Application

1-β-D-Arabinofuranosylthymine (araT):
  • maybe used as a substrate and inhibitor to study the specificity and kinetics of thymidine kinase(s), such as herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 thymidine kinases, the HSV1-tk and, HSV2-tk gene products.
  • is used to study the specificity and kinetics of various mitochondrial nucleoside kinases.
  • has been used as an antiviral agent to study its efficacy on Cryptosporidium parvum in vitro.

Introduction of a bulky lipophilic acyl entity at the 2'-OH position of both 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylthymine (araT) and (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (BVaraU), consistently resulted in a marked ( approximately 10-fold) increase in the inhibitory activity of these new arabinosyl nucleoside analogues for the mitochondrial

The thymidine kinases from feline herpesvirus (FHV TK) and canine herpesvirus (CHV TK) were cloned and characterized. The two proteins are closely sequence-related to each other and also to the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK). Although

Evolutionary game theory is a powerful framework for studying evolution in populations of interacting individuals. A common assumption in evolutionary game theory is that interactions are symmetric, which means that the players are distinguished by only their strategies. In nature

The industrial synthesis of ammonia (NH3) using iron-based Haber-Bosch catalyst requires harsh reaction conditions. Developing advanced catalysts that perform well at mild conditions (<400 °C, <2 MPa) for industrial application is a long-term goal. Here we report a Co-N-C catalyst with high
