Galactokinase (GalK), particularly GalK from Escherichia coli, has been widely employed for the synthesis of sugar-1-phosphates. In this study, a GalK from Bifidobacterium infantis ATCC 15697 (BiGalK) was cloned and over-expressed with a yield of over 80 mg/L cell cultures. The k(cat)/K-m value of recombinant BiGalK toward galactose (164 s (1) mM (1) ) is 296 times higher than that of GalK from E. coli, indicating that BiGalK is much more efficient in the phosphorylation of galactose. The enzyme also exhibits activity toward galacturonic acid, which has never been observed on other wild type GalKs. Further activity assays showed that BiGalK has broad substrate specificity toward both sugars and phosphate donors. These features make BiGalK an attractive candidate for the large scale preparation of galactose-1-phosphate and derivatives. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Methods for the measurement and prediction of response to hepatotoxicants and carcinogens through the detection of metabolites in a mammal are provided. The metabolites can be used as biomarkers, including efficacy biomarkers, surrogate biomarkers, and toxicity biomarkers. The methods find use for early prediction of toxicity, target identification/validation, and monitoring of drug efficacy.

The present invention relates to a probe compound that can comprise any substrate or metabolite of an enzymatic reaction in addition to an indicator component, such as, for example, a fluorescence dye, or the like. Moreover, the present invention relates to means for detecting enzymes in form of an array, which comprises any number of probe compounds of the invention which each comprise a different metabolite of interconnected metabolites representing the central pathways in all forms of life. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for detecting enzymes involving the application of cell extracts or the like to the array of the invention which leads to reproducible enzymatic reactions with the substrates. These specific enzymatic reactions trigger the indicator (e.g. a fluorescence signal) and bind the enzymes to the respective cognate substrates. Moreover, the invention relates to means for isolating enzymes in form of nanoparticles coated with the probe compound of the invention. The immobilisation of the cognate substrates or metabolites on the surface of nanoparticles by means of the probe compounds allows capturing and isolating the respective enzyme, e.g. for subsequent sequencing.
