Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The Δ5-desaturase from Bacillus subtilis has been cloned in Escherichia coli BL21 cells and its enzyme activity has been investigated as a function of temperature and oxygenation by analyzing methyl ester adducts from the total lipid extract in GC–MS measurements. The present data bring out that the activity of recombinant Δ5-desaturase, at 20–22 °C and 20% oxygen, is surprisingly high yielding 22% of C16:1,Δ5 (5- cis -palmitoleic acid) and 13% C18:2,Δ5Δ11 (efedrenic acid). Lower amounts of other mono- and doubly-Δ5-unsaturated fatty acids were also detected. These findings demonstrate that Δ5-desaturase can accept a multiplicity of substrates and is endowed with an unprecedented activity among other acyl-lipid desaturases thus representing a unique tool for the production of rare Δ5 unsaturated fatty acid derivatives.
