Effect of polymorphisms in folate-related genes on in vitro methotrexate sensitivity in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
We studied whether common polymorphisms in genes involved in folate metabolism affect methotrexate (MTX) sensitivity. Ex vivo MTX sensitivity of lymphoblasts obtained from pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; n ...

pH plays a role in the mode of action of trimethoprim on Escherichia coli [PDF]
Metabolomics-based approaches were applied to understand interactions of trimethoprim with Escherichia coli K-12 at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC≈0.2, 0.03 and 0.003 mg L-1).

IBA57 recruits ISCA2 to form a [2Fe-2S] cluster-mediated complex [PDF]
The maturation of mitochondrial iron-sulfur proteins requires a complex protein machinery. Human IBA57 protein was proposed to act in a late phase of this machinery, along with GLRX5, ISCA1, and ISCA2.

The Mechanism of the Condensation of Formaldehyde with Tetrahydrofolic Acid
Abstract The bell-shaped pH rate profile for the reaction of tetrahydrofolic acid with formaldehyde to form 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolic acid has been shown to result from a change in rate-determining step with changing acidity. In alkaline solution, the rate-determining step is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of hydroxymethyl tetrahydrofolic acid and

Metabolism‐Based Biomarkers for Rapid Phenotypic Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
Metabolic differences emerging after antibiotic exposure provide rapid phenotypic signals of susceptibility and resistance. This review summarizes metabolic biomarkers for rapid phenotypic AST, associated with nutrient uptake, respiratory activity, metabolic reprogramming, and enzymatic function. ABSTRACT The accelerating global crisis of antimicrobial
