Metabolic engineering of the purine biosynthetic pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum results in increased intracellular pool sizes of IMP and hypoxanthine [PDF]
Background: Purine nucleotides exhibit various functions in cellular metabolism. Besides serving as building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis, they participate in signaling pathways and energy metabolism.

Deamination of the nucleobases in DNA and RNA is a result of spontaneous hydrolysis, endogenous or environmental factors as well as deaminase enzymes. Adenosine is deaminated to inosine which is miscoding and preferentially base pairs with cytosine. In the case of DNA, this is a premutagenic event that is counteracted by DNA repair enzymes specifically

Immunosuppressants and risk of Parkinson disease [PDF]
We performed a population-based case-control study of United States Medicare beneficiaries age 60-90 in 2009 with prescription data (48,295 incident Parkinson disease cases and 52,324 controls) to examine the risk of Parkinson disease in relation to use ...

Structural Probes in Quadruplex Nucleic Acid Structure Determination by NMR
Traditionally, isotope-labelled DNA and RNA have been fundamental to nucleic acid structural studies by NMR. Four-stranded nucleic acid architectures studies increasingly benefit from a plethora of nucleotide conjugates for resonance assignments, the ...

Comparative analysis of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 spores obtained at different temperatures [PDF]
The impact of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 sporulation temperature history was assessed on spore heat resistance, germination and outgrowth capacity at a temperature range from 7 to 30 °C. Sporulation rate and efficiency decreased at low temperature,

Upregulation of inducible NO synthase by exogenous adenosine in vascular smooth muscle cells activated by inflammatory stimuli in experimental diabetes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adenosine has been shown to induce nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Although this is interpreted as a beneficial vasodilating pathway in vaso-occlusive disorders,

Endonuclease V is highly conserved, both structurally and functionally, from bacteria to humans, and it cleaves the deoxyinosine-containing double-stranded DNA in Escherichia coli, whereas in Homo sapiens it catalyses the inosine-containing single ...

NMR Quantum Logic Gates for Homonuclear Spin Systems [PDF]
If NMR systems are to be used as practical quantum computers, the number of coupled spins will need to be so large that it is not feasible to rely on purely heteronuclear spin systems.

Genotoxicity and mutagenicity of inosine pranobex [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Inosine pranobex (Methisoprinol, ISO, Isoprinosine) is an immuno-modulatory antiviral drug that has been licensed since 1971 in several countries worldwide. In humans, the drug is approved for the treatment of viral infections, and it might also have therapeutic use in animals ...
