Photoelectrocatalytic detection of NADH on n-type silicon semiconductors facilitated by carbon nanotube fibers [PDF]
, 2021 NADH is a key biomolecule involved in many biocatalytic processes as cofactor and its quantification can be correlated to specific enzymatic activity. Many efforts have been taken to obtain clean electrochemical signals related to NADH presence and lower its redox overpotential to avoid interferences. Suppression of background and secondary signals can

Immunosuppressants and risk of Parkinson disease [PDF]
, 2018 We performed a population-based case-control study of United States Medicare beneficiaries age 60-90 in 2009 with prescription data (48,295 incident Parkinson disease cases and 52,324 controls) to examine the risk of Parkinson disease in relation to use ...

Isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations in gliomas.
Neuro-Oncology, 2016 Over the last decade, extraordinary progress has been made in elucidating the underlying genetic causes of gliomas. In 2008, our understanding of glioma genetics was revolutionized when mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) were ...

Network Analysis of Biochemical Logic for Noise Reduction and Stability: A System of Three Coupled Enzymatic AND Gates [PDF]
J. Phys. Chem. B 113, 5301--5310 (2009), 2008 We develop an approach aimed at optimizing the parameters of a network of biochemical logic gates for reduction of the "analog" noise buildup. Experiments for three coupled enzymatic AND gates are reported, illustrating our procedure. Specifically, starch - one of the controlled network inputs - is converted to maltose by beta-amylase.

The Regulation and Function of Lactate Dehydrogenase A: Therapeutic Potential in Brain Tumor
Brain Pathology, 2015 There are over 120 types of brain tumor and approximately 45% of primary brain tumors are gliomas, of which glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive with a median survival rate of 14 months.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status in glioma using structural brain networks and graph neural networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Glioma is a common malignant brain tumor with distinct survival among patients. The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation provides critical diagnostic and prognostic value for glioma. It is of crucial significance to non-invasively predict IDH mutation based on pre-treatment MRI.

E2F1 Suppresses Oxidative Metabolism and Endothelial Differentiation of Bone Marrow Progenitor Cells [PDF]
, 2018 RATIONALE: The majority of current cardiovascular cell therapy trials use bone marrow progenitor cells (BM PCs) and achieve only modest efficacy; the limited potential of these cells to differentiate into endothelial-lineage cells is one of the major ...

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...
