A Riboflavin-Derived Flavinium Salt Mediates Chemoselective Methylation Reactions. [PDF]
A two‐component methylation protocol was developed, where the active flavin mediator can be recycled in a single step. Crystallographic data and NMR spectroscopy support the mechanistic proposal, while chemoselective methylation was observed for a broad range of biologically relevant substrates. ABSTRACT Selective methylation is among the most relevant

Plant cell surface receptors. [PDF]
SUMMARY Plants face constant environmental changes and must integrate external and internal cues to coordinate growth, development, reproduction, and stress responses. A major strategy is perception at the cell surface via a large, diverse network of receptors.

The Impact of Redox Mediators on the Electrogenic and Physiological Properties of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 in a Biophotovoltaic System. [PDF]
Redox mediators are essential to promote the electrogenic activity of cyanobacteria in biophotovoltaics. In this work, we systematically evaluates three representative mediators about their influence on the cyanobacterial growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and electrogenic activity. The results reveal distinct impacts of different mediators, despite of

The power of patterns: new insights into pattern‐triggered immunity
Summary The plant immune system features numerous immune receptors localized on the cell surface to monitor the apoplastic space for danger signals from a broad range of plant colonizers. Recent discoveries shed light on the enormous complexity of molecular signals sensed by these receptors, how they are generated and removed to maintain cellular ...

The effects of Avemar treatment on feline immunodeficiency virus infected cell cultures
The antiviral effect of a fermented wheat germ extract, named Avemar, was tested in vitro in the feline AIDS model. In a dose‐dependent manner, Avemar inhibited the replication of both European and American FIV strains in feline lymphoid cell cultures.
