Semisynthetic Biosensors for the Quantification of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotides in Live Cells

Olivier Vincent Sallin

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) are crucial redox cofactors regulating energy metabolism, reductive biosynthesis and the antioxidant defense system. Besides their role as redox cofactors, NAD(P ...

Reversible Dihydrogen Activation and Hydride Transfer by a Uranium Nitride Complex

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Marta Falcone, Lok Nga Poon

Abstract: Cleavage of dihydrogen is an important step in the industrial and enzymatic transformation of N2 into ammonia. The reversible cleavage of dihydrogen was achieved under mild conditions (room temperature and 1 atmosphere of H2) by the molecular ura ...

Semisynthetic sensor proteins enable metabolic assays at the point of care

Kai Johnsson, Rudolf Griss, Qiuliyang Yu, Lin Xue, Julien Hiblot

Monitoring metabolites at the point of care could improve the diagnosis and management of numerous diseases. Yet for most metabolites, such assays are not available. We introduce semisynthetic, light-emitting sensor proteins for use in paper-based metaboli ...

De novo NAD(+) synthesis enhances mitochondrial function and improves health

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu, Elena Katsyuba, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Karim Laurent Gariani, Marika Olga Zietak

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a co-substrate for several enzymes, including the sirtuin family of NAD(+)-dependent protein deacylases. Beneficial effects of increased NAD(+) levels and sirtuin activation on mitochondrial homeostasis, organi ...

Two analytical approaches quantifying the electron donating capacities of dissolved organic matter to monitor its oxidation during chlorination and ozonation

Urs von Gunten

Electron-donating activated aromatic moieties, including phenols, in dissolved organic matter (DOM) partially control its reactivity with the chemical oxidants ozone and chlorine. This comparative study introduces two sensitive analytical systems to direct ...

ATP and NADPH coated iron oxide nanoparticles for targeting of highly metabolic tumor cells

Dominique Bonvin, Heinrich Hofmann

The metabolic activity of tumor cells is known to be higher as compared to that of normal cells, which has been previously exploited to deliver nanomedicines to highly metabolic tumor cells. Unfortunately, current strategies, which are mostly based on comp ...

Modulating NAD(+) metabolism, from bench to bedside

Johan Auwerx, Elena Katsyuba

Discovered in the beginning of the 20(th) century, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) has evolved from a simple oxidoreductase cofactor to being an essential cosubstrate for a wide range of regulatory proteins that include the sirtuin family of NAD ...
