Biochemistry of Human Axilla Malodor and Chemistry of Deodorant Ingredients
CHIMIA, 2007 Key human axilla malodorants are hexenoic acid (3) and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-hexanoic acid (5), accompanied by some 25 structurally related hydroxyalkanoic acids and alkenoic acids.

Protein-protein interactions of human somatic angiotensin-converting enzyme [PDF]
, 2011 In this study, novel disulphide bridges were engineered into the linker region of ACE [Angiotensin-converting enzyme] in an attempt to limit inter-domain movement, thereby producing a candidate for crystallisation and to determine the effect of these ...

Aromatase Activity and Bone Loss in Men
Journal of Osteoporosis, 2011 Aromatase is a specific component of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system responsible for the transformation of androgen precursors into estrogens. This enzyme is encoded by the CYP19A1 gene located at chromosome 15q21.2, that is, expressed in ovary and ...

The role of human Dicer-dsRBD in processing small regulatory RNAs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 One of the most exciting recent developments in RNA biology has been the discovery of small non-coding RNAs that affect gene expression through the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism.

Enzymic formation of esters of methyl sterol precursors of cholesterol
Journal of Lipid Research, 1971 For investigation of the reactions of cholesterol biosynthesis, a number of workers use the 10,000 g supernatant fraction (or similar preparations) obtained from cell-free homogenates of rat liver. We have found that esters of methyl sterol biosynthetic intermediates are formed by this crude source of enzymes. Esters of C(30)-, C(29)-, C(28)-, and C(27)

HS1BP3 negatively regulates autophagy by modulation of phosphatidic acid levels
Nature Communications, 2016 Autophagy must be tightly controlled at each step of the process. Here the authors show that HS1BP3 binds phosphatidic acid (PA) at autophagosome precursors and negatively regulates autophagosome formation by modulating the activity and localization of ...

Melatonin, its precursors, and synthesizing enzyme activities in the human ovary [PDF]
Molecular Human Reproduction, 1999 The presence of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) and its precursors, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and N-acetylserotonin, was demonstrated in extracts of human ovary using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorometric detection.

Processing of the Human Heparanase Precursor and Evidence That the Active Enzyme Is a Heterodimer [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Human platelet heparanase has been purified to homogeneity and shown to consist of two, non-covalently associated polypeptide chains of molecular masses 50 and 8 kDa. Protein sequencing provided the basis for determination of the full-length cDNA for this novel protein. Based upon this information and results from protein analysis and mass spectrometry,

Structure-activity relationships of synthetic analogs of jasmonic acid and coronatine on induction of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid accumulation in Eschscholzia californica cell cultures [PDF]
, 2000 A facile test system based on the accumulation of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids in Eschscholzia californica cell suspension culture (an indicator of defense gene activation) has been used to analyze a series of synthetic compounds for elicitor-like ...
