Several natural components abundant in the fluid phase of human breast‐milk have been shown to be inhibitors of complement activation in vitro, particularly the classical pathway. These include lysozyme, lactoferrin, lactalbumin alpha and other ligand chelators, complement regulator proteins and other specific soluble inhibitors of complement ...

Inactivation of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) in Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) by acetylene [PDF]
Acetylene (HCCH) has a long history as a mechanism-based enzyme inhibitor and is considered an active-site probe of the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO).

Studies on Human Complement: The Relationship of C3, C5, ß1c and ß1a
Nine proteins of the complement system have been isolated from isolectric focusing columns. The pI values were: C1, 4.99; C4, 6.40; C2, 5.52; C3, 5.75; C5, 4.10; C6, 6.00; C7, 5.59; C8, 5.60 and 6.50; and C9, 4.72. Recovery was between 50% and 100% for

A Computational and Experimental Study of the Regulatory Mechanisms of the Complement System [PDF]
The complement system is key to innate immunity and its activation is necessary for the clearance of bacteria and apoptotic cells. However, insufficient or excessive complement activation will lead to immune-related diseases. It is so far unknown how the

Polyhalogenated Carbohydrates: Synthesis and Applications of Sugar Halides from Fluorine to Iodine
The societal importance of sucralose (a trichlorinated disaccharide) doesn't fade over time. This review focuses on the synthesis and applications of polyhalogenated carbohydrates incorporating fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine atoms. An overview of the current state of the art of sugar inter‐halides is also presented.

Biomolecular Corona of Gold Nanoparticles: The Urgent Need for Strong Roots to Grow Strong Branches
This review presents a critical analysis of the current methodologies to decipher bio‐nano interactions by analyzing the biomolecular corona using gold nanoparticles as a case study. The study aims for a collective effort of the nano‐community through standardization of methodologies (for synthesis, characterization, and omics), data sharing, and ...

THE DERIVATION OF TWO DISTINCT ANAPHYLATOXIN ACTIVITIES FROM THE THIRD AND FIFTH COMPONENTS OF HUMAN COMPLEMENT [PDF]
Anaphylatoxin activity was derived from both human C'5 and C'3 molecules. This was achieved in the case of C'5 by interaction with trypsin or with EAC'4, oxy2a, 3.

Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a rare disease entity characterized by nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation in the oral and maxillofacial regions, typically characterized by recurrent or persistent edema, primarily in the lips and occasionally in the gingiva. OFG is often associated with Crohn’s disease and sarcoidosis, and an accurate diagnosis
