Improving Drug Discovery From Microorganisms
Microorganisms remain unrivalled in their ability to produce bioactive small molecules for drug development. However, the core technologies used to discover microbial natural products have not evolved significantly over the past several decades, resulting in a shortage of new drug leads. Advances in DNA-sequencing and bioinformatics technologies now make it possible to rapidly identify the clus...
متن کاملAnalysis of peptide metabolism by ruminal microorganisms.
Methods were developed for the determination of oligoalanine and other short-chain peptides and peptide analogs in ruminal fluid by using reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Chromatographic analysis of the breakdown of (Ala)3 and (Ala)4 in ruminal fluid in vitro revealed that the predominant mechanism of hydrolysis was a dipeptidyl peptidase-like activity. Hydrolysis proceeded fr...
متن کاملMetabolism of glycine by rumen microorganisms.
Rumen microorganisms rapidly metabolized glycine at rates varying from 0.014 to 0.241 mumole of glycine per ml per min. The main metabolic products were carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and ammonia; little glycine was incorporated into bacterial protein. Use of carboxyl or methylene-labeled glycine showed that the carbon dioxide came mainly from the carboxyl of glycine, whereas both carbons of acet...
متن کاملGenetics in Drug Metabolism
Genomic variation largely explains the differences in an individual’s response to drug treatments. A field of genomic medicine focuses on the identification of genetic polymorphisms and gene mutations involved in the development and progression of disease. Another part focuses on the development of genetic tests to accompany medical prescriptions, to predict how certain patients respond to ther...
متن کاملMetabolism of taurine in microorganisms: a primer in molecular biodiversity?
To those studying the roles of taurine in mammals, one starting point might be Huxtable’s review (Huxtable, 1992), in which about one page was devoted to a list of known and putative functions of the compound. Subsequent taurine meetings have added much to this picture. The review also supplies information for microbiologists; in the meantime, much has been learned about the roles of taurine in...
