TL;DR: Results of sensory analyses revealed that protein fortification of bread with MP significantly affected bread texture and overall liking, as well as crust colour, depending on the substitution level, suggesting that the production of breads with MP might easily be scaled up at industrial level.

TL;DR: Nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT) can be detected extracellularly, binds to Toll like receptor 4, and activates NF-kB signaling and cytokine production in macrophage via NAD synthesis-independent pathways, identifying NAPRT as a endogenous ligand for TLR4 and a mediator of inflammation.

TL;DR: The orphan YqeK protein family (COG1713) is identified as an unprecedented class of symmetrically-cleaving Ap4A hydrolase family, with members distributed in a consistent group of bacterial species that lack the ApaH enzyme.

TL;DR: Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, and its precursors nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and NAD+ were quantitated by a fluorometric assay in ten commercial craft beers and throughout the fermentation process of a laboratory-scale beer.

TL;DR: In this article , a continuous coupled fluorometric assay was proposed for detecting NAMPT inhibitors, where the product of the NAPRT-catalyzed reaction is enzymatically converted to NADH, and NADH formation is measured fluorometrically.
