Inhibition of the lysis of fungi by melanins.
Evidence is presented that the resistance of Aspergillus nidulans hyphae to lysis by a beta-(1-->3) glucanase-chitinase mixture results from the presence of melanin in the fungal walls. The resistance of the walls to digestion was directly correlated with the melanin content of the mycelium. A melanin-less mutant of A. nidulans was highly susceptible to hydrolysis by the enzyme mixture. Preincu...
متن کاملInhibitory Effect of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum and Camellia Sinensis Extracts on the Hen EggWhite Lysozyme Fibrillation
Background & Aims: Many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson and Huntington diseases are associated with the deposition proteinaceous aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. Currently, there is no approved therapeutic agent for inhibition of fibrillar assemblies. One important approach in the development of therapeutic agents is the use of herbal extracts. At the present com...
متن کاملComparative Studies on Interactions of Synthetic and Natural Compounds with Hen Egg-White Lysozyme
Amyloid aggregation of polypeptides is related to a growing number of pathologic states known as amyloid disorders. In recent years, blocking or reversing amyloid aggregation via the use of small compounds are considered as two useful approaches in hampering the development of these diseases. In this research, we have compared the ability of several manganese-salen derivatives, as synthetic com...
متن کاملChemosorption of radiometals of interest to nuclear medicine by synthetic melanins.
INTRODUCTION Melanins are high-molecular-weight pigments that are ubiquitous in nature and can also be synthesized in the laboratory from a variety of precursors. Melanins possess numerous interesting physicochemical characteristics, including electromagnetic radiation absorption properties and ability to chelate metals. We have recently reported that melanin has remarkable ionizing-radiation-s...
