Inhibition of CD38/Cyclic ADP-ribose Pathway Protects Rats against Ropivacaine-induced Convulsion
Background: The CD38/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) pathway plays a role in various central nervous system diseases and in morphine tolerance, but its role in local anesthetic intoxication is unknown.

Screening for Diguanylate Cyclase (DGC) Inhibitors Mitigating Bacterial Biofilm Formation
The majority of bacteria in the natural environment organize themselves into communal biofilms. Biofilm formation benefits bacteria conferring resistance to harmful molecules (e.g., antibiotics, disinfectants, and host immune factors) and coordinating ...

Characterisation of the flavin adenine dinucleotide binding region in Myxococcus xanthus protoporphyrinogen oxidase [PDF]
This dissertation focuses on protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPOX), the penultimate enzyme in the haem biosynthetic pathway. Partial defects in PPOX result in variegate porphyria, an autosomal dominant disorder.

Development of RNA Sensors for Cyclic Dinucleotide Second Messengers in Bacteria [PDF]
Second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules that enable cells to respond to environmental changes by relaying signals received at the cell surface to enact downstream physiological effects.
