Mechanisms linking colorectal cancer to the consumption of (processed) red meat : a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. The vast majority of CRC cases have been linked to environmental causes rather than to heritable genetic changes.

Unraveling the Role of Heme in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Heme (iron-protoporphyrin IX) is an essential co-factor involved in several biological processes, including neuronal survival and differentiation. Nevertheless, an excess of free-heme promotes oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, thus leading to cell

A Glucose‐Responsive Intelligent Antibacterial and Oxygen‐Producing Hydrogel Promotes the Healing of Diabetic Wounds by Regulating Cellular Heterogeneity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We have developed a glucose‐triggered on‐demand drug delivery CF‐CPGaMPN hydrogel based on borate ester bonds. It inactivates microbes, releases oxygen, and enables on‐demand drug release in high‐glucose environments to promote healing of diabetic wounds. Single‐cell sequencing reveals that the CF‐CPGaMPN hydrogel significantly alleviates dysfunctional

Cryo‐EM Structures Reveal the Molecular Basis of Asymmetric Allosteric Activation by MMOB in the Hydroxylase of Soluble Methane Monooxygenase

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis reveals an asymmetric MMOH–MMOB complex with distinct protomers, where MMOB binding triggers structural rearrangements from the surface to the active site. This conformational asymmetry shortens the Fe···Fe distance to 2.7 Å in one protomer, forming a geometry suitable for O2 activation and supporting a sequential catalytic mechanism ...

Spin-filtering and Disorder Induced Giant Magnetoresistance in Carbon Nanotubes: Ab Initio Calculations

open access: yes, 2011
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes can provide reactive sites on the porphyrin-like defects. It's well known that many porphyrins have transition metal atoms, and we have explored transition metal atoms bonded to those porphyrin-like defects in N-doped ...

Simulation of Laser Beam Propagation With a Paraxial Model in a Tilted Frame [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We study the Schr\"odinger equation which comes from the paraxial approximation of the Helmholtz equation in the case where the direction of propagation is tilted with respect to the boundary of the domain.

A pH Dependant Switch in DHP Oxidation Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) is a multifunctional enzyme found in Amphitrite ornata, a sediment-dwelling marine worm. This enzyme possess the structure of a traditional hemoglobin enzyme and serves as the primary oxygen carrier in A.

Enzymatic functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The development of new catalytic methods to functionalize carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds continues to progress at a rapid pace due to the significant economic and environmental benefits of these transformations over traditional synthetic methods.

Heme and immunity: The heme oxygenase dichotomy

open access: yesJournal of Inorganic Biochemistry
Heme, an iron containing organic ring, is required for a diverse range of biological processes across all forms of life. Although this nutrient is essential, its pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties can lead to cellular damage. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored enzyme that degrades heme, releasing equimolar amounts ...

Heme proteins: Hemoglobin [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1974
Progress in understanding structure and function of heme proteins has been so great during the past ten years that it is difficult to review it with any completeness*. The field has been and still is among the most active ones in Biochemistry not only for the physiological interest but also because heme proteins, particularly hemoglobin, have been ...
