Journal ArticleDOI

Investigations of the effects of gender, diurnal variation, and age in human urinary metabolomic profiles.

TL;DR: Differences in gender, diurnal variation, and age in a human population are explored and targeted profiling produces robust models, generates accurate metabolite concentration data, and provides data that can be used to help understand metabolic differences in a healthy population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solvated interaction energy (SIE) for scoring protein-ligand binding affinities. 1. Exploring the parameter space.

TL;DR: It is found that retaining water in the final protein structure used for calculating the binding free energy is not necessary to obtain good results; that is the continuum solvation model is sufficient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Density Functional Study of the Proline-Catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction

TL;DR: In this paper, the proline-catalyzed direct aldol reaction between acetone and acetaldehyde has been investigated using density functional theory, and an alternative lower energy reaction pathway is utilized when the ionizing solvent DMSO is present to assist in the formation and stabilization of separated charges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the human salivary metabolome.

TL;DR: Results show that differences between male and female, stimulated and unstimulated, as well as smoking status may be observed in the salivary metabolome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Healthcare transition for youth with heart disease: a clinical trial

TL;DR: A 1 h nurse-led transition intervention resulted in a significant improvement in self-management and cardiac knowledge scores and an educational intervention should be routine for youth with congenital or acquired heart disease.
