Key Chlorophyll Molecules in the Uphill Energy Transfer from Chlorophyll to P700 in Far-Red Light-Adapted Photosystem I.

Multiple far-red light-adapted photosystem I (FR-PSI) reaction centers are recently found to work in oxygenic photosynthesis. They contain a small amount of a new type pigment chlorophyll (Chl ) in addition to the major pigment chlorophyll (Chl ). FR-PSI differs from the conventional PSIs in plants and cyanobacteria, which use only visible light absorbed by Chl , although the mechanism of FR-PSI is not fully clear yet.

Reconstruction of the Triceps Brachii Using the Latissimus Dorsi Musculocutaneous Flap.

Elbow flexion is essential for the functional use of the hand. The reconstructive procedure may also change depending on the location of the sarcoma. The nonresected muscle may alter the function of the elbow.

Synthesis of atom-precise supported metal clusters solid-phase peptide synthesis.

While the utility of supported metal and alloy clusters as catalytic materials is widely recognized, their precise synthesis remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate the precise synthesis of these clusters metallopeptides. This technique is characterized by its ability to be automated using Merrifield's solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).

Peptide array screening with anti-GLP-1 monoclonal antibody: Discovery of cysteine-containing DPP-IV inhibitory peptides.

Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is an effective pharmacotherapy for the management of type 2 diabetes. Recent findings have suggested that various dietary proteins can serve as precursors to peptides that inhibit DPP-IV. Although several DPP-IV inhibitory peptides derived from food materials have been reported, more effective inhibitory peptides remain to be discovered.

Overexpression of TSPAN8 in consensus molecular subtype 3 colorectal cancer.

Background: Recently, consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) have been proposed as a robust transcriptome-based classification system for colorectal cancer (CRC). Tetraspanins (TSPANs) are transmembrane proteins. They have been associated with the development of numerous malignancies, including CRC, through their role as "master organizers" for multi-molecular membrane complexes.
