Comparative study of the biological activities of the aqueous extracts of two spontaneous plants harvested in the Algerian Sahara [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The present study investigates the insecticidal and herbicidal effects of leaf extracts from two plants were harvested in the Northern Algerian Sahara. These are Cleome arabica (Capparaceae) and Pergularia tomentosa (Asclepiadaceae). The efficacy of the extracts from the plants was evaluated by the reflux extraction method.

Targeting Regulation of Macrophage to Treat Metabolic Disease: Role of Phytochemicals
Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.One‐third of the world's population is affected by metabolic syndrome. Complicated pathogenesis and limited drugs cause the growing prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Macrophage‐mediated metaflammation is closely associated with the development of metabolic syndrome. The role of phytochemicals targeting macrophages in the treatment of metabolic syndrome

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.A novel acetyl xylan esterase was discovered from Aspergillus oryzae. The deacetylase activity toward wheat arabinoxylan increased synergistically with xylanase addition. The crystal structure exhibited hybrid features between two α/β‐hydrolase families, highlighting its structural uniqueness.

How homogeneous are the trehalose, maltose and sucrose water solutions ? An Insight from Molecular Dynamics simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 The structural properties resulting from the reciprocal influence between water and three well-known homologous disaccharides, namely trehalose, maltose and sucrose, in aqueous solutions have been investigated in the 4-66 wt % concentration range by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations. Hydration numbers clearly show that trehalose binds to

N‐acetylglucosamine sensing in the filamentous soil fungus Trichoderma reesei
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is involved in diverse signaling pathways in dimorphic yeasts and bacteria, including virulence and cell death. Here, we investigated GlcNAc sensing in Trichoderma reesei. GlcNAc signaling influences around 2100 genes in this filamentous soil fungus.
