Emissive Synthetic Cofactors: A Highly Responsive NAD+ Analogue Reveals Biomolecular Recognition Features [PDF]
Apart from its vital function as a redox cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) has emerged as a crucial substrate for NAD+ -consuming enzymes, including poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferase 1 (PARP1) and CD38/CD157.

Saporin, a type I ribosome-inactivating protein from soapwort plant, is a potent protein synthesis inhibitor. Catalytically, saporin is a characteristic N-glycosidase, and it depurinates a specific adenine residue from a universally conserved loop of the

Ureide biogenesis and the enzymes of ammonia assimilation and ureide biosynthesis in nitrogen fixing pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) nodules [PDF]
Allantoic acid production from IMP, XMP, inosine, xanthosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid and allantoin was investigated by incubating each of these substrates withCajanus cajan cytosol and bacteroid fractions separately in the presence and absence

Regulation of Key Immune-Related Genes in the Heart Following Burn Injury
Immune cascade is one of major factors leading to cardiac dysfunction after burn injury. TLRs are a class of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) that initiate the innate immune response by sensing conserved molecular patterns for early immune ...

Cytogenomic Integrative Network Analysis of the Critical Region Associated with Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome [PDF]
Deletions in the 4p16.3 region are associated with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), a contiguous gene deletion syndrome involving variable size deletions. In this study, we perform a cytogenomic integrative analysis combining classical cytogenetic methods,

Exploiting Cell-Free Systems: Implementation and Debugging of a System of Biotransformations [PDF]
The orchestration of a multitude of enzyme catalysts allows cells to carry out complex and thermodynamically unfavorable chemical conversions. In an effort to recruit these advantages for in vitro biotransformations, we have assembled a 10-step catalytic

Context‐Dependent Chemoselectivity of Aromatic C‐Methyltransferases
Chemoselectivity is context‐dependent: The SAM‐dependent C‐MTs SfmM2 and NapB5 from streptomycetes catalyze the C‐ and/or O‐dimethylation of aromatic substrates, including l‐tyrosine and flavonoids. C‐methylation activity requires precise substrate recognition and positioning to ensure proximity between the target carbon nucleophile and the methyl ...

N‐alkylated heteroarenes are key structural motifs in bioactive compounds, but their regioselective synthesis via coupling of readily available azoles with haloalkanes remains very challenging. Here, we present a mild biocatalytic approach that proceeds on gram‐scale, is highly chemo‐ and regioselective, offering rapid access to valuable N‐alkylated ...
