U.S.-Hungary Research on Carbohydrate Metabolism in Algae

美国的主要目标是-匈牙利合作研究 Bob B博士之间的项目。加州大学的布坎南说， 伯克利分校和Gyorgy Bessenyei学院的Arpad Balogh博士， Nyiregyhaza，是研究细胞溶质碳水化合物代谢， 无细胞藻类 具体来说，研究人员将研究蔗糖 蛋白核小球藻（Chlorella pyrenoidosa）合成与降解 表征三种起催化剂作用的酶的意图 在这个相互转换的过程中。 酶的表征 涉及确定其物理性质，包括 分子量和动力学常数。 代谢知识 这项藻类研究产生的机制也将有助于我们 了解高等植物中的酶调节。 代谢生物学的这个项目实现了以下计划目标 促进科学知识，使美国的专家 国家和东欧联合收割机互补人才和共享 在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域的研究资源。

The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Bob B. Buchanan of the University of California, Berkeley, and Dr. Arpad Balogh of Gyorgy Bessenyei College, Nyiregyhaza, is to study cytosolic carbohydrate metabolism in uncellular algae. Specifically, the researchers will examine sucrose synthesis and breakdown in green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, with the intent of characterizing three enzymes that function as catalysts in this interconversion process. Characterization of the enzymes envolves determination of their physical properties, including molecular weight and kinetic constants. Knowledge of metabolic mechanisms yielded by this study of algae will also contribute to our understanding of enzyme regulation in higher plants. This project in metabolic biology fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
