No effective drug currently exists to treat brain injury and the mechanisms that control post-trauma events remain largely unknown. In October 4 Nature, David Panikashvili and colleagues from the ...

Glycerol levels up to 8 mmol per liter (74 mg per deciliter) have been detected in patients with glycerol kinase deficiency after prolonged fasting. 1 No discernable glycerol kinase activity (<0. ...

A number of endogenous antimicrobial peptides have been shown to play an integral part in innate immunity. 3 Two major classes of peptides in mammalian skin, β-defensins 4,5 and cathelicidins, 6 ...

Dubbed glycerol 3-phosphate phosphatase (G3PP), the newly-discovered enzyme was happened upon by scientists at University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM).

Limits on evolution imposed by constraints on sequence and structure were explored using a model TIM barrel protein, indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase (IGPS).
