    摘要: The invention is based on the discovery that the levels of one or more methylxanthines in urine samples are significantly decreased in children diagnosed with symptoms of autistic disorder, compared to the levels in normal children, and that levels of xanthines in urine are increased in autistic children. Consequently, the presence in the urine of levels of methylxanthines below a certain range and the level of xanthine above a certain range, are diagnostic of autistic disorder. In another aspect, one or more of these methylxanthines can be used to treat individuals exhibiting symptoms of autistic disorder.

    摘要: A method of identifying a candidate compound for treatment of a neurological condition includes obtaining a test compound; assaying a first activity of the test compound to inhibit histone deacetylase activity of a histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3); assaying a second activity of the test compound to inhibit histone deacetylase activity of a histone deacetylase other than a HDAC3; and identifying the test compound as a candidate compound for treatment of a neurological condition if the first activity of the test compound is greater than the second activity of the test compound.

    摘要: The subject invention concerns a novel enzyme named thioredoxin shufflease, means for preparing the same, and procedures for using thioredoxin shufflease to fold proteins containing disulfide crosslinks. Thioredoxin shufflease is a generic term to define enzymes which have the following characteristics: (a) contain a single reactive thiol group; (b) catalyze the exchange of disulfides in a protein undergoing the refolding process; and (c) are not consumed in the oxidation/refolding process. Specifically exemplified is a thioredoxin shufflease produced from an E. coli thioredoxin gene.
