Using chiral amino acids as terminal ligands, colorless crystals of Cd(SCN)(l-CHNO)(HO)·0.5CHOH () and Cd(SCN)(l-CHNO) () were obtained by a solvent evaporation method. Compound has a layered structure with a moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency (0.2 × KHPO) and a large birefringence (0.301 at 546 nm). Compound features a molecular structure with a strong SHG efficiency (2.67 × KHPO) and a wide band gap (4.84 eV). Theoretical calculations were performed to elucidate the origin of the large SHG response of compound .

Covalent modification is an effective strategy for reducing allergenicity to individual allergens, but there are few studies on this strategy modifying specific amino acids within epitopes under the influence of food matrix. This study used fucoidan to covalently modify shrimp () and combined mass spectrometry and bioinformatics techniques to explore epitope modification. The results showed that lower concentrations (<2.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly metastatic malignancy. More than 80% of patients with PC present with advanced-stage disease, preventing potentially curative surgery. The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system, best known for its role in controlling energy homeostasis, has also been shown to promote tumorigenesis in a range of cancer types, but its role in PC has yet to be explored.

Disrupted microbial cross-feeding and altered L-phenylalanine consumption in people living with HIV.

Brief Bioinform

March 2025

Division of Microbiology, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Tulane University, Covington, LA 70433, United States.

This work aims to (1) identify microbial and metabolic alterations and (2) reveal a shift in phenylalanine production-consumption equilibrium in individuals with HIV. We conducted extensive searches in multiple databases [MEDLINE, Web of Science (including Cell Press, Oxford, HighWire, Science Direct, IOS Press, Springer Nature, PNAS, and Wiley), Google Scholar, and Embase] and selected two case-control 16S data sets (GenBank IDs: SRP039076 and EBI ID: ERP003611) for analysis. We assessed alpha and beta diversity, performed univariate tests on genus-level relative abundances, and identified significant microbiome features using random forest.

The linseed processing was carried out on a laboratory scale to obtain the linseed protein concentrate (LPC), using the physical method. The analyzes were carried out on whole grains (WG), demucilated grains (DG) and LPC. In the fractions obtained, the chemical composition (dry matter, ash, lipids, crude protein, total dietary fiber, soluble fiber and insoluble fiber), total phenolic compounds and physicochemical properties were evaluated in the obtained fractions.

Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Synthesis of Zhejiang Province, College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Zhejiang University of Technology, No. 18, Chaowang Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, 310014, P. R. China.

S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) is an important compound with significant pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Currently, microbial fermentation is dominant in SAM production, which remains challenging due to its complex biosynthetic pathway and insufficient precursor availability. In this study, a multimodule engineering strategy based on CRISPR/Cas9 was established to improve the SAM productivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
