Alpha-aminoisobutyric acid uptake in primary cultures of astrocytes [PDF]

Neurochemical Research, 1982
Homotypically pure cultures of rat brain astrocytes were used to examine some aspects of non-neuronal A-system (alanine preferring) amino acid uptake. The A-system specific probe, alpha-aminoisobutyric acid is transported rapidly, and a steady state distribution ratio of 9-25 is reached after 30 minute incubations. Kinetic estimates derived from uptake

Large‐Diameter DNA‐Scaffolded Nanopores Enabled by Loosely Packed Peptides for Single‐Molecule Sensing

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 29, 13 July 2026.
A nanopore composed of transmembrane peptides and a DNA scaffold that assists peptide assembly was constructed. By employing peptides containing the unnatural amino acid 2‐aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), which promotes loose packing between helices, a large‐diameter nanopore was achieved.

Solvent Effects on the Conformational Preferences of 2,6‐Pyridylcarboxamide Foldamers

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The marked effect of organic solvents and water/methanol mixtures on the conformational preferences of a soluble chiral foldamer has been established in a diverse array of seventeen distinct environments. ABSTRACT The marked influence of organic solvents and water on the conformational preferences of a chiral, soluble 2,6‐pyridylcarboxamide foldamer ...

Tetradecanuclear {Ni9Ln5} Clusters Featuring Encapsulated {Ln5} Trigonal Bipyramids: Modular 3d‐4f Architectures With Broad‐Range Magnetocaloric Response

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The use of 2‐aminoisobutyric acid in 3d–4f chemistry affords three {Ni₉Ln5} clusters, with the Gd analogue exhibiting an unusually broad magnetocaloric effect across an extended temperature range. ABSTRACT The solvothermal reaction between Ni(HCOO)2.2H2O, 2‐aminoisobutyric acid (aibH), Ln(OAc)3·4H2O (Ln = Gd, Y, Dy) and NEt3 in MeOH/MeCN affords the ...

Peptide Marriages: Modular Assembly of Multi‐Agonist Therapeutics

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A modular polyethylene glycol (PEG) scaffold enables rapid assembly of dual peptide agonists using strain‐promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) and copper‐catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and amylin agonists were combined with controlled valency, yielding low‐picomolar activity and receptor‐selective ...

Severe child form of primary hyperoxaluria type 2 - a case report revealing consequence of GRHPR deficiency on metabolism

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Primary hyperoxaluria type 2 is a rare monogenic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. It results from the absence of the enzyme glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR).

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

A Journey into the Blue: Current Knowledge and Emerging Insights into Marine-Derived Peptaibols

Marine Drugs
Peptaibols represent a large family of membrane-active, linear fungal peptides, with variable lengths from 5 to 21 α–amino acid residues. As products of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) biosynthetic machinery, they encompass several non ...

Utilization of glucose, alanine, lactate, and glycerol as lipogenic substrates by periuterine adipose tissue in situ in fed and starved rats.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
A technique previously used to study placental transfer in pregnant rats, consisting of labeled tracer infusion through the left uterine artery, was employed to determine the utilization of lipogenic substrates by periuterine adipose tissue in the fed ...
