Abstract Peptide self-assembles with bionic properties have been widely utilized for bioactive drugs and biomedical materials. Collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) gains more attention due to its unique advantages in biosecurity function. Unfortunately, the self-assembly mechanism of CMP, particularly effect intermolecular forces on behavior morphology, is still unrecognized. Herein, hydrophilic glyc...

Chemical–mechanical polishing (CMP) is a planarization process that utilizes chemical reactions and mechanical material removal using abrasive particles. With the increasing integration of semiconductor devices, CMP gaining importance in manufacturing. Abrasive-free (AF-CMP) uses solutions do not contain particles to reduce scratches improve capabilities. However, because AF-CMP does use for re...

It is widely reported that derivatives of sugar moieties can be used to metabolically label cell surface carbohydrates or inhibit a particular glycosylation. However, few studies address the effect of substitution of the cytidylmonophosphate (CMP) portion on sialyltransferase activities. Here we first synthesized 2'-O-methyl CMP and 5-methyl CMP and then asked if these CMP derivatives are recog...

The 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid (CMP) salt of chitosan (CS), CS-CMP, and that of a CS derivative (CP), were prepared and their ability to adsorb bile acids investigated. CS-CMP and CP-CMP rapidly adsorbed taurocholate (TCA) and glycocholate (GCA) when these bile acids were present together in the medium, with simultaneous release of CMP. A secondary bile acid, taurodeoxycholate, ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the association between parental chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) and occurrence of CMP in the adult offspring. The main objective of this study was to assess the parent-offspring association of CMP, and also to examine possible modifying effects of age and sex. METHODS The study includes 11 248 parent-offspring trios from the Norwegian HUNT Study with infor...

An enzymatic activity responsible for the hydroxylation of CMP-NeuAc into CMP-N-glycolylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuGc) was found in the cytosolic fraction after cellular fractionation of the mucosa of rat small intestine. It was maximum in the presence of NADPH or NADH, but it was reduced by 50% by addition of 1 mM EDTA. The Km value for CMP-NeuAc was 0.6 microM. The CMP-NeuAc hydroxylase activity...

In commercial maize, there are at least two different alleles of the chiA gene that encode alloforms of ChitA chitinase, a protein that is abundant in developing seed. Both known alloforms are modified by Bz-cmp, a chitinase-modifying protein (cmp) secreted by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris zeicola. One alloform (ChitA-B73) is also modified by Stm-cmp, a protein secreted by the fungal pathogen S...

Cartilage matrix protein (CMP) is a major component of the extracellular matrix of nonarticular cartilage. The structure and chromosomal location of the human gene encoding CMP was determined by molecular cloning analysis. We used a partial chicken CMP cDNA probe to isolate three overlapping human genomic clones. From one of these clones, a probe containing 2 human CMP exons was isolated and us...

Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is a heterogeneous disease caused by a functional abnormality of the cardiac muscle. CMP is of 2 major types, dilated and hypertrophic, and is further classified as either primary or secondary. Secondary CMP is caused by extrinsic factors, including infection, ischemia, hypertension, and metabolic disorders. Primary CMP is diagnosed when the extrinsic factors of secondary C...

Cartilage matrix protein (CMP) is the prototype of the newly discovered matrilin family, all of which contain von Willebrand factor A domains. Although the function of matrilins remain unclear, we have shown that, in primary chondrocyte cultures, CMP (matrilin-1) forms a filamentous network, which is made up of two types of filaments, a collagen-dependent one and a collagen-independent one. In ...
