Structure-Based Demystification of Radical Catalysis by a Coenzyme B12 Dependent Enzyme-Crystallographic Study of Glutamate Mutase with Cofactor Homologues. [PDF]
Glutamate mutase (GM) catalyses the interconversion of glutamate and 3‐methylaspartate. It binds its B12‐cofactor AdoCbl with an essential misfit for its Ado‐group, liberating the clamped down aggressive Ado‐radical in a tight reaction space to even promote “negative catalysis”. A “simply stretched” AdoCbl‐homolog, in contrast, fits GM, freezing up the

Engineered C-N Lyases for Stereoselective Synthesis of Tertiary Amines. [PDF]
EDDS lyase was subjected to iterative cycles of site‐saturation mutagenesis and screened for increased activity for the addition of 2‐((methylamino)methyl)aniline to fumarate. The final mutant, EDDS lyase CEA, accepts various N‐methyl‐1‐phenylmethanamines derivatives, yielding N,N‐disubstituted L‐aspartic acids, as well as several ortho‐substituted ...

Integrated Transcriptomic Analysis Provided Diagnostic and Pathophysiological Insights for Epilepsy. [PDF]
Background: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder involving multiple genes and molecular pathways. Study of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and hub genes related to epilepsy can help reveal the pathophysiologic basis and improve potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Creation of Environmentally Friendly Super “Dinitrotoluene Scavenger” Plants
This study presents a novel approach to developing environmentally friendly “dinitrotoluene scavengers” plants capable of efficiently degrading 2,4‐dinitrotoluene (2,4‐DNT) into harmless compounds while recovering ATP and acetyl‐CoA through the 2,4‐DNT degradative products.

Myeloid vitamin D receptor regulates Paneth cells and microbial homeostasis
Myeloid cells regulate crypt differentiation and the microbiota in a Vitamin D receptor (VDR)‐dependent mechanism. VDRΔLyz mice (without myeloid VDR) exhibited impaired Paneth cell, significant changes in the microbiota, and susceptibility to infection. Loss of myeloid VDR impaired Wnt secretion in macrophages, thus inhibiting crypt β‐catenin signaling

Abstract Maternal obesity (MO) during pregnancy is linked to increased and premature risk of age‐related metabolic diseases in the offspring. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain not fully understood. Using a well‐established nonhuman primate model of MO, we analyzed tissue biopsies and plasma samples obtained from post‐pubertal ...

Microfluidic devices for studying bacterial taxis, drug testing and biofilm formation
Microfluidics is an emerging technique that can complements current biological assays. Here, we review some key microfluidic‐based studies describing the effects of different microenvironmental conditions on bacterial phenotypes. We also highlight the potential and possibilities of using microfluidic‐based technology to study bacterial phenotypes in ...

EPSPs in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. II. Involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the generation of EPSPs [PDF]
1. Intracellular recordings were obtained from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. Single-electrode current- and voltage-clamp techniques were employed to compare the sensitivity of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and ...
