Control of vertebrate skeletal mineralization by polyphosphates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Skeletons are formed in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions of organic and mineral components. Many invertebrate skeletons are constructed from carbonate or silicate minerals, whereas vertebrate skeletons are instead composed of ...

Bacterial polyphosphates interfere with the innate host defense to infection
Nature Communications, 2020 Production of polyphosphate polymers is a ubiquitous trait of bacteria. Here, the authors investigate the role of bacterial long polyphosphates in host immune suppression and show that long polyphosphates produced by E.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Effects of polyphosphates on frozen chickens. [PDF]
The main objective of this work was to study the antioxidant properties of polyphosphates in frozen chickens, which were obtained during supervised factory trials, and to propose reasons for this effect.

Gels, 2023 The aim of this research was to develop and characterize the chemical and cellular-viability properties of an experimental high-concentration bleaching gel (35 wt%-H2O2) containing calcium-polyphosphate particles (CaPP) at two concentrations (0.5 wt% and

Polyphosphate and acidocalcisomes [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2016 Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) accumulates in acidocalcisomes, acidic calcium stores that have been found from bacteria to human cells. Proton pumps, such as the vacuolar proton pyrophosphatase (V-H+-PPase or VP1), the vacuolar proton ATPase (V-H+-ATPase) or both, maintain their acidity.

Phosphorylation of Hyaluronic Acid
Chemistry Proceedings, 2022 Chemical phosphorylation of hyaluronic acid (HA) remains an unresolved problem for the chemistry of this unique polysaccharide, since convenient phosphorylating reagents are not reactive enough to obtain HA phosphates (HA-P) with a satisfactory degree of

The chemistry of branched condensed phosphates
Nature Communications, 2021 The “anti-branching rule”, introduced in 1950, excludes branched polyphosphates from biological relevance due to their supposedly rapid hydrolysis.
