Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE), an organic aciduria of unknown etiology characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and vascular instability associated with lactic acidemia and urinary excretion of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) and methylsuccinic acid (MSA), has been described in 11 patients. To test

Rats excrete increased ethylmalonate and methylsuccinate when given ethylmalonate in the diet; when given methylsuccinate they excrete methylsuccinate and mesaconate. Tenfold more labelled mesaconate was produced from threo-methyl[2,3-2H2] succinate precursor than from the erythro isomer. Our findings suggest trans-dehydrogenation of

HPLC-MS-based metabonomic analysis was used to investigate urinary metabolic perturbations associated with D-serine-induced nephrotoxicity. D-Serine causes selective necrosis of the proximal straight tubules in the rat kidney accompanied by aminoaciduria, proteinuria and glucosuria. Alderely Park (Wistar-derived) rats were dosed with

We have presented a method for modeling polarization in hybrid QM/MM calculations. The method, which expresses the induced dipoles as a set of "induced" charges, is based on the induced dipole approach and methodology for calculating potential-derived point charges from
