Ovalbumin with Glycated Carboxyl Groups Shows Membrane-Damaging Activity
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether glycated ovalbumin (OVA) showed novel activity at the lipid-water interface. Mannosylated OVA (Man-OVA) was prepared by modification of the carboxyl groups with p-aminophenyl α-dextro (d)-mannopyranoside. An increase in the number of modified carboxyl groups increased the membrane-damaging activity of Man-OVA on cell membrane-mimicking ves...
متن کاملBactericidal Activity of Curcumin I Is Associated with Damaging of Bacterial Membrane
Curcumin, an important constituent of turmeric, is known for various biological activities, primarily due to its antioxidant mechanism. The present study focused on the antibacterial activity of curcumin I, a significant component of commercial curcumin, against four genera of bacteria, including those that are Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative (E...
متن کاملGlycated IAPP shows a reduced inhibitory action on insulin secretion.
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) also called amylin is a 37 amino acid long peptide co-secreted with insulin in a regulated manner from pancreatic B-cell in response to nutrient ingestion. IAPP was originally isolated from post-mortem pancreatic amyloid deposits from human NIDDM cases (11 and has been associated with the pathogenesis of amyloidosis [2]. IAPP is structurally similar to calcitoni...
متن کاملCarboxyl Groups in Carbohydrate-concanavalin a Interaction
I. The role of carboxyl groups in the binding of specific carbohydrates to concanavalin A, the phytohemagglutinin of the jack bean, has been studied using two techniques: (I) H + titration in the presence and absence of methyl a-D-mannopyranoside, a specifically bound carbohydrate ligand and (2) chemical modification of the protein carboxyl groups employing glycine methyl ester and a water-solu...
متن کاملCarboxyl groups at the membrane interface as molecular targets for local anesthetics.
The interaction of the tertiary amine drugs chlorpromazine and dibucaine in their cationic form with carboxyl groups at the membrane surface is studied at concentrations relevant to anesthesia. Spin-labeled stearic acid is used both to provide the carboxyl groups and to monitor binding and ionization behavior in egg lecithin liposomes. Membrane anesthetic concentrations are spectrophotometrical...
