The complexes of general formula [(LMS)2Pd(amino acid)]Cl with LMS = levamisole, and amino acid = L-alanine, L-phenylglycine, L-phenylalanine, L-valine, L-methionine, and L-proline, were synthesized by the interaction of [(LMS)2PdCl2] with the sodium salts of L-amino acids. The newly synthesized complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, optical rotation measurements, and UV-Vis, IR and 13C NMR spectral data. Levamisole is coordinated to palladium via the N-7 nitrogen and the amino acids through the amino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen, except for L-methionine which binds the metal via nitrogen and sulfur atoms. Optically active [(LMS)2Pd(amino acid)]Cl complexes are obtained when L-amino acids or D,L-amino acids are used for the synthesis of these complexes. L-Methionine and L-proline complexes induce new cell forms in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells.

A simple and fast LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of 20 L-amino acids (AAs) in human plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent AdvanceBio Hilic column within 15 min via gradient elution with an aqueous solution containing 5 mM ammonium formate, 5 mM ammonium acetate and 0.1 % formic acid and an organic mobile phase containing 0.

The first monomeric pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent transaminase from a marine, aromatic-compound-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium Tol2, has been studied using structural, kinetic, and spectral methods. The monomeric organization of the transaminase was confirmed by both gel filtration and crystallography. The PLP-dependent transaminase is of the fold type IV and deaminates D-alanine and ()-phenylethylamine in half-reactions.

Novel and simple spectrophotometric and distance based procedures for thiols (L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, and glutathione) determination in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals have been proposed based on their inhibitory action on the oxidation of catechol in the presence of Agaricus bisporus crude extract (ABE). The influence of L-glycine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-methionine, L-cystine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and bilirubin on the thiol determination has been investigated. Uric acid, bilirubin, L-cystine (oxidized thiol), and L-amino acids do not interfere with the determination.

Antibiotic abuse has led to an increasingly serious risk of antimicrobial resistance, developing alternative antimicrobials to combat this alarming issue is urgently needed. Rhesus theta defensin-1 (RTD-1) is a theta-defensin contributing to broad-spectrum bactericidal activity via the mechanisms of membrane perturbation. Intriguingly, human defensin-6 (HD6), an enteric defensin secreted by Paneth cells without direct bactericidal effect, could self-assembled into fibrous networks to trap enteric pathogens for assistance of innate immunity.

Article Synopsis
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health issue that can progress to more serious conditions like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver cancer (HCC), but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood.
- This study focuses on how microRNA-122 regulates pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and its impact on inflammatory and autophagic proteins during NAFLD development using both cell cultures and animal models.
- Results indicate that free fatty acids (FFAs) reduce miR-122 levels, leading to increased PKM2 and inflammation while suppressing proteins related to autophagy, highlighting the complex interactions that contribute to NA
