Reduction of trimethylamine N-oxide to trimethylamine by the human gut microbiota: supporting evidence for ‘metabolic retroversion’ [PDF]
Dietary sources of methylamines such as choline, trimethylamine (TMA), trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and carnitine are present in a number of foodstuffs, including meat, fish, nuts and eggs.

Trimethylamine N-Oxide: The Good, the Bad and the Unknown
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a small colorless amine oxide generated from choline, betaine, and carnitine by gut microbial metabolism. It accumulates in the tissue of marine animals in high concentrations and protects against the protein ...

Background Hospitalization is a significant outcome measurement for maintenance hemodialysis pantients. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), created by gut microflora from dietary l-carnitine and choline, cleared by the kidney, has been implicated in the ...

Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

The concept of scorpionate ligands has evolved significantly since the introduction of tris(pyrazolyl)borate. By integrating a biological supramolecular ligand scaffold with the classic scorpionate architecture, researchers have made notable strides in mimicking the active sites of nitrogenase and advancing homogeneous catalysis.

Microbial trimethylamine metabolism in marine environments [PDF]
Trimethylamine (TMA) is common in marine environments. Although the presence of this compound in the oceans has been known for a long time, unlike the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, where TMA metabolism by microorganisms has been studied intensely ...

From Phosphinimines to Four‐Membered SiCPN Cations: Insights Into N–Si Bonding and Ring Strain
Sterically tuned N‐silyl phosphinimines enable four‐membered SiCPN cations. Hydride abstraction yields cyclic cations for Me and iPr substituents at silicon, while tBu gives a protonated intermediate. Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography, thermochemical density functional theory investigations, and natural bond orbital analyses reveal ...

Emerging Trends in Organic Photoreactions Utilizing Disulfides
Disulfides are versatile, nontoxic alternatives to metal photocatalysts. This review explores their role as photoactivated thiyl‐radical precursors and bifunctional catalysts (HAT/electron shuttling) in diverse transformations. Strategies for electronic tuning and development into recyclable heterogeneous materials are highlighted for sustainable ...
