Abstract BACKGROUND The inhibition of carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes, α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, is a key strategy in managing postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. Natural phenolic compounds isolated from olive mill by‐product (alperujo), such as hydroxytyrosol (HT) and trans‐p‐coumaroyl secologanoside (comselogoside, COM), have shown ...

Amphiphilic Poly(γ‐glutamic acid) Derivatives for Delivering Doxorubicin in Cancer Cells
In this study, poly(γ‐glutamic acid) was modified via esterification with 4‐phenyl‐butyl bromide to enhance its amphiphilic properties, enabling self‐assembly into nanoparticles (NPs). Further functionalization with hydrophilic groups (MethoxyPEG) and targeting ligands (Folic acid‐PEG) (FA‐PEG) provided NPs that were loaded with DOX and delivered in U ...

A neutrophil-dependent pathway for the generation of a neutral peptide mediator: partial characterization of components and control by alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]
A biologically active neutral peptide mediator is cleaved from a plasma protein substrate by an alpha-1-antitrypsin-inhibitable serine protease apparently residing on the membrane of the human neutrophil. The peptide mediator has an approximate mol wt of

Transport of Proteins into Mitochondria [PDF]
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier is an integral transmembrane protein of the inner membrane. It is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. Kinetic data suggested that this protein is transferred into mitochondria in a posttranslational manner.

Lysobacter antibioticus OH13 and its antibiotic myxin effectively control rice bacterial leaf streak (BLS) under greenhouse conditions and in field trials. OH13 alters the rhizosphere microbiome, enriching beneficial bacteria. Myxin production was boosted 3.19‐fold via mutagenesis and optimization, highlighting the potential of OH13 as a sustainable ...
