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

We investigated the conformational structures of L-phenylglycine in the gas phase by photoionization and double resonance spectroscopy techniques as well as high-level ab initio calculations. The UV-UV and IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy suggested that there exists only one conformer that

Following induction with D-phenylglycine both d-phenylglycine aminotransferase activity and benzoylformate decarboxylase activity were observed in cultures of Pseudomonas stutzeri ST-201. Induction with benzoylformate, on the other hand, induced only benzoylformate decarboxylase activity. Purification of the benzoylformate decarboxylase, followed by N-terminal
Gabapentin and pregabalin have been demonstrated, both in animal pain models and clinically, to be effective analgesics particularly for the treatment of neuropathic pain. The precise mechanism of action for these two drugs is unknown, but they are generally believed
The triazine-based bisbinaphthyl crown ethers oxacalix[2]arene[2]bisbinaphthes R-1, R-2, R-3 and S-1, S-2, S-3 were synthesized. The interactions of these compounds with various α-aminocarboxylic acid anions were studied. The crown ethers were found to carry out highly enantioselective fluorescent recognition of
