A binary system of photoaffinity reagents for selective affinity labeling of DNA polymerases has been developed. The photoreactive probe was formed in nuclear extract, using an end-labeled oligonucleotide containing a synthetic abasic site. This site was incised by apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease and then dNMPs carrying a photoreactive adduct were added to the 3(') hydroxyl using base-substituted arylazido derivatives of dUTP or dCTP. This results in the synthesis of photoreactive base excision repair (BER) intermediates. The photoreactive group was then activated, either directly (UV light exposure 320nm) or in the presence of the sensitizer of dTTP analog containing a pyrene group (Pyr-dUTP) under UV light 365nm. DNA polymerase beta was the main target crosslinked by photoreactive BER intermediates in this nuclear extract. In contrast, several proteins were labeled under the conditions of direct activation of arylazido group.

The study of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in cell culture is mainly based on cloned viral isolates requiring adaptation for efficient replication in Huh7 hepatoma cells. The analysis of wild-type (WT) isolates was enabled by the expression of SEC14L2 and by inhibitors targeting deleterious host factors. Here, we aimed to optimize cell culture models to allow infection with HCV from patient sera.

Lignin, the most abundant natural aromatic polymer, holds considerable promise for applications in various industries. The primary obstacle to the valorization of lignin into useful materials is its low molecular weight and diminished chemical reactivity, attributable to its intricate structure. This study aimed to treat lignocellulosic biomass using a switchable solvent (DBU-HexOH/HO) derived from the non-nucleophilic superbase 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.

Anderss (Salicaceae), commonly referred to as Korean willow, is native to East Asia, particularly Korea and China, and it has been used in traditional Korean folk medicine for its potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties. In our ongoing research efforts to discover biologically new natural products, phytochemical analysis on an ethanolic extract of twigs yielded the isolation and identification of ten phenolic compounds (-), including a newly discovered phenolic glycoside () named isograndidentatin D, isolated via HPLC purification. The structure of compound was determined through extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectral data analysis and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESIMS).
