The biological activity of catechol neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the synapse is modulated by transporters and enzymes. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) inactivates neurotransmitters by catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catechols in the presence of

Well-defined substrates for the study of oxidative processes are important for the elucidation of the role of DNA damage in the etiology of diseases such as cancer. We have synthesized 3'-modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) using 5'→3' 'reverse' DNA synthesis for the

Relaxed force constants (RFC) and vibrational root-mean-square (VRMS) deviations are used for comparative characterization of mechanical properties of canonical 2'-deoxyribonucleosides (2DRs) and 1,2-dideoxyribose molecule, their model sugar residue. It has been shown that RFC and VRMS should be preferred over

Our mechanistic understanding of damage formation in DNA by the direct effect relies heavily on what is known of free radical intermediates studied by EPR spectroscopy. Bridging this information to stable product formation requires methods with comparable sensitivities, a criterion

The deoxyribose degradation assay is widely used to evaluate the hydroxyl (OH) radical-scavenging ability of food or medicines. We compared the hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity of 25 antioxidant samples prepared in ethanol solution with samples prepared after removing the ethanol (residue).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
