Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

We present the first solution structure of the Ca2+‐depleted LETM1 F‐EF‐hand through a D676A/N678A Ca2+ binding‐deficient mutant, revealing a closed hydrophobic cleft caused by a unique F1‐helix pivot. The apo LETM1 F‐EF‐hand exhibits regiospecific hot and cold unfolding, sensitivity to physiological pH changes and potential for promiscuous heterotypic

The Activity of a Thiadiazole on Mycobacterium leprae
SummaryA new broad-spectrum antimicrobial, 2-amino-5-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imi-dazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, reported inactive against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, inhibited multiplication of M. leprae in the mouse foot pad when administered orally to the mice.

Deciphering a Sleeping Pathogen: Uncovering Novel Transcriptional Regulators of Hypoxia-Induced Dormancy in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis [PDF]
Along the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB), hypoxia-induced dormancy is a process involving the oxygen-depleted environment encountered inside the lung granuloma, where bacilli enter a viable, non-replicating state termed as latency. Affecting nearly two billion people, latent TB can linger in the host for indefinite periods of time ...

Achieving Optimal Health With Host‐Directed Therapies (HDTs) in Infectious Diseases—A New Horizon
Host‐directed therapies (HDTs) represent a transformative approach in infectious disease management by targeting host factors to enhance immune responses and inhibit viral replication. This innovative strategy leverages advanced genomics and gene editing technologies, offering promising avenues for improved patient outcomes and a new horizon in ...

Studies of Lipoproteins of Mycobacterium leprae
The deciphering of the genomic sequence of Mycobacterium leprae has made possible to predict the possible lipoproteins. The consensus sequence at the N-terminal region of the protein, including the cysteine residue to which the lipid moiety gets attached, provides a clue to the search.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Curcuma longa flower extract and antibacterial activity [PDF]
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP's) possess inherent biological potentials that have obliged an alternative, eco-friendly, sustainable approach to "Green Synthesis." In the present study, we synthesized Green Silver Nanoparticles (GAgNP's) using Curcuma longa L. (C. longa) flower extract as a reducing and capping agent.
