Azastilbene Analogs as Tyrosinase Inhibitors: New Molecules with Depigmenting Potential
This research has been an effort to develop synthetic resveratrol analogs in order to improve the depigmenting potential of natural resveratrol. Six resveratrol analogs were synthesized and tested for tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro, by qualitative and quantitative steps. The results showed the analog C as being the most powerful tyrosinase inhibitor (IA50=65.67±0.60 μg/mL), followed by...
متن کاملInactive enzyme molecules in aging mice: liver aldolase.
Evidence is presented that there is a considerable accumulation of inactive fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.7) in the liver of senescent mice. Liver aldolase was purified from 3-month-old mice and used to immunize rabbits. It was demonstrated with the monospecific antibody thus produced that the liver aldolase of young adult (3 month) and aged (31 month) mice are antigenically ident...
متن کاملSelective enrichment of damaged DNA molecules for ancient genome sequencing.
Contamination by present-day human and microbial DNA is one of the major hindrances for large-scale genomic studies using ancient biological material. We describe a new molecular method, U selection, which exploits one of the most distinctive features of ancient DNA--the presence of deoxyuracils--for selective enrichment of endogenous DNA against a complex background of contamination during DNA...
متن کاملDamaged BZip Files Are Difficult to Repair
bzip is a program written by Julian Seward that is often used under Unix to compress single files. It splits the file into blocks which are compressed individually using a combination of the Burrows-Wheeler-Transformation, the Move-To-Front algorithm, Huffman and Runlength encoding. The author himself stated that compressed blocks that are damaged, i.e., part of which are lost, are essentially ...
متن کاملAre Mitochondrial Genomes Damaged in Cancer?
The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has been implicated in carcinogenesis. It is more susceptible than nuclear DNA to damage from reactive oxygen species and mutagens, and has a limited DNA repair machinery. Studies of human cancer have shown that a small proportion of tumours carry significant mtDNA mutations but methodological flaws undermine some of these findings. Mutations in mtDNA are often ...
