Discoveries in bacterial nucleotide metabolism.
Mydecision to become a biochemist has its roots in youthful indecision. I grew up on a dairy farm in northwestern Illinois surrounded by domestic and wild animal and plant life and came to love the world of biology. This interest was strongly encouraged by my mother, who had been an excellent student of biology in college but was thwarted by the Great Depression and her family’s poverty from pu...
متن کاملNucleotide specificity in bacterial mRNA recycling.
Messenger RNA recycling is an essential activity, important for replenishing the nucleotide pool and for gene regulation. Degradation of existing mRNAs and synthesis of different ones enable the cell to change its protein expression program. This latter function is especially important for bacteria that divide rapidly and that must respond quickly to environmental changes. Two papers in PNAS, b...
متن کاملEffective in vitro gene delivery to murine cancerous brain cells using carbon nanotube-polyethylenimine conjugates
Objective(s): Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been widely applied at molecular and cellular levels due to its exceptional properties. Studies based on conjugation of CNTs with biological molecules indicated that biological activity is preserved. Polyethylenimine (PEI) is explored in designing novel gene delivery vectors due to its ability to condense plasmid DNA through electrostatic attraction. In t...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles stabilize peptide-drug-conjugates for sustained targeted drug delivery to cancer cells
BACKGROUND Peptide-drug-conjugates (PDCs) are being developed as an effective strategy to specifically deliver cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells. However one of the challenges to their successful application is the relatively low stability of peptides in the blood, liver and kidneys. Since AuNPs seem to have a longer plasma half-life than PDCs, one approach to overcoming this problem would be to ...
متن کاملSymmetrical diamidate prodrugs of nucleotide analogues for drug delivery.
The use of pronucleotides to circumvent the well-known drawbacks of nucleotide analogs has played a significant role in the area of antiviral and anticancer drug delivery. Several motifs have been designed to mask the negative charges on the phosphorus moiety of either nucleoside monophosphates or nucleoside phosphonates, in order to increase their hydrophobicity and allow entry of the compound...
