The inhibition of certain digestive enzymes by target food matrices represents a new approach in the treatment of socially significant diseases. Proving the ability of fruits to inhibit such enzymes can support the inclusion of specific varieties in the daily diets of patients with diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, etc., providing them with much more than just valuable micro- and macromolecules. The current study aimed atidentifying and comparing the GC-MS metabolic profiles of eight peach varieties (“Filina”, “Ufo 4, “Gergana”, “Laskava”, “July Lady”, “Flat Queen”, “Evmolpiya”, and “Morsiani 90”) grown in Bulgaria (local and introduced) and to evaluate the inhibitory potential of their extracts towards α-glucosidase, α-amylase, lipase, and acetylcholinesterase. In order to confirm samples’ differences or similarities, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were also applied to the identified metabolites. The results provide important insights into the metabolomic profiles of the eight peach varieties and represent a first attempt to characterize the peels of the peach varieties with respect to α-glucosidase-, α-amylase-, lipase-, and acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory activities. All of the studied peach extracts displayed inhibitory activity towards α-glucosidase (IC50: 125–757 mg/mL) and acetylcholinesterase (IC50: 60–739 mg/mL), but none of them affected α-amylase activity. Five of the eight varieties showed inhibitory activity towards porcine pancreatic lipase (IC50: 24–167 mg/mL). The obtained results validate the usefulness of peaches and nectarines as valuable sources of natural agents beneficial for human health, although further detailed investigation should be performed in order to thoroughly identify the enzyme inhibitors responsible for each activity. 相似文献

There is a paramount need to develop new techniques and tools that will extract as much information as possible from the ever growing repository of protein 3D structures. We report here on the development of a software tool for the multiple superimposition of large sets of protein structural motifs. Our superimposition methodology performs a systematic search for the atom pairing that provides the best fit. During this search, the RMSD values for all chemically relevant pairings are calculated by quaternion algebra. The number of evaluated pairings is markedly decreased by using PDB annotations for atoms. This approach guarantees that the best fit will be found and can be applied even when sequence similarity is low or does not exist at all. We have implemented this methodology in the Web application SiteBinder, which is able to process up to thousands of protein structural motifs in a very short time, and which provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Our benchmarking analysis has shown the robustness, efficiency, and versatility of our methodology and its implementation by the successful superimposition of 1000 experimentally determined structures for each of 32 eukaryotic linear motifs. We also demonstrate the applicability of SiteBinder using three case studies. We first compared the structures of 61 PA-IIL sugar binding sites containing nine different sugars, and we found that the sugar binding sites of PA-IIL and its mutants have a conserved structure despite their binding different sugars. We then superimposed over 300 zinc finger central motifs and revealed that the molecular structure in the vicinity of the Zn atom is highly conserved. Finally, we superimposed 12 BH3 domains from pro-apoptotic proteins. Our findings come to support the hypothesis that there is a structural basis for the functional segregation of BH3-only proteins into activators and enablers. 相似文献

N6-Isopentenyladenine (L1) was subjected to variously acidic media in 0.1 M, 1 M and 2 M HCl. In dependence on the acidity of the medium, the formation of three main acid hydrolysis products, involving the N6-isopentenyladeninium (HL1) (1), 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,7-dimethyl-3H-pyrimido[2,1-i]purin-6-ium (HL2) (2) or 5-amino-4-(4,4-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-yl)-imidazolium (H(2)L3) (3-5) cations, were determined and characterized by multinuclear solution-state NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by single crystal X-ray analysis. The coordination abilities of these transformation products have been also investigated. The compounds of the compositions [Zn(HL1)Cl(3)]·H(2)O (1), [Zn(3)(HL2)(2)Cl(8)] (2), (H(2)L3)[CuCl(4)] (4) and (H(2)L3)[ZnCl(4)] (5) have been prepared in dependence on the acidity of the medium used by the reactions of L1 with ZnCl(2)·1.5H(2)O or CuCl(2)·2H(2)O. Based on the NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic results, the mechanism of transformation of L1 in the acidic medium, involving the protonation, cyclization and ring fission, has been suggested. 相似文献

