Exploring the therapeutic space around NAD+
نویسندگان
چکیده
NAD(+) is a central metabolite in the cell. Changes in NAD(+) abundance and the activity of NAD(+)-dependent enzymes, such as the sirtuins, are at the core of metabolic/mitochondrial diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, and of cancer and neurodegeneration. Here, we discuss how maintaining or raising NAD(+) levels can improve metabolism and prevent age-related functional decline and associated disease, and how basic scientific discoveries in the NAD(+) signaling pathway are being translated to the clinic.

متن کاملExploring “Absent Presence” and “offstage Space” in Sam Shepard’s True West
There are several dramatic characters who enormously appeal to us since they are attractive. Part of this attraction might be owing to their strong stage presence. More interesting, however, are characters who do not appear on stage but their “absent presence” is so strong that influences the characters who do appear physically on stage. There are numerous examples of...
متن کاملCrystal Structures and Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Thermophilic Malate Dehydrogenase Reveal Critical Loop Motion for Co-Substrate Binding
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate and malate by using the NAD/NADH coenzyme system. The system is used as a conjugate for enzyme immunoassays of a wide variety of compounds, such as illegal drugs, drugs used in therapeutic applications and hormones. We elucidated the biochemical and structural features of MDH from Thermus thermophilus (TtMDH) for use in various...
