The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Na+ selective structural switch from an intramolecular triplex to tetrad stabilised by non-canonical mispairs in double repeat of Arabidopsis thaliana telomere (T3AG3)2

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
DNA is polymorphic, as with four nucleobases, it can be configured in a number of secondary structures. The four-stranded DNA structures consisting of G-tetrads have especially been intriguing because of their proven existence in human cells.

Thermostable neutral metalloprotease from Geobacillus sp. EA1 does not share thermolysin's preference for substrates with leucine at the P1′ position

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Knowing how proteases recognise preferred substrates facilitates matching proteases to applications. The S1′ pocket of protease EA1 directs cleavage to the N‐terminal side of hydrophobic residues, particularly leucine. The S1′ pocket of thermolysin differs from EA's at only one position (leucine in place of phenylalanine), which decreases cleavage ...

Towards improved anticancer properties of the G-quadruplex-forming T40231 aptamer through increased flexibility of nucleoside residues

Scientific Reports
In this article, the T40231 aptamer, an anticancer agent, originally known for its ability to inhibit STAT3, was altered with UNAs to enhance its flexibility in the loops or G-tetrads.

Effect of Steric Constraint at the γ-Backbone Position on the Conformations and Hybridization Properties of PNAs

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2011
Conformationally preorganized peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have been synthesized through backbone modifications at the γ-position, where R = alanine, valine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine side chains. The effects of these side-chains on the conformations

A New Method for the Determination of Nucleic Acid Using an Eu3+– nicotinic Acid Complex as a Resonance Light Scattering Probe [PDF]

, 2008
This study found that in Tris-HCl buffer, the resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity of the Eu3+-nicotinic acid system can be greatly enhanced by nucleic acids and the enhanced intensity is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acid in the ...
