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 ...

S-acylation is the process of chemically linking a lipid to protein via a thioester bond. It is an important process of the cell that regulates the localization and function of numerous proteins. It ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
