Structural and functional studies of mycobacterial IspD enzymes
A number of pathogens, including the causative agents of tuberculosis and malaria, synthesize isopentenyl diphosphate via the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway rather than the classical mevalonate pathway found in humans. As part of a structure-based drug-discovery program against tuberculosis, IspD, the enzyme that carries out the ...

The Structure, Kinematics and Physical Properties of the Molecular Gas in the Starburst Nucleus of NGC 253 [PDF]
We present 5.2" x 2.6" resolution interferometry of CO J=1-0 emission from the starburst galaxy NGC 253. The high spatial resolution of these new data, in combination with recent high resolution maps of 13CO, HCN and near-infrared emission, allow us for ...

Identification, characterization and molecular adaptation of class I redox systems for the production of hydroxylated diterpenoids [PDF]
Background De novo production of multi-hydroxylated diterpenoids is challenging due to the lack of efficient redox systems. Results In this study a new reductase/ferredoxin system from Streptomyces afghaniensis (AfR·Afx) was identified, which allowed ...

Conditional targeting of Ispd using paired Cas9 nickase and a single DNA template in mice
CRISPR/Cas9 technology is a highly promising genome editing tool in the mouse, potentially overcoming the costs and time required for more traditional gene targeting methods in embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Challenges in optimizing tacrolimus therapy in patients treated with rifampin: A case series
Tacrolimus is a cornerstone immunosuppressant in transplantation medicine with a narrow therapeutic window. Drug–drug interactions with strong CYP3A4 and P‐glycoprotein modulators, such as rifampin and azole antifungals, significantly alter tacrolimus exposure and complicate therapy. Two transplant cases illustrates the impact of rifampin on tacrolimus

FFTPL: An Analytic Placement Algorithm Using Fast Fourier Transform for Density Equalization [PDF]
We propose a flat nonlinear placement algorithm FFTPL using fast Fourier transform for density equalization. The placement instance is modeled as an electrostatic system with the analogy of density cost to the potential energy.
