Substrate Specificity Determinant of C-Deglycosidase from Human Gut Bacterium Dorea sp. MRG-IFC3
Puerarin-metabolizing C-deglycosidase from Dorea sp. MRG-IFC3 exhibits high substrate specificity compared to the other C-deglycosidase isolated from the human gut. We have found that the glutamine 118 residue at the D3dgpB was the key residue controlling the substrate specificity.

Electric energy for data
Koreans, in a developed country, use more modern gear. Many of us love to use SNS services for many reasons which relate to the cloud data storage service. Let's think about how much we contribute to the earth's environmental changes. I estimate an average Korean uses 10giga bites data in the cloud, noticeable or not, which is equivalent to about 5 kW/h (How much electricity for data). It also matches to 300Kg of CO2 currently (CO2 per unit of energy). Consider the population of Korea is 50 million, then we get 15 megatons of CO2 emissions. It occupies 2.3% of national CO2 emissions (Korea CO2 emission data).
