Echinacoside regulates PI3K/AKT/HIF-1 α/VEGF cross signaling axis in proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer
CONCLUSION: In summary, ECH played an important role in anti-BC by regulating PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway. Furthermore, ECH had multi-target and multi-pathway effects, which may be a promising natural compound for treating BC.PMID:37865269 | DOI:10.1016/j.ab.2023.115360 (Source: Analytical Biochemistry)

Advancement of microfluidic modulation spectroscopy as a highly sensitive protein characterization technique for the detection of small structural changes
This study evaluates and compares the different well plate formats and scan modes of two MMS instruments. The newer Apollo system features a high throughput 96-well plate format and sweep scan mode that allows a 50% reduction in sample volume consumption and measurement time compared to the previous system. By measuring two proteins with drastically different secondary structures, the results demonstrated that the measurements were highly repeatable (>99% repeatability by area of overlap) regardless of the well plate formats or the scan modes. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for determining structural impurity using the...

An ionic liquid-assisted sample preparation method for sensitive integral-membrane proteome analysis
In this study, we present a combined i-soln-assisted proteomic sample preparation platform (termed pTRUST), which is compatible with starting materials in the sub-microgram range, using our previously reported i-soln-based sample preparation strategy (iBOPs) and an in-StageTip technique. This novel and straightforward approach allows for the rapid solubilization and processing of a variety of IMPs from human samples to support highly sensitive mass spectrometry analysis. We also demonstrated that the performance of this technology surpasses that of conventional methods such as filter-aided sample preparation methods, FASP ...

A novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for the ultrasensitive detection of tert-butylhydroquinone in edible oils
Anal Biochem. 2023 Oct 13;682:115348. doi: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115348. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is widely used to increase the stability of food products; however, it is considered to be a highly unsafe preservative ingredient that has caused serious damage to human health. Thus, in this paper, a novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was designed for ultrasensitive, and selective detection of TBHQ in edible oils. The sensor was based on the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) synthesized with multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and gold nanoparticle (GNP), as the coating mater...

Method to generate Holliday junction recombination intermediates via RecA-mediated four-strand exchange
Anal Biochem. 2023 Oct 14;682:115347. doi: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDNA molecules that contain single Holliday junctions have served as model substrates to investigate the pathway in which homologous recombination intermediates are processed. However, the preparation of DNA containing Holliday junctions in high yield remains a challenge. In this work, we used a nicking endonuclease to generate gapped DNA, from which α-structured DNA or figure-8 DNA were created via RecA-mediated reactions. The resulting DNA molecules were found to serve as good substrates for Holliday junction resolvases. Th...
