Weekly irinotecan in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer on hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure [PDF]
Background: The cytotoxic treatment of patients suffering from advanced or metastatic cancer undergoing hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure still remains a problem, since for those patients pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data on most cytotoxic

Heterologous expression and characterization of a malathion-hydrolyzing carboxylesterase from a thermophilic bacterium, Alicyclobacillus tengchongensis [PDF]
A carboxylesterase gene from thermophilic bacterium, Alicyclobacillus tengchongensis, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The gene coded for a 513 amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 57.82 kDa.

Characterizing fruit ripening in plantain and Cavendish bananas: A proteomics approach [PDF]
The fruit physiology of banana cultivars other than Cavendish is poorly understood. To study the ripening process, samples were taken daily from plantain and Cavendish bananas and the ripening stages were determined. We present data from the green to the

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...