The paper deals with the absorption of ammonia in a model fertilizer of ammonium nitrate. Volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient quantitatively characterizing the process was estimated on the basis of experimental data and kinetics modeling. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient depends on the temperature, content of water in the fertilizer and hydrodynamic conditions. Different hydrodynamic conditions were simulated by different speeds of the propeller stirrer. The empirical equation describing the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient was proposed. 相似文献

It is known that paraunitary matrices can be factorized into shift products of orthogonal matrices or linear factors. When the number of rows of such a matrix (i.e. the number of channels of a paraunitary filter bank) is even, the symmetry constraints corresponding to the linear phase property of the filter bank can be expressed as restrictions on factors — except the very first one, all must be centrosymmetric. For odd numbers of rows the situation is more complicated. It turns out that paraunitary matrices comprising an even number of square blocks do not exist and quadratic centrosymmetric factors have to be used in the 0-shift product factorization. The centrosymmetric linear and quadratic factors can be easily obtained from partitions of centrosymmetric orthogonal matrices. Their parameterizations are also described.The characterizations of paraunitary matrices obtained from these factorizations are complete; the question of the number of free parameters is discussed. Furthermore, the proposed factorizations also allow us to derive lattice structures for linear phase paraunitary filter banks and, since the basic regularity conditions can be incorporated as a constraint on the first factor, they can be used also for the construction of symmetric higher multiplicity wavelets.and Cooperative Research Centre for Sensor Signal and Information ProcessingThe author is an Overseas Postgraduate Research Scholar supported by the Australian Government. 相似文献

Electro-optics of colloid-polyelectrolyte complexes: counterion release from adsorbed macromolecules
Complexation between sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) and ellipsoidal particles of oppositely charged beta-FeOOH is studied using electric light scattering and electrophoresis. We focus on the complex behavior for overcharging of the particle surface. In this case, the fraction of condensed counterions on NaCMC is found to remain unchanged during polymer adsorption onto a weakly charged particle surface. Using the theory of Sens and Joanny, we evaluate the fraction of condensed counterions and compare it with results for nonadsorbed NaCMC. The polarization of condensed counterions along the chain of the adsorbed macromolecule is proved to create the electro-optical effect in suspensions stabilized by NaCMC adsorption. 相似文献

The adsorption of sodium poly(4-styrene sulfonate) on oppositely charged beta-FeOOH particles is studied by electrooptics. The focus of this paper is on the release of condensed counterions from adsorbed polyelectrolyte upon surface charge overcompensation. The fraction of condensed Na+ counterions on the adsorbed polyion surface is estimated according to the theory of Sens and Joanny and it is compared with the fraction of condensed counterions on nonadsorbed polyelectrolyte. The relaxation frequency of the electrooptical effect from the polymer-coated particle is found to depend on the polyelectrolyte molecular weight. This is attributed to polarization of the layer from condensed counterions on the polyion surface, being responsible for creation of the effect from particles covered with highly charged polyelectrolyte. The number of the adsorbed chains is calculated also assuming counterion condensation on the adsorbed polyelectrolyte and semiquantative agreement is found with the result obtained from the condensed counterion polarizability of the polymer-coated particle. Our findings are in line with theoretical predictions that the fraction of condensed counterions remains unchanged due to the adsorption of highly charged polyelectrolyte onto weakly charged substrate. 相似文献

Non‐heme iron halogenases are synthetically valuable biocatalysts that are capable of halogenating unactivated sp3‐hybridized carbon centers with high stereo‐ and regioselectivity. The reported substrate scope of these enzymes, however, is limited primarily to the natural substrates and their analogues. We engineered the halogenase WelO5* for chlorination of a martinelline‐derived fragment. Using structure‐guided evolution, a halogenase variant with a more than 290‐fold higher total turnover number and a 400‐fold higher apparent kcat compared to the wildtype enzyme was generated. Moreover, we identified key positions in the active site that allow direction of the halogen to different positions in the target substrate. This is the first example of enzyme engineering to expand the substrate scope of a non‐heme iron halogenase beyond the native indole‐alkaloid‐type substrates. The highly evolvable nature of WelO5* underscores the usefulness of this enzyme family for late‐stage halogenation. 相似文献
