Structures of Epicatechin Gallate Trimer and Tetramer Produced by Enzymatic Oxidation [PDF]

, 2007
During black tea production, catechins and their galloyl esters are enzymatically oxidized to generate a complex mixture of black tea polyphenols. The role of galloyl ester groups in this process has yet to be determined.

Formation of A-type anthocyanin-epicatechin dimers by model reactions of anthocyanin extracts and epicatechin

LWT, 2021
Abstract A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) with health benefits such as prevention of urinary-tract infections are less common in food. Anthocyanins can directly condense with epicatechins to give rise to A-type anthocyanin-epicatechin dimers linked by C4–C8 and C2–O–C7 bonds, analogues of A-type PACs.

PXR is a target of (-)-epicatechin in skeletal muscle [PDF]

Heliyon, 2020
(-)-Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol that has shown numerous biological effects such as: decrease risk of cardiovascular dysfunction, metabolism regulation, skeletal muscle (SkM) performance improvement and SkM cells differentiation induction, among others. The described EC acceptor/receptor molecules do not explain the EC's effect on SkM. We hypothesize

Surfactant-free purification of membrane protein complexes from bacteria: application to the staphylococcal penicillin-binding protein complex PBP2/PBP2a. [PDF]

, 2014
Surfactant-mediated removal of proteins from biomembranes invariably results in partial or complete loss of function and disassembly of multi-protein complexes. We determined the capacity of styrene-co-maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to remove components of
