Nutritionally recommended food for semi- to strict vegetarian diets based on large-scale nutrient composition data [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports 8:4344 (2018), 2018
Diet design for vegetarian health is challenging due to the limited food repertoire of vegetarians. This challenge can be partially overcome by quantitative, data-driven approaches that utilise massive nutritional information collected for many different foods. Based on large-scale data of foods' nutrient compositions, the recent concept of nutritional

New analogues of leucine-methionine-enkephalin

open access: yesJournal of Biosciences, 1988
Nine analogues of the opioid pentapeptides leucine-/ methionine-enkephalinamide, involving replacement of amino acid at position 5 or amino acids at positions 2 and 5, have been synthesized by the solid phase method using mainly 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amino acid trichlorophenyl esters in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, the solid support ...

Methionine enkephalin (MENK) improves lymphocyte subpopulations in human peripheral blood of 50 cancer patients by inhibiting regulatory T cells (Tregs)

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2014
MENK, a penta-peptide is considered as being involved in the regulatory feedback loop between the immune and neuroendocrine systems, with marked modulation of various functions of human immune cells.

Multi-physics Extension of OpenFMO Framework

open access: yes, 2007
OpenFMO framework, an open-source software (OSS) platform for Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method, is extended to multi-physics simulations (MPS). After reviewing the several FMO implementations on distributed computer environments, the subsequent ...

Stress influences brain enkephalinase, oxytocinase and angiotensinase activities: a new hypothesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Brain enkephalin and oxytocin are anxiolytic agents involved in the response mechanism to stress. Degrading enzymes such as enkephalinase and oxytocinase could also be associated with this response.

Rh‐Catalyzed Hydroamination of Allenes: Asymmetric N‐Allylation of Amino Acids and Peptides

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 9, 2024.
A rhodium‐catalyzed, atom‐economic method for the branched‐selective hydroamination of terminal allenes with α‐amino acid esters is reported. High levels of enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity were achieved by using commercially available ligands, with complete catalyst control demonstrated in several products.

Human hepatic met-enkephalin and delta opioid receptor-1 immunoreactivities in viral and autoimmune hepatitis

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2008
Endogenous opioids participate in growth regulation. Liver regeneration relates to growth. Thus, we explored the expression of methionine enkephalin and of the delta opioid receptor 1 immunoreactivities with a polyclonal rabbit antibody in deparaffinized

Comparative Study of Multicanonical and Simulated Annealing Algorithms in the Protein Folding Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We compare a few variants of the recently proposed multicanonical method with the well known simulated annealing for the effectiveness in search of the energy global minimum of a biomolecular system. For this we study in detail Met-enkephalin, one of the simplest peptides.

Electromembrane extraction of peptides based on charge, hydrophobicity, and size – A large‐scale fundamental study of the extraction window

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 47, Issue 15, August 2024.
This study investigated the capability of electromembrane extraction (EME) as a general technique for peptides, by extracting complex pools of peptides comprising in total of 5953 different substances, varying in size from seven to 16 amino acids. Electromembrane extraction was conducted from a sample adjusted to pH 3.0 and utilized a liquid membrane ...
