An all‐in‐one fucosylated gold nanocluster probe enables NIR‐II imaging and multi‐mechanistic therapy of acute kidney injury

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This study developed a fucoside‐targeted gold nanocluster probe that enables early NIR‐II imaging and multi‐mechanistic therapy for acute kidney injury, effectively mitigating oxidative stress, modulating inflammatory responses, and inhibiting ferroptosis to improve renal outcomes. Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a life‐threatening condition

Effect of L-fucose and fucose-rich polysaccharides on elastin biosynthesis, in vivo and in vitro

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2004
With increasing age elastic fibres in human skin are progressively lysed and skin elasticity is also decreasing. Still there is an age-dependent increase of elastic fibre surface density, mostly due to an alteration of the fibres. The present experiments were undertaken to explore if L-fucose and fucose-rich polysaccharides (FROP-s) could influence ...

Bioinorganic Site‐Specific Conjugation of Multi‐Arm Linkers to Create Pharmaceuticals With Targeting and Effector Functions

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This Account showcases a modular, multi‐arm linker platform that decouples payload loading from antibody conjugation. By leveraging a computationally designed ACPGHA zinc‐binding motif, we demonstrate the construction of homogeneous antibody‐drug conjugates and theranostic antibody‐radionuclide conjugates with high payload loading. The multi‐arm linker

Structure of the fucose mutarotase fromStreptococcus pneumoniaein complex withL-fucose [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology and Crystallization Communications, 2011
Streptococcus pneumoniaerelies on a variety of carbohydrate-utilization pathways for both colonization of its human host and full virulence during the development of invasive disease. One such pathway is the fucose-utilization pathway, a component of which is fucose mutarotase (SpFcsU), an enzyme that performs the interconversion between α-L-fucose and

Lewis fucose is a key moiety for the recognition of histo‐blood group antigens by GI.9 norovirus, as revealed by structural analysis

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Noroviruses have been identified as major causative agents of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Histo‐blood group antigens (HBGAs) are thought to play a major role among the host cellular factors influencing norovirus infection.

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...
