Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies: new therapeutical point of view
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies (PDEs) are rare autosomal recessive disorders with onset in neonatal period. Seizures are typically not responsive to conventional antiepileptic drugs, but they cease after parental pyridoxine administration.

Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency) [PDF]
Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of L-{alpha}-aminoadipic semialdehyde/L-{Delta}

Aqueous Contact Ion Pairs of Phosphate Groups with Na$^+$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Mg$^{2+}$ -- Structural Discrimination by Femtosecond Infrared Spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulations [PDF]
The extent of contact and solvent shared ion pairs of phosphate groups with Na$^+$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Mg$^{2+}$ ions in aqueous environment and their relevance for the stability of polyanionic DNA and RNA structures is highly debated. Employing the asymmetric phosphate stretching vibration of dimethyl phosphate (DMP), a model system of the sugar-phosphate ...

Molecular mechanisms of the non-coenzyme action of thiamin in brain. Biochemical, structural and pathway analysis [PDF]
Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a pharmacological agent boosting central metabolism through the action of the coenzyme thiamin diphosphate (ThDP). However, positive effects, including improved cognition, of high thiamin doses in neurodegeneration may be ...

Through the directed evolution of an underexploited nonheme Fe extradiol dioxygenase, we developed a unified cooperative photobiocatalytic strategy to allow for three types of enantioconvergent radical transformations, including azidation, thiocyanation, and isocyanation.

Regulation of the Pho Regulon and Reconstruction of the Photosynthetic Apparatus under Phosphate Limitation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [PDF]
For millennia, cyanobacteria have evolved strategies for acclimatization to dynamic environments- this requires a molecular response system. Phosphate is essential for cellular integrity and metabolism, yet inorganic phosphate is often the limiting nutrient for most aquatic environments.

Change of Hydration Patterns upon RNA Melting Probed by Excitations of Phosphate Backbone Vibrations [PDF]
The water hydration shell has decisive impact on the structural and functional properties of RNA. Changes of RNA structure upon melting and in biochemical processes are accompanied by a change of hydration patterns, a process which is barely characterized.
