Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Coulomb Interaction as the Source of Muscle Force [PDF]
Myosin motor is the machine, which performs mechanical work in the course of adenosine triphosphate molecule hydrolysis and myosin head conformations accompanying this process. For displacement of individual fragments of large molecule relative to each other to arise and work to be performed, force must be born inside protein.

Determination of total potentially available nucleosides in bovine milk [PDF]
Bovine colostrum and milk samples were collected from two herds over the course of the first month post-partum, pooled for each herd by stage of lactation and total potentially available nucleosides were determined.

Interpolated inverse discrete wavelet transforms in additive and non-additive spectral background correction [PDF]
We demonstrate the applicability of using interpolated inverse discrete wavelet transforms as a general tool for modeling additive or multiplicative background or error signals in spectra. Additionally, we propose an unsupervised way of estimating the optimal wavelet basis along with the model parameters.

Impaired cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with Barth syndrome [PDF]
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X‐linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected

ATP Hysteresis in Tripartite Synapses [PDF]
Recent experimental studies strongly suggest the influence of glial purinergic transmission in the modulation of synaptic dynamics. By releasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which accumulates as adenosine, astrocytes tonically suppressed synaptic transmission. The delayed multi-step feedback of the glial adenosine with the neuron suggest the existence

Direct Growth Graphene on Cu Nanoparticles by Chemical Vapor Deposition as Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrate for Label-Free Detection of Adenosine [PDF]
We present a graphene/Cu nanoparticle hybrids (G/CuNPs) system as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for adenosine detection. The Cu nanoparticles wrapped around a monolayer graphene shell were directly synthesized on flat quartz by chemical vapor deposition in a mixture of methane and hydrogen.

Computational Study of Molecular Mechanisms of Caffeine Actions [PDF]
Caffeine (CAF) is one of the most widely and regularly consumed biologically active substances. We use computer simulation approach to the study of CAF activity by searching for its possible complexes with biopolymer fragments. The principal CAF target at physiologically important concentrations refers to adenosine receptors.

Deuterated nucleotides as chemical probes of RNA structure: a detailed protocol for the enzymatic synthesis of a complete set of nucleotides specifically deuterated at ribose carbons [PDF]
We describe here a detailed protocol for the synthesis of ribonucleotides specifically deuterated at each ribose carbon atom. We synthesized 20 specifically deuterated ribonucleotides: ATP, CTP, GTP, and UTP, each of which contained one of five ...

KATP Channel Openers Have Opposite Effects on Mitochondrial Respiration Under Different Energetic Conditions [PDF]
Mitochondrial (m) KATP channel opening has been implicated in triggering cardiac preconditioning. Its consequence on mitochondrial respiration, however, remains unclear. We investigated the effects of two different KATP channel openers and antagonists on
