Uraemic Cardiomyopathy in Different Mouse Models
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Uraemic cardiomyopathy (UCM) is one of the most common complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our aim was to compare characteristics of various UCM mouse models. Mice were assigned to the following groups: the pole ligation group, 5/6 nephrectomy

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals
Life, 2015 Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expected to play a

Adenine and Thymine Effect on Quartz Dissolution at Different Artificial Seawaters
Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry, 2018 According to Bernal (1951) minerals may have played important roles in the origin of life such as: protect biomolecules against degradation by UV radiation or hydrolysis, pre-concentrate biomolecules from prebiotic seas and formation of polymers.

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
, 2015 MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

DGR mutagenic transposition occurs via hypermutagenic reverse transcription primed by nicked template RNA. [PDF]
, 2017 Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are molecular evolution machines that facilitate microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Hypervariation occurs via a mutagenic retrotransposition process from a template repeat (TR) to a variable repeat ...
