Beta-glucosidase activity in pasture soils

, 2002
β-Glucosidase is involved in the degradation of cellulose in soils and has potential for monitoring biological soil quality. We assayed β-glucosidase activity in 29 permanent grassland soils from England and Wales with contrasting physico-chemical and ...

Pentacylic triterpenes from Lavandula coronopifolia: structure related inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase

, 2019
Ten pentacyclic triterpenes (1-10) were isolated from Lavandula coronopifolia. We evaluated their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and found that the aglycones, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 showed superior IC50 values to the positive control.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.
