A high throughput screen performed to identify catalytic inhibitors of the oncogenic fusion form of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A catalytic subunit alpha (J-PKAcα) found an individual fraction from an organic extract of the marine soft coral as active. Bioassay-guided isolation led to the identification of a 2-amino adenine alkaloid acroamine A (), the first secondary metabolite discovered from this genus and previously reported as a synthetic product. As a naturally occurring protein kinase inhibitor, to unambiguously assign its chemical structure using modern spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques, five -methylated derivatives acroamines A-A (-) were semisynthesized.

Sustainably enhancing crop production is a global necessity to meet the escalating demand for staple crops while sustainably managing their associated carbon/nitrogen inputs. Leveraging plant-associated microbiomes is a promising avenue for addressing this demand. However, studying these communities and engineering them for sustainable enhancement of crop production have remained a challenge due to limited genetic tools and methods.

Introduction: Given the increase in life expectancy in the general population of our country, there is an exponential increase since the last decades of functional older adults who undergo total knee replacement (TKR). There is a direct relationship between the increase in age and the prevalence of both functional and cognitive disabling chronic diseases, however, little we know about whether age is an independent factor in predicting worse functional outcomes and readmissions after TKR. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical-functional results and unplanned readmissions within the first 90 postoperative days in patients older than 80 years compared with a control group of patients younger than 80 years.

Hemoglobin fractionation by Sebia Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing System as primary method for evaluation of hemoglobinopathies.

Clin Chim Acta

August 2021

Department of Pathology and Immunology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, United States; Section of Clinical Chemistry, Division of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Pathology, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX, United States. Electronic address:

Background: Hemoglobin fractionation by capillary zone electrophoresis (CE) is becoming a popular method for the identification of hemoglobin variants that can cause hemoglobinopathies. The goal of this study was to compare the performance of capillary electrophoresis using Sebia Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing system (CE-S) with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using Primus Ultra2 Resolution Variants System (HPLC-P) as a primary method in hemoglobinopathy work-up.

Methods: A total of 306 blood specimens submitted for evaluation of hemoglobinopathies were studied using HPLC-P and CE-S.
