Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Determining the Hydrophobicity Index of Protected Amino Acids and Common Protecting Groups
Separations, 2023 Peptides are in great demand in the pharmaceutical arena and a majority of these peptides contain 20 or more amino acids. They are infrequently synthesised using the fragment condensation approach. A key limitation in adopting this approach more commonly

Unusual fragmentation of derivatized cysteine‐containing peptides [PDF]
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2018 RationaleModification of cysteines by aminoethylation results in side chains similar to those of lysine. Trypsin cleaves at this modified residue and this labeling method can facilitate the analysis of proteins, specifically antibodies. In this work, the ability to identify peptides containing aminoethylated cysteines is investigated through digestion,

Dynorphin 1-17 and Its N-Terminal Biotransformation Fragments Modulate Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Nuclear Factor-kappa B Nuclear Translocation, Interleukin-1beta and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha in Differentiated THP-1 Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Dynorphin 1-17, (DYN 1-17) opioid peptide produces antinociception following binding to the kappa-opioid peptide (KOP) receptor. Upon synthesis and release in inflamed tissues by immune cells, DYN 1-17 undergoes rapid biotransformation and yields a ...

Coarse Molecular Dynamics of a Peptide Fragment: Free Energy, Kinetics, and Long-Time Dynamics Computations [PDF]
, 2002 We present a ``coarse molecular dynamics'' approach and apply it to studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of a peptide fragment dissolved in water. Short bursts of appropriately initialized simulations are used to infer the deterministic and stochastic components of the peptide motion parametrized by an appropriate set of coarse variables ...

Identification of Viral Peptide Fragments for Vaccine Development [PDF]
, 2009 We report a simple method for identifying foldable viral surface protein fragments in a random but systematic manner. The method involves digestion and reassembly of a target gene to generate a pool of smaller DNA fragments with random ends but controllable lengths, followed by screening for foldable fragments using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a
