Array-based sensing of purine derivatives with fluorescent dyes

Natural and synthetic purine derivatives such as caffeine, theophylline, 6-mercaptopurine and 8-chlorotheophylline are important drugs. Due to the structural similarity of these compounds, it is intrinsically difficult to prepare chemosensors for their sel ...

Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Reveals Plasticity of Metabolic Networks in Mycobacterium smegmatis

John McKinney, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Diego Chiappe, Marc Moniatte, Tarun Chopra

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a remarkable ability to persist within the human host as a clinically inapparent or chronically active infection. Fatty acids are thought to be an important carbon source used by the bacteria during long term infection. Catab ...

Kinetic reconstruction and analysis of sphingolipid metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Howard Riezman, Georgios Savoglidis

Lipids are major constituents of the cell. They are responsible for major properties of the cellular membranes: hydrophobicity, selective permeability and being the scaffold of signaling proteins. Many diseases are associated with alterations in the lipid ...

Metabolic modeling and experimental studies on carbon and energy metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Muhittin Emre Özdemir

Tuberculosis is an ancient human disease affecting millions of people every year. The common causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a peculiar pathogen that can persist in the host tissues for decades. Many of the key attributes of M. tuberculosis ...

In vivo metabolic studies in skeletal and cardiac muscle using ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Cardiac and skeletal muscle function relies on a continuous energy production via fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate, with a fine balance between substrate delivery and utilization. Changes in metabolism are increasingly being im ...

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of adenine and adenosine in aqueous solution

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is applied to study the excited state dynamics of the DNA base adenine and its ribonucleoside adenosine in aqueous solution for pump and probe photon energies in the range between 4.66 eV and 5.21 eV. We follow the ...

The metabolic footprint of aging in mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Pénélope Andreux, Raphaël Doenlen, Richardus Houtkooper, Ellen Helena Jeninga

Aging is characterized by a general decline in cellular function, which ultimately will affect whole body homeostasis. Although DNA damage and oxidative stress all contribute to aging, metabolic dysfunction is a common hallmark of aging at least in inverte ...

Transcriptional regulation of lipid homeostasis in mycobacteria

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala

Mycolic acids are major components of the cell envelope of mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and play an important role in its architecture, impermeability and interaction with the environment. Synthesis of mycolic acids is carried out by t ...

Survey of volatile oxylipins and their biosynthetic precursors in bryophytes

Emmanuel Croisier

Oxylipins are metabolites which are derived from the oxidative fragmentation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These metabolites play central roles in plant hormonal regulation and defense. Here we survey the production of volatile oxylipins in bryophytes an ...
