Cyclization of Fungal Nonribosomal Peptides by a Terminal Condensation-Like Domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cyclization of linear peptidyl precursors produced by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) is an important step in the biosynthesis of bioactive cyclic peptides. Whereas bacterial NRPSs use thioesterase (TE) domains to perform the cyclization, fungal

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Methanolysis of sphingomyelin: toward an epimerization-free methodology for the preparation of d-erythro-sphingosylphosphocholine

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
It is well known that acid hydrolysis of natural sphingomyelin in aqueous methanol or 1-butanol at refluxing temperature is accompanied by epimerization at the C-3 position of the long-chain base.

Energy Landscape of Alginate-Epimerase Interactions Assessed by Optical Tweezers and Atomic Force Microscopy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Mannuronan C-5 epimerases are a family of enzymes that catalyze epimerization of alginates at the polymer level. This group of enzymes thus enables the tailor-making of various alginate residue sequences to attain various functional properties, e.g ...

Asymmetric synthesis of 2-substituted oxetan-3-ones via metalated SAMP/RAMP hydrazones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
2-Substituted oxetan-3-ones can be prepared in good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 84% ee) by the metalation of the SAMP/RAMP hydrazones of oxetan-3-one, followed by reaction with a range of electrophiles that include alkyl, allyl, and benzyl ...

Epimerization of erythromycin derivatives.

open access: yesThe Journal of Antibiotics, 1990
Dirithromycin (3) isomerizes upon dissolution in different solvents. From X-ray analysis of V-T 108, an analogue of dirithromycin, and comparative 1H and 13C NMR, and MS data, the isomer of dirithromycin was confirmed to be the C-16-(S)-epimer. The ratio of the two epimers at equilibrium conditions was approximately 8:2 (R/S) in methanol at room ...

Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Stereodynamic Investigation of Labile Stereogenic Centres in Dihydroartemisinin

open access: yesMolecules, 2010
Since its identification in the early 1970s, artemisinin, as well as semi-synthetic derivatives and synthetic trioxanes, have been used in malaria therapy.
