The gene encoding polyneuridine aldehyde esterase of monoterpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis in plants is an ortholog of theα/β hydrolase super fa…
2000
The biosynthesis of the anti-arrhythmic alkaloid ajmaline is catalysed by more than 10 specific enzymes. In this multistep process polyneuridine aldehyde esterase (PNAE) catalyses a central reaction by transforming polyneuridine aldehyde into epi-vellosimine, which is the immediate precursor for the synthesis of the ajmalane skeleton. PNAE was purified from cell suspension cultures of Rauvolfia serpentina. The N-terminal sequence and endoproteinase LysC fragments of the purified protein were used for primer design and for the amplification of specific PCR products leading to the isolation of PNAE-encoding cDNA from a R. serpentina library. The PNAE cDNA was fused with a C-terminal His-tag, …
ChemInform Abstract: A Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Malyngolide via a Ring-Closing Olefin Metathesis.
2000
Abstract A very short and stereoselective synthesis of the non-natural enantiomer of malyngolide from l -erythrulose is described. Key features of the synthesis are the Felkin–Anh diastereoselective allylation of a polyoxygenated ketone and the allylation/metathesis/allylic oxidation protocol recently described by our group.
Spectroscopic study of polynucleotides in cationic W/O microemulsions
2007
Water has an active and key role in determining the structure of DNA. Entrapment of DNA and of synthetic model polynucleotides in reverse micelles, where the water activity can easily be modulated, may be a useful way of assessing the influence of water on DNA characteristics; it may also offer useful ideas on the problem of how the giant DNA molecule can be confined in the limited space of cell nuclei. The quaternary microemulsion CTAB n-hexane|n-pentanol| water was used to entrap calf thymus DNA, and the model polynucleotides single-strand polyA, single-strand polyT and duplex polyAT. Ultraviolet spectros-copy, specifically the band at 260 nm, was used to compare the pairing of complement…
Revealing interactions between polyaza pyridinophane compounds and DNA/RNA polynucleotides by SERS spectroscopy
2014
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) in the near-infrared region had been applied to study interactions of polyaza pyridinophanes with single stranded RNA and double stranded DNA and RNA polynucleotides. Studied compounds, PYPOD and PHENPOD, differed in the central aromatic moiety, pyridine and phenanthroline, respectively, which linked two cyclic amines. An intense scattering was obtained from molecules adsorbed onto the silver nanoparticles, showing nonlinear concentration dependence in the 6.5 × 10−8−6.5 × 10−5 M range. New bands in spectra of PYPOD/polynucleotide and PHENPOD/polynucleotide mixtures were assigned to vibrational modes of polynucleotide moieties involved i…
Dataset relative to article "Sensitivity and specificity of a commercial ELISA test for anti-MAG antibodies in patients with neuropathy"
2021
This record contains data related to article “Sensitivity and specificity of a commercial ELISA test for anti-MAG antibodies in patients with neuropathy". Abstract For the diagnosis of anti-MAG polyneuropathy the commercial ELISA manufacturer currently recommends a cut-off of 1000 Bühlmann Titer Units (BTU). We analyzed sera from 80 anti-MAG neuropathy patients and 383 controls (with other neuropathies or healthy controls) to assess the ELISA sensitivity and specificity at different thresholds. A better combination of sensitivity/specificity was found at a threshold >1500 BTU than at >1000 BTU. The best value of specificity was obtained at threshold >7000 BTU. There…

Follow-up in transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy: Useful investigations
2020
Patients with transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) and asymptomatic mutation-carriers have to be regularly followed-up in order to identify disease progression and the time point for starting or modifying therapy. In this case series we describe the potential suitability of different variables as progression markers. We retrospectively analyzed the follow-up charts of 10 TTR-FAP patients. Clinical examination included the Neuropathy Impairment Score of Lower Limb (NIS-LL), temperature perception thresholds, nerve conduction and autonomic function tests. The NIS-LL had the greatest value for a sensitive and correct follow-up for all TTR-FAP stages. All other examinations provided u…
Exploratory remarks and discussion on a potential program for interlock even more the mathematics and physics
2021
These remarks are endowed with exploratory argumentation for disrupt further discussion and in favor of the in-depth consolidation of a mathematical and physics identification based on 2 key concepts: 1) finite support and 2) a notion of infinite intrinsic to the usage of the complex numbers. General relativity shows up linked to a kind of a Gelfand representation as an approximation of an analog of a hidden Markov Model. This has deep connections with the Stone–Weierstrass theorem and these discussion are an invitation to the physics community to study the physics x mathematics identification in the case of a holding true multiverse hypothesis. Photon in this setup stands to the analog of …
Ferro- and Antiferromagnetic Interactions in Oxalato-Centered Inverse Hexanuclear and Chain Copper(II) Complexes with Pyrazole Derivatives.
2021
Two novel copper(II) complexes of formulas {[Cu(4-Hmpz)4][Cu(4-Hmpz)2(µ3-ox-κ2O1,O2:κO2′:κO1′)(ClO4)2]}n (1) and {[Cu(3,4,5-Htmpz)4]2[Cu(3,4,5-Htmpz)2(µ3-ox-κ2O1,O2:κO2′:κO1′)(H2O)(ClO4)]2[Cu2(3,4,5-Htmpz)4(µ-ox-κ2O1,O2:κ2O2′,O1′)]}(ClO4)4·6H2O (2) have been obtained by using 4-methyl-1H-pyrazole (4-Hmpz) and 3,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazole (3,4,5-Htmpz) as terminal ligands and oxalate (ox) as the polyatomic inverse coordination center. The crystal structure of 1 consists of perchlorate counteranions and cationic copper(II) chains with alternating bis(pyrazole)(µ3-κ2O1,O2:κO2′:κO1′-oxalato)copper(II) and tetrakis(pyrazole)copper(II) fragments. The crystal structure of 2 is made up of perchlorat…
