Effect of Chitosan and Amphiphilic Polymers on the Photosensitizing and Spectral Properties of Rose Bengal

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
The influence of chitosan (CS) and amphiphilic polymers (AP: pluronic F108 and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) on the photocatalytic activity of rose bengal (RB) in a model reaction of tryptophan photo-oxidation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was studied.

The Kynurenine Pathway in Obese Middle-Aged Women with Normoglycemia and Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
We examined the relationships of tryptophan (Trp) and the metabolites of the kynurenine pathway (KP) to the occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic risk factors in obese middle-aged women.

Analysis of indole derivatives in methanolic extracts from mycelium of Agaricus bisporus cultured in vitro on liquid Oddoux medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Methanolic extracts obtained from biomass of Agaricus bisporus (J.E. Lange) Imbach cultured in vitro were analyzed for qualitative and quantitative composition of non-hallucinogenic indole compounds in order to compare their amount with fruiting bodies ...

Determination and Application of Nineteen Monoamines in the Gut Microbiota Targeting Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, and Glutamic Acid Metabolic Pathways

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
It has been reported that monoamine neurotransmitters can be produced by gut microbiota, and that several related metabolites of amino acids in these pathways are associated with nervous system (NVS) diseases. Herein, we focused on three pathways, namely,

Proton transfer in histidine-tryptophan heterodimers embedded in helium droplets

open access: yes, 2015
We used cold helium droplets as nano-scale reactors to form and ionize, by electron bombardment and charge transfer, aromatic amino acid heterodimers of histidine with tryptophan, methyl-tryptophan, and indole. The molecular interaction occurring through

Dietary fibre directs microbial tryptophan metabolism via metabolic interactions in the gut microbiota

open access: yesNature Microbiology
Tryptophan is catabolized by gut microorganisms resulting in a wide range of metabolites implicated in both beneficial and adverse host effects. How gut microbial tryptophan metabolism is directed towards indole, associated with chronic kidney disease ...

Transport of tryptophan dipeptide derivatives and impact on inflammatory cytokines in monocyte/macrophage-like cells

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: Tryptophan is an essential amino acid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, the absorption of amino acids including tryptophan is relatively slower than the absorption of dipeptides. Therefore, we have two aims in this

Site-Directed Mutagenesis and Site-Specific Binding Analysis of Calmodulin (CaM) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Calcium signaling is a major regulatory system in cells and a crucial part of cell biology. An important element in the decoding of intracellular calcium concentration into downstream processes is the ubiquitous and highly conserved calcium binding ...

MRI Relaxivity Changes of the Magnetic Nanoparticles Induced by Different Amino Acid Coatings

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
In this study, we analysed the physico-chemical properties of positively charged magnetic fluids consisting of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalised by different amino acids (AAs): glycine (Gly), lysine (Lys) and tryptophan (Trp), and the ...
