Synthesis and Experimental Validation of New PDI Inhibitors with Antiproliferative Activity by Mariateresa Badolato, Gabriele Carullo, Francesca Aiello, Antonio Garofalo

“…PDI is a multifunctional protein that catalyzes disulfide bond formation, cleavage, and rearrangement in unfolded or misfolded proteins and functions as a chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum. Besides acting as a protein folding catalyst, several evidences have suggested that PDI can bind small molecules containing, for example, a phenolic structure, which includes the estrogenic one. …”

Polymorphism of the trehalase gene (TREH) in native populations of Siberia by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko

“…It is assumed that the increase in the frequency of this variant in the populations of Northeast Asia can have been facilitated by gene drift acting in populations of a small effective size. However, it is possible that artificially induced trehalose deficiency in the traditional diet of the indigenous peoples of the Far North (due to the tradition of rejecting fungi) could also cause an increase in the frequency of low­activity trehalase, provided that this tradition has been existing among Northern aboriginal peoples for many generations.…”

Virtual screening and directional preparation of xanthine oxidase inhibitory peptides derived from hemp seed protein by Xiaoni Huang, Jiajun Liao, Ping Shi, Xiaodong Pei, Chenghua Wang

“…The peptide DDNPRRFY displayed the highest XOI activity (IC50 = (2.10 ± 0.06) mg/mL), acting as a mixed inhibitor. The pancreatic elastase directionally prepared XOI hemp seed protein hydrolysates, from which 6 high-abundance XOI peptides encrypted 3 virtually-screened ones including the DDNPRRFY. …”
