Natural peptides and proteins: potent tyrosinase inhibitors
Background and objectives: Tyrosinase is a copper containing oxidase which is crucial for controlling the production of melanin in creatures such as bacteria, fungi, plants and mammals. It is involved in the first two steps of melanin biosynthesis and leads to pigmentation and different types of cancer such as melanoma. Also, it is responsible for browning of fruits and vegetab...
متن کاملAntibacterial action of structurally diverse cationic peptides on gram-positive bacteria.
Antimicrobial cationic peptides are ubiquitous in nature and are thought to be a component of the first line of defense against infectious agents. It is widely believed that the killing mechanism of these peptides on bacteria involves an interaction with the cytoplasmic membrane. Cationic peptides from different structural classes were used in experiments with Staphylococcus aureus and other me...
متن کاملChemical Elucidation of Structurally Diverse Willow Lignins
A new fast-growing wood raw material, willow (Salix matsudana cv. Zhuliu), was subjected to pulping to identify the structure of its lignin. Thus, the black liquor lignin (AL) and enzymatic mild acidolysis lignin (EMAL) were prepared, and their molecular structure and molecular weight of the isolated lignin polymers were comprehensively investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F...
متن کاملCatalytic asymmetric sulfenylation to structurally diverse dithioketals.
We report the first example of the highly enantioselective synthesis of structurally diverse chiral dithioketals via asymmetric sulfenylation of various types of S-based nucleophiles, catalyzed by a cheap cinchona alkaloid derivative, dihydroquinine.
متن کاملAnkyrin - B Is Required for Intracellular Sorting of Structurally Diverse Ca 2 1 Homeostasis Proteins
This report describes a congenital myopathy and major loss of thymic lymphocytes in ankyrin-B ( 2 / 2 ) mice as well as dramatic alterations in intracellular localization of key components of the Ca 2 1 homeostasis machinery in ankyrin-B ( 2 / 2 ) striated muscle and thymus. The sacoplasmic reticulum (SR) and SR/T-tubule junctions are apparently preserved in a normal distribution in ankyrin-B (...
