Occurrence of <em>Vibrio</em> and <em>Salmonella</em> species in mussels (<em>Mytilus</em> <em>galloprovincialis</em>) collected along the Moroccan Atlantic coast

This study reports the occurrence of different Vibrio and Salmonella species in 52 samples of Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from four sites along the Atlantic coast between Agadir and...

A unified nomenclature for vertebrate olfactory receptors.
BACKGROUND: Olfactory receptors (ORs) are G protein-coupled receptors with a crucial role in odor detection. A typical mammalian genome harbors ~ 1000 OR genes and pseudogenes; however, different gene duplication/deletion events...

The risks of using unapproved gene symbols.
The use of approved nomenclature in publications is vital to enable effective scientific communication and is particularly crucial when discussing genes of clinical relevance. Here, we discuss several examples of cases where the...
The importance of being the HGNC.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) has been providing standardized symbols and names for human genes since the late 1970s. As funding agencies change their priorities, finding financial support for critical biomedical...
Screening for potential co-products in a <em>Miscanthus</em> <em>sinensis</em> mapping family by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection

Society is demanding more green chemicals from sustainable sources. Miscanthus is a potential source of platform chemicals and bioethanol through fermentation. Miscanthus sinensis (M. sinensis) has...

Potential sources of high value chemicals from leaves, stems and flowers of <em>Miscanthus sinensis</em> 'Goliath' and <em>Miscanthus sacchariflorus</em>

Society demands chemicals from sustainable sources. Identification of commercially important chemicals in crops increases value in biorefineries and reduces reliance on petrochemicals. Miscanthus sinensis...

Topical formulation and dermal delivery of active phenolic compounds in the Thai medicinal plant - <em>Clerodendrum</em> <em>petasites</em> S. Moore

Purpose: To develop topical formulations of Clerodendrum petasites S. Moore (CP), and to optimize the skin permeability and topical bioavailability of the active phenolic compounds therein. Methods: The skin...

Initial development of a cytotoxic amino-<em>seco</em>-CBI warhead for delivery by prodrug systems
Cyclopropabenzaindoles (CBIs) are exquisitely potent cytotoxins which bind and alkylate in the minor groove of DNA. They are not selective for cancer cells, so prodrugs are required. CBIs can be formed at physiological pH by...

The Lennard-Jones potential
The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential (LJ) is arguably the most widely used pair potential in molecular simulations. In fact, it is so popular that the question is rarely asked whether it is fit for purpose. In this paper, we argue...
A new assay for rhamnolipid detection-important virulence factors of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>

Rhamnolipids (RLs) are heterogeneous glycolipid molecules that are composed of one or two l-rhamnose sugars and one or two β-hydroxy fatty acids, which can vary in their length and branch size. They are biosurfactants...

Historical zoonoses and other changes in host tropism of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, identified by phylogenetic analysis of a population dataset

Background:Staphylococcus aureus exhibits tropisms to many distinct animal hosts. While spillover events can occur wherever there is an interface between host species, changes in host tropism only occur with...

The structure of the cysteine protease and lectin-like domains of Cwp84, a surface layer-associated protein from <em>Clostridium</em> <em>difficile</em>

Clostridium difficile is a major problem as an aetiological agent for antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. The mechanism by which the bacterium colonizes the gut during infection is poorly understood, but undoubtedly...
