Polymeric and molecular amines embedded in hygroscopic matrices to facilitate CO2 transport for CO2/H2 separation. Abstract This work dealt with composite membranes comprising of polyvinylamine (PVAm) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for CO2/H2 separation via facilitated transport of CO2, where polymeric and ...

Crystallization and 1.6 Å resolution crystal structure of an acylated GLP‐1/GIP analogue peptide
The 1.6 Å resolution diffraction and subsequent structure solution of an acylated GLP‐1/GIP analogue lipopeptide is reported. This represents the first published data on the crystal structure of an unbound GLP‐1 and/or GIP analogue lipopeptide.With the meteoric rise in interest in GLP‐1 and GIP analogue peptides in recent years, there is a drive for ...

Front line defenders of the ecological niche! Screening the structural diversity of peptaibiotics from saprotrophic and fungicolous Trichoderma/Hypocrea species [PDF]
Approximately 950 individual sequences of nonribosomally biosynthesised peptides are produced by the genus Trichoderma/Hypocreathat belong to a perpetually growing class of mostly linear antibiotic oligopeptides, which are rich in the non-proteinogenic α-

Abstract Background Elevated branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs; leucine, valine, isoleucine) are linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, characterised by defective insulin secretion in pancreatic β‐cell and peripheral insulin resistance. Causative interaction between BCAA metabolism and these two diabetic pathogenesis remains unclear.

Characterizing the metabolic phenotype of intestinal villus blunting in Zambian children with severe acute malnutrition and persistent diarrhea [PDF]
Background: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is widespread throughout the tropics and in children is associated with stunting and other adverse health outcomes. One of the hallmarks of EED is villus damage.

ABSTRACT Objectives High glucose induces mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, contributing to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). There is increasing evidence that muscles play a protective role by secreting myokines into the kidneys. Here, we investigated how skeletal muscle influences podocyte health via muscle–kidney crosstalk.

Synthesis of Dehydrodipeptide and N-ethyl-dehydrodipeptide Derivatives with an α-Aminoisobutyric Acid Residue [PDF]
Several dipeptides with an N-benzyloxycarbonyl or an N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) α-aminoisobutyric acid residue and a β-hydroxyamino acid methyl ester were subjected to dehydration to form dehydrodipeptide derivatives.

Metabolomics-based biomarker discovery for bee health monitoring : a proof of concept study concerning nutritional stress in Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Bee pollinators are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the effects of a single stressor in the complex environmental context of antagonistic/synergistic interactions is critical to pollinator monitoring and may serve ...
