Equilibrium Properties of E. coli Lactose Permease Symport -- A Random-walk Model Approach [PDF]
The symport of lactose and H+ is an important physiological process in E. coli, for it is closely related to cellular energy supply. In this paper, the symport of H+ and lactose by E. coli LacY protein is computationally simulated using a newly proposed cotransport model that takes the "leakage" phenomenon (uncoupled sugar translocation) into account ...

On the influence of water on THz vibrational spectral features of molecular crystals [PDF]
The nanoscale structure of molecular assemblies plays a major role in many ($\mu$)-biological mechanisms. Molecular crystals are one of the most simple of these assemblies and are widely used in a variety of applications from pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, to nutraceuticals and cosmetics.

Switching off: the phenotypic transition to the uninduced state of the lactose uptake pathway [PDF]
The lactose uptake-pathway of E. coli is a paradigmatic example of multistability in gene-regulatory circuits. In the induced state of the lac-pathway, the genes comprising the lac-operon are transcribed, leading to the production of proteins which import and metabolize lactose.

Lactose Intolerance and Bone Health: The Challenge of Ensuring Adequate Calcium Intake
Calcium is an important nutrient with impact upon many biological systems, most notably bone. Ensuring adequate calcium intake throughout the lifespan is essential to building and maintaining bone.

Globally, ∼70% of adults are deficient in intestinal lactase, the enzyme required for the digestion of lactose. In these individuals, the consumption of lactose-containing milk and dairy products can lead to the development of various gastrointestinal ...

Functional gastrointestinal symptoms are frequent, and may be driven by several pathogenic mechanisms. Symptoms may persist in lactose intolerant (LI) patients (i.e., subjects with intestinal lactase deficiency, lactose malabsorption producing symptoms),

Lactose Intolerance: Common Misunderstandings
Lactose intolerance primarily refers to a syndrome having different symptoms upon the consumption of foods containing lactose. It is one of the most common form of food intolerance and occurs when lactase activity is reduced in the brush border of the ...

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) shape gut microbiota during infancy by acting as fermentable energy source. Using a semi-continuous colon simulator, effect of an HMO, 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), on composition of the infant microbiota and microbial ...
