They have similar catalytic mechanisms that contrast markedly with those of the bacterial Hyals. There is growing interest in these enzymes, as their HA substrate is achieving much attention. An outstanding review of the hyaluronidases was published 50 years ago by Karl Meyer, who was also the first to describe the chemical structure of HA.8 Interestingly, a chapter on mucopolysaccharidases, the former name for the hyaluronidases, was included in Volume 1 of Methods in Enzymology.9 The most recent overview of all of the Hyals appeared in 1971.10 Since that time, no comprehensive review has appeared. Robert Stern left Germany in 1938 for Seattle, Washington. He graduated from Harvard College in 1957 and obtained his M.D. degree from the Karl Meyer classified the Hyals into three distinct classes University of Washington (Seattle) in 1962. While a medical student, he of enzymes,8 based entirely on the biochemical analyses worked in the laboratories of Drs. Krebs and Fisher, who became Nobel available at the time.

Both terms, eliminase (or â-eliminase) and lyase, are used in the review interchange- ably. The third group are the endo-â-glucuronidases. These are found in leeches, which are annelids,18 and in certain crustaceans.19 No sequence data are available, and little is known about this potentially interesting class of enzymes. However, their mechanism of action resembles that of the eukaryotic or vertebrate enzymes more closely than that of the bacterial enzymes. Sequence data for vertebrate Hyals now provide op- portunities to formulate structure-function relationships, to examine probable mechanisms of catalysis, to identify putative substrate binding sites, and to consider the additional nonenzymatic functions of this family of multifunctional enzymes for two of the three groups, for the hydrolase and lyase types of Hyals, respectively.2 Such a review is Mark J.

If not treated at an early stage, patients have various health problems, affecting their quality of life and life-span. Two therapeutic options for MPS are widely used in practice: enzyme replacement therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, early diagnosis of MPS is crucial, as treatment may be too late to reverse or ameliorate the disease progress. It has been noted that the prevalence of MPS and each subtype varies based on geographic regions and/or ethnic background. Each type of MPS is caused by a wide range of the mutational spectrum, mainly missense mutations. Some mutations were derived from the common founder effect. In the previous study, Khan et al. 2018 have reported the epidemiology of MPS from 22 countries and 16 regions. In this study, we aimed to update the prevalence of MPS across the world. We have collected and investigated 189 publications related to the prevalence of MPS via PubMed as of December 2020. In total, data from 33 countries and 23 regions were compiled and analyzed.

  • Separation of Oligosaccharides from Lotus Seeds Via Medium-Pressure Liquid Chromatography Coupled with ELSD and DAD
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Separation of Oligosaccharides from Lotus Seeds via Medium- pressure Liquid Chromatography Received: 20 September 2016 Accepted: 06 February 2017 Coupled with ELSD and DAD Published: 09 March 2017 Xu Lu1,2,3, Zhichang Zheng1, Song Miao2, Huang Li1, Zebin Guo1,3, Yi Zhang1,3, Yafeng Zheng1,3, Baodong Zheng1,3 & Jianbo Xiao1,4 Lotus seeds were identified by the Ministry of Public Health of China as both food and medicine. One general function of lotus seeds is to improve intestinal health. However, to date, studies evaluating the relationship between bioactive compounds in lotus seeds and the physiological activity of the intestine are limited. In the present study, by using medium pressure liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light-scattering detector and diode-array detector, five oligosaccharides were isolated and their structures were further characterized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In vitro testing determined that LOS3-1 and LOS4 elicited relatively good proliferative effects onLactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. These results indicated a structure-function relationship between the physiological activity of oligosaccharides in lotus seeds and the number of probiotics applied, thus providing room for improvement of this particular feature. Intestinal probiotics may potentially become a new effective drug target for the regulation of immunity. Lotus seeds are mature seeds of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn and are so far the oldest plant seeds currently known. In China, lotus seeds have been traditionally used as both pharmaceutical and food resource. Bioactive ingredi- ents such as water-soluble carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) render various bioactivities to lotus seeds that regulate intestinal and stomach functions, prevent oxidation, lower blood glucose, and boost immunity.

It is made available under aCC-BY-NC 4.0 International license. Modeling Reactions Catalyzed by Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes Önder Kartal, Oliver Ebenhöh November 12, 2014 Abstract Carbohydrate polymers are ubiquitous in biological systems and their roles are highly diverse, ranging from energy storage over mechanical sta- bilisation to mediating cell-cell or cell-protein interactions. The functional diversity is mirrored by a chemical diversity that results from the high flexi- bility of how different sugar monomers can be arranged into linear, branched or cyclic polymeric structures. Mathematical models describing biochemi- cal processes on polymers are faced with various difficulties. First, polymer- active enzymes are often specific to some local configuration within the poly- mer but are indifferent to other features. That is they are potentially active on a large variety of different chemical compounds, meaning that polymers of different size and structure simultaneously compete for enzymes. Second, especially large polymers interact with each other and form water-insoluble phases that restrict or exclude the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. This heterogeneity of the reaction system has to be taken into account by explicitly considering processes at the, often complex, surface of the poly- mer matrix. We review recent approaches to theoretically describe polymer biochemical systems. All attempts address a particular challenge, which we discuss in more detail.

As part of this review, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (DBRUP), now the Division of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology (DUOG), evaluated the nomination of quinacrine for intrauterine administration for non-surgical female sterilization and recommended that quinacrine should not be included on the 503A Bulks List for this use. This recommendation was based on the lack of information on efficacy comparable to other available methods of female sterilization and serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and possible carcinogenicity in use of quinacrine for this indication and route of administration.
