Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain immune homeostasis and prevent autoimmunity. Serine stimulates glutathione (GSH) synthesis and feeds into the one-carbon metabolic network (1CMet) essential for effector T cell (Teff) responses. However, serine's functions, linkage to GSH, and role in stress responses in
A developing therapy of cystic fibrosis caused by the DeltaF508 mutation in CFTR employs correction of defective CFTR chloride channel gating by a 'potentiator' and of defective CFTR protein folding by a 'corrector'. Based on SAR data for phenylglycine-type potentiators
Three different approaches for immobilizing cross-linked chitosan molecules (CS-s) in sol-gel phases to form chiral OT-CEC capillaries were comparatively investigated in this study. To synthesize column I, a bare capillary was first silanized with triethoxysilane (TEOS) and then reacted with

In terms of chiral recognition for racemic aryl methyl sulfoxides in the solid state, three kinds of crystalline (S)-alkylglycyl-(S)-phenylglycines were examined as potential dipeptides host molecules. When (S)-alanyl-(S)-phenylglycines [(S,S)-Ala-Phg] crystallized with aryl methyl sulfoxides, the stereochemistry of preferentially included sulfoxides

Pristinamycin I (PI), a streptogramin type B antibiotic produced by Streptomyces pristinaespiralis, contains the aproteinogenic amino acid L-phenylglycine. Recent sequence analysis led to the identification of a set of putative phenylglycine biosynthetic genes. Successive inactivation of the individual genes resulted
