Engineering Substrate Promiscuity of Nucleoside Phosphorylase Via an Insertions–Deletions Strategy
Nucleoside phosphorylases (NPs) are the key enzymes in the nucleoside metabolism pathway and are widely employed for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, which are difficult to access via conventional synthetic methods.

Variation in Gene Expression Across Infection Status and Elevation in a Hawaiian Honeycreeper
Introduced pathogens exert novel selection on hosts, and some hosts have adapted to highly virulent pathogens. We tested for differential gene expression between (i) avian malaria‐infected and ‐uninfected Hawai'i 'amakihi and (ii) low‐ and high‐elevation 'amakihi.

Descriptor-and fragment-based QSAR models for a series of Schistosoma mansoni purine nucleoside inhibitors [PDF]
The enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Schistosoma mansoni (SmPNP) is an attractive molecular target for the treatment of major parasitic infectious diseases, with special emphasis on its role in the discovery of new drugs against ...

The peeled Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit tubers were dried with the microwave vacuum drying oven. Then, its drying characteristics, contents of nucleosides, and surface microstructural alterations of dried samples were determined, respectively. Drying parameters were predicted and optimized using four different mathematical models and artificial ...

A UV/Vis Spectroscopy-Based Assay for Monitoring of Transformations Between Nucleosides and Nucleobases [PDF]
Efficient reaction monitoring is crucial for data acquisition in kinetic and mechanistic studies. However, for conversions of nucleosides to their corresponding nucleobases, as observed in enzymatically catalyzed nucleoside phosphorylation reactions, the

Viral Reprogramming of Nucleotide Synthesis and Its Impact on Viral Infection
ABSTRACT Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They also play essential roles in various other biological processes, including protein glycosylation, ribosome biogenesis, and cytoskeletal function. The significance of the regulation of nucleotide metabolism has recently gained more attention in many physiological and pathological contexts,

Nucleoside-dependent synthesis of organic phosphorus compounds by rat liver nuclei [PDF]
a) A modified procedure of the WIDNELL and TATA8 method yields rat liver nuclei manifesting a high degree of purity and activity. b) These nuclei contain a nucleoside-dependent phosphorylating activity that is readily released and apparently unrelated to

ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...
