Functional and structural characterization of Norovirus GII.6 in recognizing histo-blood group antigens.

Noroviruses (NoVs) are the primary cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are receptors or attachment factors that affect the prevalence and host susceptibility of NoVs. GII.

Target-Based Virtual Screening and LC/MS-Guided Isolation Procedure for Identifying Phloroglucinol-Terpenoid Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to more than 5 million deaths worldwide to date. Due to the limited therapeutic options so far available, target-based virtual screening with LC/MS support was applied to identify the novel and high-content compounds - with inhibitory effects on SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells from the plant . These compounds were also evaluated against SARS-CoV-2 in Calu-3 cells and showed unambiguous inhibitory activity.

GII.13/21 Noroviruses Recognize Glycans with a Terminal β-Galactose via an Unconventional Glycan Binding Site.

Human noroviruses (huNoVs) recognize histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as host susceptibility factors. GII.13 and GII.

[Analysis of the extraction of red pellicle of walnut (Juglans regia L.) by ultraviolet-visible spectra and HPLC-ESI-MS(n)].

The extraction of the red pellicle of walnut (Juglans regia L.) was analyzed by UV-visible spectra and HPLC-ESI-MS(n) (high-performance-liquid-chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry). The extraction in ethanol-HCl showed two absorption peaks at 560 and 591 nm respectively in the UV-Vis spectrum; after purified by lead acetate and thin-layer-chromatography, the extraction in ethanol-HCl showed 4 absorption peaks at 340, 370, 552 and 585 nm respectively.
