Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitors using metabolomics biased fragment crystallography.

TL;DR: A novel fragment library termed fragments of life (FOL) for structure-based drug discovery including natural small molecules of life, derivatives thereof, and biaryl protein architecture mimetics is described and screened against leukotriene A4 hydrolase by X-ray crystallography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional interaction and partial homology between human immunodeficiency virus and neuroleukin

TL;DR: The inhibition by HIV-1 of neuron growth in the presence of NLK was found to be due to the gp120 envelope glycoprotein, and regions of sequence homology between gp120 and NLK may account for this inhibitory property of gp120.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suppression of sprouting at the neuromuscular junction by immune sera

TL;DR: Rabbit antisera against a 56,000 (56K)-molecular weight protein secreted by denervated rat muscle suppress botulinum toxin-induced terminal sprouting in the mouse gluteus muscle, detecting an immune response against this protein in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bicarbonate enhances peroxidase activity of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase. Role of carbonate anion radical and scavenging of carbonate anion radical by metalloporphyrin antioxidant enzyme mimetics.

TL;DR: It is proposed that DCFH oxidation to DCF is a sensitive index for measuring the peroxidase activity of SOD1 and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis S OD1 mutants and that the carbonate radical anion (CO⨪3) is responsible for oxidation of DCFH to DCf in the SOD 1/H2O2/bicarbonate system.
