Symmetry Scheme for Amino Acid Codons [PDF]
Group theoretical concepts are invoked in a specific model to explain how only twenty amino acids occur in nature out of a possible sixty four. The methods we use enable us to justify the occurrence of the recently discovered twenty first amino acid selenocysteine, and also enables us to predict the possible existence of two more, as yet undiscovered ...

NEU1, a key regulator of glycolysis, is markedly upregulated following DOX treatment. This upregulation is attributed to HIF1α’s transcriptional repression, requiring intricate interactions with NRF2. Increased NEU1 facilitates SIRT1 lysosomal degradation, contributing to aberrant glycolytic phenotype and cardiac damage.

Sialyl glycosides containing 4‐N‐derivatized sialic acids synthesized by a highly efficient one‐pot two‐enzyme (OP2E) chemoenzymatic sialylation strategy have been shown to be versatile probes. They can resist sialidase cleavage, be selective substrates by influenza sialidases, or be nanomolar substrate analog‐based inhibitors and affinity ligands ...

Sialic Acid Conjugated Chitosan for the Attenuation of Amyloid-beta Toxicity [PDF]
Amyloid-beta (Aβ), a 39 to 43 amino acid long peptide, is the primary species identified in senile plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and has been implicated in the neurotoxicity associated with AD.

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging
Background Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

In the complex microenvironment of the human respiratory tract, different kinds of microorganisms may synergistically interact with each other resulting in viral-bacterial co-infections that are often associated with more severe diseases than the ...

The comprehensive proteomic and N‐glycoproteomic analyses of 45 colorectal cancer tissues with matched normal adjacent tissues identified 7125 intact N‐glycopeptides from 704 glycoproteins. A glycosylation site‐protein function network revealing metabolic dysregulation is constructed and a model differentiating tumors from normal tissues is developed ...

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Structural analysis of SARS-CoV-2 and prediction of the human interactome [PDF]
Specific elements of viral genomes regulate interactions within host cells. Here, we calculated the secondary structure content of >2500 coronaviruses and computed >100000 human protein interactions with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
