Two small-volume electrochemical cells for the measurement of surface enhanced Raman scattering [PDF]
, 1984 Two electrochemical cells, for performing surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), with submillilitre volumes are presented. One of the cells is especially developed for use in a Raman microspectrometer.

Metal-ion binding and metal-ion induced folding of the adenine-sensing riboswitch aptamer domain [PDF]
, 2010 Divalent cations are important in the folding and stabilization of complex RNA structures. The adenine-sensing riboswitch controls the expression of mRNAs for proteins involved in purine metabolism by directly sensing intracellular adenine levels ...

Mutations in valosin-containing protein (VCP) decrease ADP/ATP translocation across the mitochondrial membrane and impair energy metabolism in human neurons [PDF]
, 2017 Mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP) lead to multisystem proteinopathies including frontotemporal dementia. We have previously shown that patient-derived VCP mutant fibroblasts exhibit lower mitochondrial membrane potential ...

The anabolic steroid stanozolol is a potent inhibitor of human MutT homolog 1
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) is a member of the NUDIX superfamily of enzymes and is an anticancer drug target. We show that stanozolol (Stz), an anabolic steroid, is an unexpected nanomolar inhibitor of MTH1. The X‐ray crystal structure of the human MTH1–Stz complex reveals a unique binding scaffold that could be utilized for future inhibitor development ...

Antagonism of Morphine Analgesia by Adenine, Adenosine, and Adenine Nucleotides
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1973 SummaryAntagonism of the antinociceptive action of morphine in mice by prior parenteral administration of cAMP has been confirmed using two additional analgesic testing procedures, the hot-plate test and the stretching test. The analgesia-antagonistic property, however, is not specific for cAMP because it also occurred after pretreatment with compounds
