Schematic representation of the design. Tryptophan metabolism is enriched in serum metabolites and gut microbiota of centenarians, potentially contributing to healthy longevity. A key tryptophan metabolite 5‐methoxyindoleacetic acid (5‐MIAA) is linked to the Christensenellaceae R‐7 group and exhibits effects of delaying cell senescence, promoting ...

Is Amino-Acid Homochirality Due To Asymmetric Photolysis In Space? [PDF]
Amino acids occurring in proteins are, with rare exceptions, exclusively of the L-configuration. Among the many scenarios put forward to explain the origin of this chiral homogeneity (i.e., homochirality), one involves the asymmetric photolysis of amino acids present in space, triggered by circularly polarized UV radiation.

Association study of suicidal behavior and affective disorders with a genetic polymorphism in ABCG1, a positional candidate on chromosome 21q22.3 [PDF]
The gene that codes for the ABC transporter ABCG1 is located in a chromosomal susceptibility region (21q22.3) for affective disorders. Genetic variations in ABCG1 have been associated with affective disorders in Japanese males.

Abstract Background Patients with mutations in the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8, SLC16A2) suffer from X‐linked recessive Allan‐Herndon‐Dudley syndrome (AHDS), which is characterized by developmental delay and a severe movement disorder. Current trials using thyroid hormone derivatives to overcome the transporter defect have failed to achieve ...

Are Strong Bronsted Acids Necessarily Strong Lewis Acids? [PDF]
The Broensted and Lowry acid base theory is based on the capacity of proton donation or acceptance (in the presence or absence of a solvent) whereas the Lewis acid base theory is based on the propensity of electron pair acceptance or donation. We explore through DFT calculation the obvious question whether these two theories are in conformity with each

Catecholamine and serotonin are biogenic amines (BAs) that serve as neurotransmitters and play an important role in the regulation of cardinal functions that are mainly altered during central nervous system (CNS) infections.

ABSTRACT Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac ...

The Factors of the Classification of Protein Amino Acids [PDF]
In this work it is shown that three pairs of the factors appear to be the key, i.e. main factors of a natural classification of protein (canonical) amino acids within the amino acid (genetic) code. First pair: the factors of the habit of an amino acid molecule (size and polarity).

Background During biological aging, significant metabolic dysregulation in the central nervous system may lead to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. However, the metabolomics of the aging process in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has not been thoroughly
