Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

DWARF14, A Receptor Covalently Linked with the Active Form of Strigolactones, Undergoes Strigolactone-Dependent Degradation in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Strigolactones (SLs) are the latest confirmed phytohormones that regulate shoot branching by inhibiting bud outgrowth in higher plants. Perception of SLs depends on a novel mechanism employing an enzyme-receptor DWARF14 (D14) that hydrolyzes SLs and ...

Development of Photo‐Biocatalytic Redox System for Asymmetric Synthesis of Optically Active Amines Using Blue Light and Transaminases. A Case Study Toward Mavacamten

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
Abstract α‐Chiral amines are versatile building blocks for the asymmetric synthesis of optically pure high‐added‐value chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. Herein, we report a one‐pot, two‐step sequential deracemization of racemic sec‐alcohols to optically enriched primary amines throught a photo‐biocatalytic ...

Synthetic Mucus Biomaterials Synergize with Antibiofilm Agents to Combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Mucus‐inspired biomaterials are developed that inhibit biofilm formation and enhance dispersal when combined with DNase and/or α‐amylase. The combination led to up to 2‐log reductions in biofilm viability, offering a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics for treating persistent, antibiotic‐resistant infections.

Exploiting the Unique Properties of Lanthanide Complexes as FRET Probes: from Quantitation to Protein Dynamics

Analysis &Sensing, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Lanthanide complexes are ideal donors for FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) assays with a variety of applications from easy‐to‐use quantitation of proteins to sophisticated experiments giving real‐time information on the movement of proteins. This Review article introduces the principles of using such assays before surveying the full scope of ...

In silico modeling of the molecular structure and binding of leukotriene A4 into leukotriene A4 hydrolase [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
A combined molecular docking and molecular structure in silico analysis on the substrate and product of leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) was performed. The molecular structures of the substrate leukotriene A4 (LTA4) and product leukotirene B4 (LTB4) were studied through Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory

Multi‐omics analyses reveal the interaction between colonic microbiota and host in Min and Yorkshire pigs

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023
In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Endopeptidase Regulation as a Novel Function of the Zur-Dependent Zinc Starvation Response

mBio, 2019
The cell wall is a strong, yet flexible, meshwork of peptidoglycan (PG) that gives a bacterium structural integrity. To accommodate a growing cell, the wall is remodeled by both PG synthesis and degradation.
