I Yacoby, H Bar, I Benhar - Antimicrobial agents and …, 2007 - Am Soc Microbiol
While the resistance of bacteria to traditional antibiotics is a major public health concern, the
use of extremely potent antibacterial agents is limited by their lack of selectivity. As in cancer …

Green algal hydrogenase activity is outcompeted by carbon fixation before inactivation by oxygen takes place

Y Milrad, S Schweitzer, Y Feldman, I Yacoby - Plant physiology, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Photoproduction of hydrogen by green algae is considered a transitory release valve of excess
reducing power and a potential carbon-free source of sustainable energy. It is generally …

[HTML][HTML] Binding of ferredoxin NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) to plant photosystem I

P Marco, T Elman, I Yacoby - Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta (BBA) …, 2019 - Elsevier
The binding of FNR to PSI has been postulated long ago, however, a clear evidence is still
missing. In this work, using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we found that FNR binds to …
