Peptide modulators of alpha‐glucosidase [PDF]

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2015
AbstractAims/IntroductionAcute glucose fluctuations during the postprandial period pose great risk for cardiovascular complications and thus represent an important therapeutic approach in type 2 diabetes. In the present study, screening of peptide libraries was used to select peptides with an affinity towards mammalian intestinal alpha‐glucosidase as ...

Alpha-glucosidase promotes hemozoin formation in a blood-sucking bug: an evolutionary history. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundHematophagous insects digest large amounts of host hemoglobin and release heme inside their guts. In Rhodnius prolixus, hemoglobin-derived heme is detoxified by biomineralization, forming hemozoin (Hz).

alfa e b-glucosidases como alvos moleculares para desenvolvimento de fármacos alpha and beta-glucosidases as molecular targets for drug development

Química Nova, 2006
Glucosidases are involved in key steps in the processing of oligosaccharides by cleaving O-glucose residues. Since they catalyze breaking and transfer reactions of glucosidic groups for the normal growth and development of all the cells, defects or ...

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of tomato glycoside hydrolase family 1 β-glucosidase genes in response to abiotic stresses

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2022
In plants, β-glucosidases (BGLUs) are important glycoside hydrolases involved in several biological phenomena, including the response to stresses via the activation of phytohormones and the release of alpha-hydroxy nitriles to protect against stresses ...
