It is clear that we have still not exhausted all the restriction endonuclease specificities to be found in nature. Recently discovered BsmI is the first endonuclease recognizing a nonpalindromic sequence that cleaves within the site. Certainly other endonucleases belonging to

The availability of polymeric antimicrobially active surfaces, which are mainly based on cationic surface effects, is limited. We have previously reported the discovery that, in addition to cationic surfaces, anionic surfaces based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) copolymers have a bactericidal

This article describes a liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric method, based on the use of precursor ion scan as the acquisition mode, specifically developed to detect indole-derived cannabinoids (phenylacetylindoles, naphthoylindoles and benzoylindoles) in biological fluids (saliva, urine and blood). The method

Telmisartan (TEL) belongs to BCS class II (low solubility/high permeability) and exhibits the pH-dependent drug release. Since 3-aminopropyl functionalized magnesium phyllosilicate (aminoclay) can intercalate or adsorb the negatively charged molecules via the electrostatic interaction, TEL-aminoclay complex was synthesized to improve

Tegafur (FT), a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, is a chiral molecule, a racemate of R- and S-isomers, and CYP2A6 plays an important role in the enantioselective metabolism of FT in human liver microsomes (R-FT > S-FT). This study examined the enantioselective
