Sialic Acid and Sialidase Activity in Acute Stroke
Stroke is a heterogeneous syndrome caused by multiple disease mechanisms, resulting in a disruption of cerebral blood flow with subsequent tissue damage. It is well known that erythrocytes have a large amount of sialic acid and could represent a model to investigate changes occurring in a pathology like stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relationship among erythrocyte m...
متن کاملSialic acid C-glycosides with aromatic residues: investigating enzyme binding and inhibition of Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase.
Several α-configured C-sialosides were synthesised by cross metathesis and further synthetic derivatisation to obtain ligands for Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase (TcTS), a key enzyme in Chagas disease. Affinities of these compounds to immobilised TcTS were measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The K(D) values thus obtained are in the lower millimolar range and will be discussed. The re...
متن کاملFluorogenic peptide substrates for carboxydipeptidase activity of cathepsin B.
Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine protease exhibiting mainly dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase activity, which decreases dramatically above pH 5.5, when the enzyme starts acting as an endopeptidase. Since the common cathepsin B assays are performed at pH 6 and do not distinguish between these activities, we synthesized a series of peptide substrates specifically designed for the carboxydipeptidase ...
متن کاملFluorogenic Substrates for Differentiation of Gram-Negative
A total of 803 strains of gram-negative nonfermentative and oxidase-positive fermentative bacteria (38 taxa) were investigated for their ability to hydrolyze 53 different fluorogenic 4-methylumbelliferyland 1-naphthylamide-linked substrates within 6 h of incubation. The hydrolysis of 16 fluorogenic substrates showed high separation index values among the tested taxa, was reproducible, and showe...
متن کامل4-Methylumbelliferyl glycosides of N-acetyl 4-thiochito-oligosaccharides as fluorogenic substrates for chitodextrinase from Vibrio furnissii.
The degradation of chitin involves a diverse array of enzymes, some with overlapping substrate specificities. In order to distinguish between different types of enzymes, specific substrates are needed. Toward this end, two new fluorogenic substrates containing thio-glycosidic linkages, 4-methylumbelliferyl N,N'-diacetyl-4-thio-beta-chitobioside (Mu-TCB) and N,N',N"-triacetyl-4,4'-dithio-beta-ch...
