RIBOFLAVIN OR VITAMIN B2 (7,8-dimethyl-10-ribitylisoalloxazine) is an essential water-soluble vitamin. Riboflavin is important for normal cell functioning and for cell growth and development. Riboflavin is a major component of coenzymes FAD and flavin mononuclotide (FMN) that play a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipids. Riboflavin is also intimately involved in t...

We describe the third generation of the CAP sequence assembly program. The CAP3 program includes a number of improvements and new features. The program has a capability to clip 5' and 3' low-quality regions of reads. It uses base quality values in computation of overlaps between reads, construction of multiple sequence alignments of reads, and generation of consensus sequences. The program also...

Folate biosynthesis remains a key target for antimicrobial therapy. Folate is an essential vitamin (vitamin B9) that is required for many one-carbon transfer reactions and is a critical precursor for the biosynthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and amino acids. Unlike higher eukaryotes that scavenge preformed folates, prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic microorganisms are dependent on several enzymes...

BACKGROUND Hyperhomocysteinemia has been suspected of favoring thrombosis. Several case-control studies and even a meta-analysis have confirmed a link between venous thrombosis and hyperhomocysteinemia. Homocysteine is due to genetic and acquired factors (poor diet in folate and vitamin B12, older age, renal impairment, thyroid diseases, and malignancies) induced by the intake and the concentra...

Bu çalışma, Henderson (1961)’ın Türkiye kareleme sistemine göre B9 karesi içerisinde, şimdiye kadar yapraklı karayosunu (Bryophyta) ve ciğerotları (Marchantiophyta) ile ilgili yapılmış olan araştırmalara dayanan güncel bir listeyi içermektedir.

The objective of this update is to give an overview of the effects of dietary nutrients on the structure and certain functions of the brain. As any other organ, the brain is elaborated from substances present in the diet (sometimes exclusively, for vitamins, minerals, essential amino-acids and essential fatty acids, including omega- 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids). However, for long it was not f...

Although selenium nanoparticles (Nano Se) have gained attention for their anti-cancer and antioxidant activity, this nanomaterial's antimicrobial activity also has great potential. The aim of study was to synthesize Nano Se edible coating solution through gamma irradiation technique with a bio-stabilizer sodium alginate (Na-alg.), which is an ingredient commonly used in food preservation. Dynam...

The B-vitamins comprise a group of eight water soluble vitamins that perform essential, closely inter-related roles in cellular functioning, acting as co-enzymes in a vast array of catabolic and anabolic enzymatic reactions. Their collective effects are particularly prevalent to numerous aspects of brain function, including energy production, DNA/RNA synthesis/repair, genomic and non-genomic me...

Different metabolic profiles as well as comorbidities are common in people with Down Syndrome (DS). Therefore it is relevant to know whether micronutrient levels in people with DS are also different. This systematic review was designed to review the literature on micronutrient levels in people with DS compared to age and sex-matched controls without DS. We identified sixty nine studies from Jan...
