Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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 gene encoding α-methylserine aldolase was isolated from Bosea sp. AJ110407. Sequence analysis revealed that the predicted amino acid sequence encoded by the 1320-bp open reading frame was 65.0% similar to the corresponding sequence of the enzyme isolated from Ralstonia sp. AJ110405. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified. Gel filtration revealed the molecular mass of the purified enzyme to be approximately 78 kDa, suggesting that the enzyme is a homodimer. The enzyme exhibited a specific peak at 429 nm in the spectrum and contained 1 mol pyridoxal 5′-phosphate per mole of the subunit. The V max value was 1.40 μmol min −1 mg −1, and the K m value was 1.5 mM for the reaction wherein formaldehyde was released from α-methyl- l -serine. This enzyme could also catalyze the reverse reaction, i.e., the synthesis of α-methyl- l -serine from l -alanine and formaldehyde. This activity was inhibited in the excess of formaldehyde; however, α-methyl- l -serine was efficiently produced from l -alanine in the presence of formaldehyde. This method was also applicable for producing α-ethyl- l -serine from l -2-aminobutyric acid.
