There are four types of coronaviruses (CoVs), of which include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta coronavirus. Among them, Beta CoVs are positive-stranded, enveloped ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses that ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between adipocyte hormones acylation stimulating protein (ASP), adiponectin, complement C3 (C3) (ASP precursor) and insulin, C-reactive ...

Owing to the huge array of applications, catalysis has long been dubbed as one of the most significant areas of process and synthetic chemistry. In fact, the vast majority of all chemical industrial ...

Wnt proteins contain palmitoleic acid, an unusual lipid modification. Production of an active Wnt signal requires the acyltransferase Porcupine (Porcn) and depends on the attachment of palmitoleic ...

The ability to acylate amines enantioselectively by using a small-molecule catalyst instead of an enzyme just got a bit easier. A Rutgers University group has made this challenging task more ...

Research groups led by Qing-Yuan Meng from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Xiu-Long Yang from Hebei University recently reported a novel acylation reaction for ...

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Liège has discovered an interesting new therapeutic target for the treatment of melanoma resistant to targeted therapies.

Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs) are positive-stranded RNA viruses having zoonotic potential. This enveloped virus infects a wide range of hosts that includes humans. Typically, these viruses infect the ...
