Greasing the wheels or a spanner in the works?:Regulation of the cardiac sodium pump by palmitoylation [PDF]
The ubiquitous sodium/potassium ATPase (Na pump) is the most abundant primary active transporter at the cell surface of multiple cell types, including ventricular myocytes in the heart.

Computational design of syntheses leading to compound libraries or isotopically labelled targets [PDF]
Although computer programs for retrosynthetic planning have shown improved and in some cases quite satisfactory performance in designing routes leading to specific, individual targets, no algorithms capable of planning syntheses of entire target ...

Going Round in Circles with N→S Acyl Transfer [PDF]
It is not highly sophisticated, yet the N→S acyl transfer reaction of a native peptide sequence potentially fills an important technology gap. While several routes to synthetic peptide thioesters exist, only one is routinely applicable for biologically derived samples. Using the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine as the sole activator for N→S acyl

Summary: S-acylation, commonly palmitoylation, is the addition of fatty acids to cysteines to regulate protein localization and function. S-acylation detection has been hampered by limited sensitivity and selectivity in low-protein, costly samples like ...

Chemical proteomics: a powerful tool for exploring protein lipidation [PDF]
The study of post-translational modifications such as protein lipidation is a non-trivial challenge of the post-genomic era. In recent years the field of chemical proteomics has greatly advanced our ability to identify and quantify protein lipidation. In

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
