Natural pigments derived from plants and microorganisms: classification, biosynthesis, and applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 592-614, February 2025.
Summary Pigments, as coloured secondary metabolites, endow the world with a rich palette of colours. They primarily originate from plants and microorganisms and play crucial roles in their survival and adaptation processes. In this article, we categorize pigments based on their chemical structure into flavonoids, carotenoids, pyrroles, quinones ...

Critical evaluation of HPV16 gene copy number quantification by SYBR green PCR

BMC Biotechnology, 2008
Background Human papilloma virus (HPV) load and physical status are considered useful parameters for clinical evaluation of cervical squamous cell neoplasia. However, the errors implicit in HPV gene quantification by PCR are not well documented.

FiTMuSiC: leveraging structural and (co)evolutionary data for protein fitness prediction

Human Genomics
Systematically predicting the effects of mutations on protein fitness is essential for the understanding of genetic diseases. Indeed, predictions complement experimental efforts in analyzing how variants lead to dysfunctional proteins that in turn can ...

Acute intermittent porphyria in a resource-limited setting: diagnostic pitfalls and emerging therapeutic perspectives

Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), leading to accumulation of neurotoxic heme precursors. Its protean neurovisceral manifestations and the possibility of
