Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPX) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis
of tetrapyrroles, catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to
protoporphyrinogen IX. In bacteria and yeast this enzyme is cytosolic, in animals it is
mitochondrial, and in each it functions to produce heme. However, in all plants
investigated, the...
The proliferation of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasing human light exposure, yet the long-term effects of such exposure remains unknown. The current study aims to address this by measuring the longevity of Drosophila melanogaster kept in several light conditions. Initial longevity testing determined that flies kept in daily light-dark...
