The formation of electrostatically coupled assemblies of a series of anionic dendritic fullerene derivatives and cationic porphyrins in buffered aqueous media was studied with gel electrophoresis. Of central interest in these investigations was the variation of the amount of charge carried by the molecules, their size, shape and self-aggregation. Ferric cytochrome c 1 and the more rigid zinc porphyrin served as octacationic species. The two new anionic fullerene derivates 3 and 6 were synthesized. The formation of electrostatic complexes of the fullerene polyelectrolytes 3 and 4 with 1and 2 was clearly evident in the gel electrophoresis experiment. Compounds and showed a similar behaviour towards 2. The electrophoresis experiments confirmed previous results obtained with other techniques on a qualitative level and gave new insights into aggregation phenomena.

Sabah has the highest prevalence of β-thalassemia in Malaysia, with the Filipino β-deletion as the predominant mutation. Patients with the homozygous Filipino β-deletion exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity due to various genetic modifiers, yet the effects of these modifiers on the clinical phenotype remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of the coinheritance of α-thalassemia, I-γ rs7482144, rs766432, and 5'HS4 rs16912979 polymorphisms on the clinical phenotype of homozygous Filipino β-deletion patients in Sabah.

Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is an optical sensor-based analytical method primarily used for analyzing interactions between biomolecules. In this study, we explored the application of BLI to observe the cleavage reaction of glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged fusion protein by human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease on a BLI sensor as a new application of the BLI method. The soluble domain of the Tic22 protein from was expressed and purified as a GST-tagged fusion protein, GST-Tic22, in .

Dominantly inherited intronic GAA repeat expansions in the fibroblast growth factor 14 gene have recently been shown to cause spinocerebellar ataxia 27B. Currently, the pathogenic threshold of (GAA) repeat units is considered highly penetrant, while (GAA) is likely pathogenic with reduced penetrance. This study investigated the frequency of the GAA repeat expansion and the phenotypic profile in a Cypriot cohort with unresolved late-onset cerebellar ataxia.

Gluten-free products must not contain more than 20 mg/kg of gluten to be safe for consumption by celiac disease patients. Almost all analytical methods are calibrated to wheat, wheat gluten or gliadin, and there is no rye-specific reference material available. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the harvest year on rye gluten composition and to generate distinct rye isolates to serve as calibration standards.

Dengue virus (DENV) is an important arthropod-borne viral disease, with four antigenically and genetically diverse serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). Timely and accurate diagnosis of dengue virus serotypes is crucial for the management of outbreaks. This study focussed on the development of a RT-PCR based lateral flow strip assay to detect DENV serotypes in a dual detection manner without using gel electrophoresis.
