Radioiodine D amino acids labeling of Rituximab, a new method for enhancing the radiopharmaceutical targetingand biostability
Introduction: Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a very promising new therapy for the treatment of recurrent B-Cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Iodine-131 is the most frequently used nuclide in clinical RIT, but its usefulness has been limited by dehalogenation of monoclonal antibodies labeled via conventional methods. To circumvent this problem, we have synthesized a tr...
متن کاملBiological role of D-amino acid oxidase and D-aspartate oxidase. Effects of D-amino acids.
D-Amino acids administered to animals are absorbed by the intestine and transported through the blood-stream to solid tissues where they are oxidized in vivo by D-amino acid oxidase and D-aspartate oxidase to produce the same compounds they do in vitro; i.e. NH3, H2O2, and the keto acid corresponding to the amino acid ingested. In the liver and kidneys of the animals, an inverse relationship ex...
متن کاملPolyamide amino acids: a new class of RNA ligands.
This communication introduces a new class of promising RNA ligands, named polyamide amino acids (PAA), which are able to bind a targeted bulged stem-loop RNA fragment (HIV-1 TAR RNA) with micromolar affinities and with specificity comparative to dsDNA and tRNA; both the affinity and the specificity of PAA for TAR depend on their length and on the nature of the amino acid residues.
متن کاملD-amino acids trigger biofilm disassembly.
Bacteria form communities known as biofilms, which disassemble over time. In our studies outlined here, we found that, before biofilm disassembly, Bacillus subtilis produced a factor that prevented biofilm formation and could break down existing biofilms. The factor was shown to be a mixture of D-leucine, D-methionine, D-tyrosine, and D-tryptophan that could act at nanomolar concentrations. D-a...
متن کاملPyridoxal enzymes acting on D-amino acids
We isolated a thermophile, Bacillus sp. YM-1 which abundantly produced the thermostable D-amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.21; D-AAT), and cloned the enzyme gene into E. coli. The primary structure of D-AAT was found to be homologous with that of branched-chain L-amino acid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.42; BCAT) of E. coli. Both enzymes are unique in their stereospecificity of proR C-4' hydr...
