The ability of RNAase E2 to degradate dinucleoside moniphosphates and to form internucleotide bonds was studied. The compounds of the GpN type were found to be a good substrate for RNase C2. The pH optimum for GpC was 5.5 (acetate buffer) and the temperature optimum was 30 degrees C. The values of Km and Vmax on GpC, GpA, GpG and GpU were determined. The affinity of the substrates for the enzyme decreased in the sequence GpC greater than GpG greater than GpA GREATER THAN GpU. RNase C2 catalyze the synthesis of GpC and GpU. The yield of GpC amounted to 60% and that of GpU was 35%. These data indicate that RNase C2 FROM Asp. clavatum is guanyl ribonuclease (EC 3.1.4.8.).

Introduction: To investigate the potential causal relationship between cathepsins and Narcolepsy Type 1 (NT1), along with the mediating influence of cerebrospinal fluid metabolites.

Method: We performed a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. Data on nine plasma cathepsins and 338 cerebrospinal fluid metabolites were sourced from the IEU OpenGWAS database, and NT1 were obtained from the FinnGen consortium's R10 release.

The incidence of acute liver injury is increasing and poses a significant threat to human health. Ganoderma lucidum spore oil (GLSO), a lipid substance extracted from Ganoderma lucidum spore powder using supercritical CO technology, has been investigated for its potential to prevent acute liver injury. However, the specific mechanism underlying the protective effects of GLSO remains incompletely understood.

Lignin is a naturally derived biomacromolecule with excellent biocompatibility and the potential for biomedical application. For the first time, this study isolated nanosized lignin microspheres (LMSs) directly from wheat straw with a polyol-based deep eutectic solvent. The size of these LMSs can be regulated by changing the isolation parameters, ranging from 90 nm to 330 nm.

Background And Aims: Meteorin-like protein (Metrnl) has been recently suggested as a new adipokine with protective cardiovascular effects. Its circulating levels in patients seem to be associated with heart failure (HF), although with contradictory results. Our aim was to ascertain whether this adipokine could estimate the prognosis of HF in de novo HF (DNHF) patients.
