The X-ray structure of carboxypeptidase a inhibited by a thiirane mechanism-based ihibitor [PDF]
The three-dimensional X-ray crystal structure of carboxypeptidase A, a zinc-dependent hydrolase, covalently modified by a mechanism-based thiirane inactivator, 2-benzyl-3,4-epithiobutanoic acid, has been solved to 1.38 Å resolution.

Sambandet mellan αs1-kasein, proteolytisk aktivitet och sammansättning i mjölk från svenska getter [PDF]
In the recent decade, locally produced food has gained in interest among Swedish consumers. Consumer values for buying local food has to do with concerns about diversity, purity and authenticity of food as well as a desire to support rural areas.

Mechanism of Inactivation of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 by a Small Molecule Inhibitor [PDF]
The inactivation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) by the small molecule PAI-1 inhibitor PAI-039 (tiplaxtinin) has been investigated using enzymatic analysis, direct binding studies, site-directed mutagenesis, and molecular modeling studies.

Modes of invasion during tumour dissemination
This Review gives an overview of cell migration mechanisms and describes the different individual and collective modes of invasion, the plasticity that enables cancer cells to switch between modes, and the determinants of this plasticity. Therapeutic challenges arising from migratory plasticity and the potential targets that could block completely ...

A specific plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 antagonist derived from inactivated urokinase
AbstractFibrinolysis is a process responsible for the dissolution of formed thrombi to re‐establish blood flow after thrombus formation. Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) inhibits urokinase‐type and tissue‐type plasminogen activator (uPA and tPA) and is the major negative regulator of fibrinolysis.

Low-affinity heparin stimulates the inactivation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 by thrombin [PDF]
The influence of heparin on the reaction between thrombin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been examined. With a 50- fold excess of PAI-1, the rate constant for the inhibition of thrombin was 458 mol/L-1s-1, which increased to 5,000 mol/L-1s-1 in the presence of 25 micrograms/mL unfractionated heparin or heparin with low affinity for ...

The endothelium is the primary target for biochemical or mechanical injuries caused by the putative risk factors of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction represents the ultimate link between atherosclerotic risk factors that promote atherosclerosis.

The Emerging Role of TLR and Innate Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is a complex disorder involving multiple pathophysiological processes, several of which involve activation of toll‐like receptors (TLRs) of the innate immune system. As sentinels of innate immunity TLRs are nonclonally germline‐encoded molecular pattern recognition receptors that recognize exogenous as well as tissue‐derived ...

The Inhibitory Effect of siRNAs on The High Glucose-Induced Overexpression of TGF-β1 in Mesangial Cells [PDF]
Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by an expansion of the glomerular mesangium, caused by mesangial cell proliferation and an excessive accumulation of extracellar matrix (ECM) proteins, which eventually leading to glomerulosclerosis. TGF-β1 was found

Rapid inactivation of the plasminogen-activator inhibitor upon secretion from cultured human endothelial cells [PDF]
In conditioned medium (CM) from cultured human endothelial cells, two forms of plasminogen-activator inhibitor (PA-inhibitor) can be demonstrated: a fast-acting active form and an immunologically related, inactive form. Evidence is presented that endothelial cells produce active PA-inhibitor which is rapidly inactivated upon secretion into the medium ...
