Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

Phosphodiester groups occur ubiquitously in nature, e.g. in nucleic acids or in cyclic (di‐)nucleotides important for signal transduction. Proteins often use polar or positively charged amino acids to interact with the negatively charged phosphodiester groups via hydrogen bonds and salt bridges.

This study describes the clinical and laboratory profile and outcomes of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Ghana. Out of 175 patients (mean age 55.9+/−18.3 years) 64 (36.6%) had DM. Compared to non‐diabetics, DM patients were older (61.1? 12.8 vs. 53.0?

A Single‐Molecule Liposome Assay for Membrane Permeabilisation
Cell membrane disruption is associated with numerous diseases and underlies the activity of various antimicrobial agents. The rapid screening of compounds capable of disrupting or permeabilising biological membranes is essential to the search for new therapeutic drugs.

Novel Approaches To Design Glycan‐Based Antibacterial Inhibitors
Sweet and sticky: This review describes recent advances in the synthesis and application of homo‐and heterovalent glycan‐scaffolds as potential candidates for efficient bacteria lectin inhibition. To study and address the many complex molecular mechanisms involved in multivalent lectin binding events, novel glycoconjugate designs and fine‐tunable ...

A Coupled Two-Tier Mathematical Transmission Model to Explore Virulence Evolution in Vector-Borne Diseases [PDF]
The emergence or adaptation of pathogens may lead to epidemics, highlighting the need for a thorough understanding of pathogen evolution. The tradeoff hypothesis suggests that virulence evolves to reach an optimal transmission intensity relative to the mortality caused by the disease.

Functional activity of peptide ion channels in tethered bilayer lipid membranes: Review
Abstract Ion transport across biomembranes plays a major role in living cells. This fundamental function is normally carried out by molecules with both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic side (amphiphilic molecules), which aggregate within the membrane forming a hydrophilic pore (the ion channel) permitting the selective translocation of permeant ions ...
