Sensitivity of activated human lymphocytes to cyclosporine and its metabolites [PDF]
Alloreactive T cells generated as clones from mixed lymphocyte cultures, or propagated from heart or liver transplant biopsies, were tested for secondary proliferation measured in the primed lymphocyte test in the presence of Cyclosporine A and ...

Retinal glycoprotein enrichment by concanavalin a enabled identification of novel membrane autoantigen synaptotagmin-1 in equine recurrent uveitis. [PDF]
Complete knowledge of autoantigen spectra is crucial for understanding pathomechanisms of autoimmune diseases like equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), a spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. While several ERU autoantigens were identified previously,

Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...

Order independent structural alignment of circularly permuted proteins
Circular permutation connects the N and C termini of a protein and concurrently cleaves elsewhere in the chain, providing an important mechanism for generating novel protein fold and functions.

Block copolymer microcapsules with ultrathin, perpendicularly perforated membranes are developed through double emulsions, initiated by the diffusion of water into single emulsions. Both shell thickness and channel diameter can be systematically tuned, offering precision in molecular sieving and significantly enhanced permeation rates.

Computational insights into the circular permutation roles on ConA binding and structural stability
The mechanisms behind Concanavalin A (ConA) circular permutation have been under investigation since 1985. Although a vast amount of information is available about this lectin and its applications, the exact purpose of its processing remains unclear.

The development of a purification procedure for Peptide:n-Glycosidase A from Prunus amygdalus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Peptide-N4-acetyl-β-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidases cleave the amide bond between N-linked glycans at N-acetylglucosamine and asparagine, liberating intact oligosaccharide chains from glycoproteins. Although PNGase A is commonly used by glycobiologists

Chemical Approaches for Array Based Detection of Amyloids
Amyloids are protein aggregates with both pathological and functional roles. Their detection is challenged by structural polymorphism, isoform diversity, and dynamic aggregation behavior. This review presents chemical array‐based sensing strategies that address these complexities, emphasizing fluorescence and colorimetric methods, alongside ...
