Phenylketonuria (PKU) is characterized by an autosomal recessive mutation in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. Impaired PAH enzyme activity leads to the accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) and its metabolites in the bloodstream, which disrupts the central nervous system and causes psychomotor retardation. Early diagnosis of PKU is essential for timely intervention.

Repeated hyperbaric oxygen exposure accelerates fatigue and impairs SR-calcium release in mice.

J Appl Physiol (1985)

Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology, Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, 27710, USA.

Breathing hyperoxic gas is common in diving and accelerates fatigue after prolonged and repeated exposure. The mechanism(s) remain unknown but may be related to increased oxidants that interfere with skeletal muscle calcium trafficking or impair aerobic ATP production. To determine these possibilities, C57BL/6J mice were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for 4-h on three consecutive days or remained in room air.

Hybrid Enzyme-Electrocatalyst Cascade Modified Gas-Diffusion Electrodes for Methanol Formation from Carbon Dioxide.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Analytical Chemistry - Center for Electrochemical Sciences (CES), Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ruhr University Bochum, Universitätsstr. 150, D-44780, Bochum, Germany.

We propose a hybrid electrocatalytic-bioelectrocatalytic reaction cascade integrated on a gas diffusion electrode for CO reduction under selective formation of methanol. Ag-BiO selectively reduces gaseous CO to formate at neutral pH conditions. A subsequent enzymatic cascade comprising formaldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, which are both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent, further reduce formate sequentially to formaldehyde and methanol.

Article Synopsis
  • NAD(H) is crucial for cellular metabolism, and accurately measuring it helps understand biological processes and diseases.
  • Researchers developed an electrochemical biosensor using a specific aptamer (NAD3-1a) that can accurately detect NAD(H) at low concentrations with great sensitivity and stability.
  • The biosensor revealed significant differences in NAD(H) levels between normal cells and tumor cells, as well as a decrease in aged mice, showing its potential for studying metabolic changes in health and disease.
