The tumour suppressor p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. Reactivation of mutant by small molecules an exciting potential cancer therapy. Although several compounds restore wild-type function to p53, their binding sites and mechanisms action are elusive. Here computational methods identify a transiently open pocket between loop L1 sheet S3 core domain. Mutation residue Cys124, located at centre pocket, abolishes reactivation R175H PRIMA-1, known compound. Ensemble-based...

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) (e.g., Microcystis and Nodularia spp.) capable of producing toxic peptides are found in fresh brackish water worldwide. These toxins include the microcystin (MC) heptapeptides (>60 congeners) nodularin pentapeptides (ca. 5 congeners). Cyanobacterial cyclic peptide harmful to man, other mammals, birds, fish. Acute exposure high concentrations these causes liver damage, while subchronic or chronic may promote tumor formation. The detection cyanobacterial...

Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a key xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme that oxidizes and clears the majority of drugs. CYP3A4 inhibition may lead to drug-drug interactions, toxicity, other adverse effects but, in some cases, could be beneficial enhance therapeutic efficiency coadministered pharmaceuticals are metabolized by CYP3A4. On basis our investigations analogs ritonavir, potent inactivator pharmacoenhancer, we have built pharmacophore model for CYP3A4-specific inhibitor. This...

Quantification of black carbon (BC), carbonaceous material pyrogenic origin, has typically required either chemical or thermal oxidation methods for isolation from heterogeneous matrices, such as sediment soil. The benzene polycarboxylic acid (BPCA) method involves aromatic structures, those in BC, into BPCAs. We revised the BPCA with intent to quantify BC marine dissolved organic (DOC). As part this work, we evaluated mechanism and yield using nine polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs) six...

RAD51 recombinase activity plays a critical role for cancer cell proliferation and survival, often contributes to drug-resistance. Abnormally elevated function hyperactive homologous recombination (HR) rates have been found in panel of cancers, including breast chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful biophysical technique for studying protein structure, function, dynamics, and intermolecular interactions. Such studies are often conducted using intrinsic probes, such as tryptophan residues, or extrinsic probes introduced by post-translational modification, dansyl. Specificity, however, concern since many proteins contain more than one chemical modification will occur at site. Herein we report the in vitro, site-specific incorporation of three...
