摘要:
The invention generally relates to the use of archaea to modulate nutrient harvesting in a subject. In particular, the invention provides methods that use archaea to modulate the nutrient harvesting functions of the microbiota in the subject's gastrointestinal tract.
摘要:
Novel oxy- and thio-substituted fatty acid analog substrates of myristoylating enzymes are provided which contain an oxygen or sulfur in place of a methylene group in a carbon position from 4 to 13 in the fatty acid chain of a C.sub.13 -C.sub.14 fatty acid or alkyl ester thereof.
摘要:
A method of inhibiting parasitic activity is disclosed in which the biosynthesis, structure and/or function of the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor of said parasite may be affected by incorporating into said GPI anchor selected analogs of myristic acid containing various heteroatoms, substituents and unsaturated bonds, including ester-containing analogs, ketocarbonyl-containing analogs, sulfur-containing analogs, double bond- and triple bond-containing analogs, aromatic moiety-containing analogs, nitrated analogs and halogenated analogs.
摘要:
Novel diheteroatom-substituted fatty acid analog substrates of myristoylating enzymes are provided which contain oxyen and/or sulfur in place of two methylene groups in carbon positions from 3 to 13 in the fatty acid chain of a C.sub.13 -C.sub.14 fatty acid analog or alkyl ester thereof in which said oxygen or sulfur atoms are separated by at least one methylene group.
摘要:
A method of inhibiting viruses by treatment with oxy- and thio-substituted fatty acid analog substrates of myristoylating enzymes is disclosed. These fatty acid analogs contain an oxygen or sulfur in place of a methylene group in a carbon position from 4 to 13 in the fatty acid chain of a C.sub.13 -C.sub.14 fatty acid or alkyl ester thereof.
