Evaluation of Nucleoside Analogs as Antimicrobials Targeting Unique Enzymes in Borrelia burgdorferi
The first line therapy for Lyme disease is treatment with doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime. In endemic regions, the persistence of symptoms in many patients after completion of antibiotic treatment remains a major healthcare concern. The causative

Racemisation of Amino Acids: From Synthetic Challenge to Biological Significance
Racemisation, once considered an undesirable synthetic side reaction, also occurs naturally in amino acids and influences biological processes. Evidence links stereochemical conversion to ageing, protein turnover, and cellular development. This review examines mechanisms, control strategies in synthesis, applications and implications in physiology ...

Selenium‐Based Nanoplatforms: An Emerging Theranostic Paradigm for Gynecological Cancers
This reivew summarizes Selenium as a multifunctional anticancer regulator in gynecological cancers. It reduces tumor risk, enhances therapeutic efficacy, and reduces treatment toxicity. Selenium also overcomes chemoraditherapy resistance, improving overall treatment outcomes. ABSTRACT Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due

Asymmetric Synthesis of 6′-Fluoroaristeromycin Analogues as Potential S-Adenosylhomocysteine Hydrolase Inhibitor [PDF]
Inhibitors of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase have shown promise as antiviral agents. Aristeromycin and neplanocin A are naturally occurring carbocyclic nucleosides, which act as potent inhibitors of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase ...

Ribozyme für die RNA‐katalysierte Methylierung und Markierung von RNA
Ribozyme sind vielseitige Werkzeuge für die präzise Modifikation von RNA. Das Reaktionsspektrum in‐vitro‐selektierter Ribozyme reicht vom Einbau funktioneller Gruppen und Fluorophoren bis zu natürlichen RNA‐Methylierungen. Dieser Übersichtsartikel präsentiert Cofaktor‐abhängige Ribozyme für die positionsgenaue Markierung und Modifikation von RNA ...

Increased, homocysteine and S-adenosylhomocysteine concentrations and DNA hypomethylation in vascular disease [PDF]
Background: The pathogenic mechanism of homocysteine's effect on cardiovascular risk is poorly understood. Recent studies show that DNA hypomethylation induced by increases in S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), an intermediate of Hcy metabolism and a ...

S-adenosylhomocysteine and polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in predementia syndromes and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Recent epidemiological evidence showed that dietary fatty acids, antioxidants, and micronutrients appear to have a role in cognitive decline, and may permit a beneficial effect on the risk of dementia and predementia syndromes.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of human placental S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase [PDF]
A recombinant form of human placental S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase expressed in E. coli, which was inactivated by a type-I mechanism-based inhibitor, has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique.

Functional Characterization of SlSAHH2 in Tomato Fruit Ripening
S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) functions as an enzyme catalyzing the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine to homocysteine and adenosine. In the present work we have investigated its role in the ripening process of tomato fruit.
