixation remains unclear.
