	abstract = {Carbohydrate epimerases are enzymes that catalyze an inversion of stereochemistry at a stereogenic center in a sugar. This review focuses on the mechanistic strategies that are employed by this diverse family of enzymes, and is divided into the following sections: deprotonation/reprotonation, transient oxidation, cofactor independent, and mutarotation. The review is comprehensive up to Oct. 2001 and contains 216 references.},

	abstract = {Mixtures of human myoglobin (Mb) (or the Y103F variant of human Mb), authentic peroxynitrite (ONOO-, ONOO-:protein 2 mol/mol), and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) gave radicals adducts at cysteine-110 (DMPO-C110) that are detected directly by electron paramagnetic magnetic spectroscopy (EPR). DMPO-C110 was detected exclusively over a range of DMPO concentrations (DMPO:protein ratios 25-100 mol/mol). Treatment of human Mb (or Y103F Mb) with the ONOO- generator 5-amino-3-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,3-oxadiazolium (SIN-1) chloride (ONOO-: protein 5 mol/mol) yielded a cross-linked Mb dimer as judged by SDS-PAGE analyses. Addition of DMPO or carbonate effectively eliminated the cross-linked product. Mass analyses of samples containing human Mb (or Y103F Mb), carbonate, and ONOO- indicated that nitration occurs exclusively at Y103. Thus, reaction of human Mb and ONOO- yields specific products that depend on the presence or absence of physiological concentrations of carbonate. These products may serve as biomarkers for the participation of Mb-derived radicals in the oxidative damage associated with myocardial reperfusion injury. (C) 2001 Academic Press.},

	abstract = {Sugar nucleotides serve as the activated forms of carbohydrates that are used in a wide range of biosynthetic pathways. Instead of building up the sugar nucleotide from the free sugar itself, nature often chooses to modify the "donor" portion of a pre-existing sugar nucleotide in a biosynthetically efficient manner. In doing so a rich variety of catalytic strategies are employed and this review focuses on recent mechanistic and structural studies of the sugar nucleotide-modifying enzymes. The review is organized around the types of reactions catalyzed and contains the following sections: Epimerases/Mutases/Decarboxylases, Eliminations and Substitutions, Oxidation and Reduction, and Substitutions on the Periphery of Sugar Nucleotides.},
