Scotty: lattice coincidences for macromolecular crystallographic phasing
Scotty is a tool that leverages Niggli‐cell matches to identify similar crystallographic lattices and perform phasing with difference Fourier methods.When a macromolecular crystal lattice targeted for study is closely related to a previously studied crystal lattice, phasing the target crystal by difference (fast‐)Fourier transform (DFFT) methods is ...

There is good evidence that the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in fish oil have antiinflammatory effects and reduce the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying these actions are largely unknown.

Scotty: lattice coincidences in the Protein Data Bank
Scotty supports crystallographic comparisons of lattice coincidences, the interpretation of oligomeric assemblies and paracrystallinity.The application Scotty, implemented within the Phasertng codebase, was used to perform a PDB‐wide analysis of lattice coincidences.

Infected macrophages by dengue virus will produce phospholipase-A2 (PLA2) enzyme, that can promote arachidonic acid metabolism that produce inflammatory mediators, causing endhothelial damage and severe plasma leakage.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Bioconjugation Strategies for Revealing the Roles of Glycerophospholipids in Cells
Glycerophospholipids are the main class of phospholipids, essential for membrane structure, compartmentalization, and cellular signaling. To study their roles, innovative probes and advanced bioconjugation strategies have been developed, including by de novo lipid synthesis and bioorthogonal conjugation chemistry.

The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulated the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from mouse keratinocytes. A distinct difference was observed between the fatty acid release profile elicited by TPA and other stimuli.

Inhibition of the activity of pro-inflammatory secretory phospholipase A2 by acute phase proteins
Pro-Inflammatory non-pancreatic phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is markedly over-expressed in acute systemic and chronic local inflammatory processes. Since in acute phase reaction sPLA2 is often over-expressed simultaneously with acute phase proteins (APP), it

Role of secretory and cytosolic phospholipase A2 enzymes in lysophosphatidylcholine-stimulated monocyte arachidonic acid release [PDF]
To determine if lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) is able to induce proinflammatory changes in monocytes, its ability to stimulate arachidonic acid (AA) release, a product of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity, has been analyzed. LysoPC increased AA release
