Comparison of Three Methods of Biocompatible Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Confinement for the Development of Implantable Amperometric Adenosine-5′-Triphosphate Biosensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Andrea Cavallini

An amperometric biosensor for adenosine 5 -triphosphate (ATP) was developed applying a competitive assay of two glucose converting enzymes: glucose oxidase (GOD) and hexokinase (HEX). Competition between GOD and HEX for glucose in presence of ATP, lead to ...

Single-Metabolite Bio-Nano-Sensors and System for Remote Monitoring in Animal Models

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Eric Meurville, Cristina Boero, Andrea Cavallini, Léandre Bolomey

A novel system for remote monitoring of metabolism in animal model is proposed in this paper. The system is obtained by integrating Bio-Nano-Sensors to detect single- metabolites, an electrochemical front-end made with off- the-shelf components, an RF comm ...

Mitochondrial matrix pH controls oxidative phosphorylation and metabolism-secretion coupling in INS-1E clonal beta cells

Kristina Schoonjans, Andreas Wiederkehr, Chikage Mataki

Glucose-evoked mitochondrial signals augment ATP synthesis in the pancreatic β cell. This activation of energy metabolism increases the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio, which stimulates plasma membrane electrical activity and insulin granule exocytosis. We have re ...

Influence of Uncertainties in pH, pMg, Activity Coefficients, Metabolite Concentrations, and Other Factors on the Analysis of the Thermodynamic Feasibility of Metabolic Pathways

Urs von Stockar

Thermodynamic feasibility analysis (TFA) has been used as a toot capable of providing additional constraints to the mass balance-based methods of analysis of Metabolic networks (e.g., flux balance analysis). Several publications have recently appeared in w ...

Long-range energy transfer in proteins

Francesco Piazza

Proteins are large and complex molecular machines. In order to perform their function, most of them need energy, e. g. either in the form of a photon, as in the case of the visual pigment rhodopsin, or through the breaking of a chemical bond, as in the pre ...

Mitochondrial bovine ADP/ATP carrier in detergent is predominantly monomeric but also forms multimeric species

ADP/ATP carriers (AACs) are major and essential constituents of the inner mitochondrial membrane. They drive the import of ADP and the export of newly synthesized ATP. They were described as functional dimers from the 1980s until the structures of the AAC ...

A comprehensive model of purine uptake by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: identification of four purine transport activities in intraerythrocytic parasites

Plasmodium falciparum is incapable of de novo purine biosynthesis, and is absolutely dependent on transporters to salvage purines from the environment. Only one low-affinity adenosine transporter has been characterized to date. In the present study we repo ...

Relations between structure and function of the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier

Import and export of metabolites through mitochondrial membranes are vital processes that are highly controlled and regulated at the level of the inner membrane. Proteins of the mitochondrial carrier family ( MCF ) are embedded in this membrane, and each m ...

Resveratrol improves mitochondrial function and protects against metabolic disease by activating SIRT1 and PGC-1alpha

Johan Auwerx

Diminished mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic capacity are associated with reduced longevity. We tested whether resveratrol (RSV), which is known to extend lifespan, impacts mitochondrial function and metabolic homeostasis. Treatment of mi ...

General One-Step Synthesis of Free Hexofuranosyl 1-Phosphates Using Unprotected 1-Thioimidoyl Hexofuranosides

Ronan Euzen

A general one-step strategy is developed for the synthesis of hexofuranosyl 1-phosphates starting from new unprotected glycofuranosyl donors. It required first the preparation of new 1-thiohexofuranosides bearing a thioimidoyl heterocycle as a leaving grou ...
