Salvage enzymes in nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
Balanced pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA, and ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), the precursors of RNA, are crucial for a controlled cell proliferation.

Selective [9‐15N] Guanosine for NMR Studies of Large RNAs
RNAs regulate various cellular processes using malleable 3D structures, and understanding the factors that control RNA structure and dynamics is critical for understanding their mechanisms of action. To mitigate factors that have limited studies of large, functionally relevant RNAs by solution NMR spectroscopy, we have extended a recently described 2H ...

Suppression of the biosynthesis of guanosine triphosphate by protein synthesis inhibitors.
In a prior report (Pike, L.M., Khym, J.X., Jones, M.H., Lee, W.H., and Volkin, E. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 3340-3347), it was observed that CTP synthesis and concomitant incorporation of CMP into RNA and dCMP into DNA were markedly reduced in cells cultured in the presence of cycloheximide and puromycin.

Characterisation of ERK distribution and activity in rat pheochromocytoma cells : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to the NGF receptor, TrkA, at the tips of nerve cell axons, sending a signal that prevents programmed cell death and causes survival, growth, and differentiation of the nerve cell.

Tailoring therapy for heart failure: the pharmacogenomics of adrenergic receptor signaling. [PDF]
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in Western countries, and β-blockers are a cornerstone of its treatment. However, the response to these drugs is variable among individuals, which might be explained, at least in part, by genetic ...

Light‐Responsive Mononucleotide Coacervates
Light‐responsive mononucleotide coacervates undergo reversible phase transitions via azobenzene photoisomerization. Coacervates with high‐valency azobenzenes remain stable under UV light, while those with low‐valency azobenzenes dissolve, enabling nucleotide release. This minimal system highlights the potential role of light for exploring energy‐driven

Shear-Induced Nitric Oxide Production by Endothelial Cells [PDF]
We present a biochemical model of the wall shear stress (WSS)-induced activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in an endothelial cell (EC). The model includes three key mechanotransducers: mechanosensing ion channels, integrins and G-protein-coupled receptors. The reaction cascade consists of two interconnected parts.

Peptide-enhanced mRNA transfection in cultured mouse cardiac fibroblasts and direct reprogramming towards cardiomyocyte-like cells. [PDF]
The treatment of myocardial infarction is a major challenge in medicine due to the inability of heart tissue to regenerate. Direct reprogramming of endogenous cardiac fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes via the delivery of transcription factor ...

Abstract A combination of nucleotide hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein (NS) 5B and 5A inhibitors is a preferred standard of care for treating chronic HCV. Bemnifosbuvir is a novel oral guanosine nucleotide prodrug with potent pan‐genotypic inhibitory activity against HCV NS5B.
