Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Fungal-specific PCR primers developed for analysis of the ITS region of environmental DNA extracts

BMC Microbiology, 2005
Background The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of fungal ribosomal DNA (rDNA) are highly variable sequences of great importance in distinguishing fungal species by PCR analysis.

A conserved metalloprotease mediates ecdysis in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2004
Molting is required for progression between larval stages in the life cycle of nematodes. We have identified four mutant alleles of a <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> metalloprotease gene, <i>nas-37</i>, that cause incomplete ...

Silent Partners in the Mill: Unveiling the Role of Additives in Mechanochemical Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Mechanochemistry offers a sustainable, solvent‐free alternative to traditional synthesis, often enhanced by additives in a process known as additive‐assisted grinding. This review discusses how various additives, including liquids, ionic solids, and advanced materials like ionic liquids and piezoelectric compounds, improve reaction efficiency ...

Effects of maternal genotypic identity and genetic diversity of the red mangrove Rhizophora mangle on associated soil bacterial communities: A field‐based experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Loss of plant biodiversity can result in reduced abundance and diversity of associated species with implications for ecosystem functioning. In ecosystems low in plant species diversity, such as Neotropical mangrove forests, it is thought that genetic ...

Pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome; lessons obtained from animal studies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 people globally and is caused by several types of mutations of the TRPS1 gene. Since the first human patient was reported in 1966, typical and atypical pathologies, disease courses, and treatment case ...

Molecular biology techniques as a tool for detection and characterisation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]

, 2002
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) is the causative agent of paratuberculosis, also known as Johne’s disease, a chronic intestinal infection in cattle and other ruminants.

Plasmonics‐Enhanced Characterization of Cervid PrP (87–114) Fragment Aggregates in Solution

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Multimodal nanophotonics platform combining plasmon‐enhanced imaging, label‐free SERS, and optical staining reveals new insights into the aggregation of the cervid PrP (87–114) fragment, an amyloidogenic sequence linked to chronic wasting disease susceptibility.

Population Dynamic of Dendronephthya sp.-Associated Bacteria in Natural and Artificial Habitats

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2011
Dendronephthya sp. is a soft coral that has huge distribution starting from Indopacific, Tonga, Solomon Islands to Great Barrier Reef in Australia. However, this soft corals survive only in short period after cultivation in artificial habitat (aquarium).

Intra- and interspecies interactions between prion proteins and effects of mutations and polymorphisms [PDF]

, 2003
Recently, crystallization of the prion protein in a dimeric form was reported. Here we show that native soluble homogenous FLAG-tagged prion proteins from hamster, man and cattle expressed in the baculovirus system are predominantly dimeric.
