  2020-02-12

  

  [125I] α-bungarotoxin competes with ACh, an endogenous activator of α7-nACh receptors by binding to the ACh binding site on the receptor (Albuquerque et al., 2009). For this reason, the effect of curcumin was investigated on the specific binding of [125I] α-bungarotoxin. Saturation curves for the bi

  Iterative design approach overview An iterative design strategy is used to identify a peptidase-resistant reporter that acts as an efficient substrate for kinases in cell lysates as well as intact cells (Fig. 1). In this process, small-scale, rationally designed libraries are used to screen pepti

  Introduction Our understanding of how ligands interact with G protein coupled receptors is evolving, particularly the recognition that some have the ability to preferentially activate a subset of intracellular signalling cascades – so called pathway biased ligands [1]. Additionally, it is now acc

  Conclusions Cereal seeds, like the seeds of all plants, are responsible for the development, protection, dispersal, and nutrition of the next generation. Moreover, cereal caryopses have a high nutritional value for humans and animals. The stable and proper growth of cereal seeds is made possible

  Compounds were prepared via the routes shown in , varying the sequence of reactions to install the thiazole or the phenyl ring at the end of the synthesis (pyridyl examples were prepared using similar chemistry). The aminothiazole building blocks were prepared as shown in . 5-Aminothiazole was prep

  Enzyme mimics belong to a type of rising catalysts which show the similar function with their corresponding natural enzymes [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], although their structures are different from natural enzymes. In the area of prodrug activation, the widely-used enzyme mimics a

  The most significant finding was the inhibition of EROD and BFCOD activity by CLO. Inhibition of EROD and BFCOD were reversible, as pre-incubation did not enhance CLO inhibitory potency, and no reductions in IC50 values were observed. We further characterized the kinetic pattern of inhibition using

  Introduction Collagen deposition is a common feature found in cancerous tissues and fibrotic organs/lesions. It is now well accepted that collagen deposition is not just a consequence of disease, but that it can also trigger a vicious cycle. Both chemical and physical signals elicited from collagen

  Synthetic peptides have proven highly valuable in replicating the characteristics of collagen and in defining the sites on collagen essential for binding and studying protein–collagen interactions. There are, however, disadvantages to synthetic collagen-like peptides. First, the thermal stability of

  Primary renal PNET was first reported by Seemayer et al in 1975. The possible etiology of rPNET is based on the theory of neural cell intussusception in the kidney during development that initiates the tumorigenesis. rPNET most commonly affects young adults, with a mean age of 30.4 years and male pr

  Enolase is an example of a moonlighting protein that displays multiple biological actions, including plasminogen, laminin, fibronectin, mucin and cytokeratin binding properties. It has also been described as a complement-evasion protein and as a protein capable of inducing neutrophil trap formation.

  The outcome of DGK function will thus depend on the binding partners of each DGK isoform, and the effects that they exert can be quite different. A clear example of this concept has been demonstrated for the type IV DGKs, ζ and ι, which are structurally very similar but have opposing effects on Ras

  Against this backdrop, we set out to identify synthetic and endogenous ligands that bind directly to and regulate the activity of Nurr1. Owing to the pivotal role Nurr1 plays in producing and processing dopamine, and the need for neurons to tightly regulate dopamine levels, we postulated that the re

  Here we uncover a highly diverse superfamily of self-replicating MGEs, dubbed pipolins, which are present in three major bacterial phyla, as well as in mitochondria, and encode divergent PolB carrying TPR1 and TPR2 subdomains. Biochemical characterization of a representative enzyme encoded by a pipo
