Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

Comparison of glycosyl donors: a supramer approach
Beilstein Journal of Organic ChemistryThe development of new methods for chemical glycosylation commonly includes comparison of various glycosyl donors. An attempted comparison of chemical properties of two sialic acid-based thioglycoside glycosyl donors, differing only in the substituent at

Folding of Pig Gastric Mucin Non-glycosylated Domains: A Discrete Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Mucin glycoprotein consist of tandem repeating glycosylated regions flanked by non-repetitive protein domains with little glycosylation. These non-repetitive domains are involved in the pH dependent gelation of gastric mucin, which is essential to protecting the stomach from autodigestion.

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.The tetrasaccharide linkage region of proteoglycans is synthesized through a series of well‐controlled enzymatic reactions in nature. The expression, activity, and substrate profile of these biosynthetic enzymes and the latest development of chemoenzymatic synthesis of linkage region‐bearing glycopeptides are summarized in this review.

A method for the quantitative determination of neutral glycosphingolipids in urine sediment
Journal of Lipid Research, 1970 A method is described for the isolation and quantitation of six neutral glycosyl ceramides from human urinary sediment. Total lipids were extracted from sediments of 24-hr urine collections, and the glycosyl ceramides were isolated by silicic acid column

Accelerating Bayesian inference of dependency between complex biological traits [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Inferring dependencies between complex biological traits while accounting for evolutionary relationships between specimens is of great scientific interest yet remains infeasible when trait and specimen counts grow large. The state-of-the-art approach uses a phylogenetic multivariate probit model to accommodate binary and continuous traits via a latent ...

Coronatine-insensitive 1 (COI1) mediates transcriptional responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to external potassium supply [PDF]
, 2010 The ability to adjust growth and development to the availability of mineral nutrients in the soil is an essential life skill of plants but the underlying signaling pathways are poorly understood.

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.L‐Leu‐AMS‐based adenylation domain inhibitors with the modification of 2′‐OH in the adenosine skeleton are synthesized. Coupled with affinity‐based protein profiling of nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), their activities toward surfactin‐NRPSs in Bacillus subtilis are evaluated.
