Development and validation of a model that includes two ultrasound parameters and the plasma D-dimer level for predicting malignancy in adnexal masses: an observational study
PublicationBackground: Pre-operative discrimination of malignant from benign adnexal masses is crucial for planning additional imaging, preparation, surgery and postoperative care. This study aimed to define key ultrasound and clinical variables and develop a predictive model for calculating preoperative ovarian tumor malignancy risk in a gynecologic oncology referral center. We compared our model to a subjective ultrasound assessment (SUA)...

Structural studies of a cold-adapted dimeric Beta-D-galactosidase from Paracoccus sp. 32d
PublicationThe crystal structure of a novel dimeric [beta]-D-galactosidase from Paracoccus sp. 32d (Par[beta]DG) was solved in space group P212121 at a resolution of 2.4 Å by molecular replacement with multiple models using the BALBES software. This enzyme belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 2 (GH2), similar to the tetrameric and hexameric [beta]-D-galactosidases from Escherichia coli and Arthrobacter sp. C2-2, respectively. It is the second...

5-Thiocyanato-2′-deoxyuridine as a possible radiosensitizer: electron-induced formation of uracil-C5-thiyl radical and its dimerization
PublicationIn this work, we have synthesized 5-thiocyanato-2′-deoxyuridine (SCNdU) along with the C6-deuterated nucleobase 5-thiocyanatouracil (6-D-SCNU) and studied their reactions with radiation-produced electrons. ESR spectra in γ-irradiated nitrogen-saturated frozen homogeneous solutions (7.5 M LiCl in H2O or D2O) of these compounds show that electron-induced S–CN bond cleavage occurs to form a thiyl radical (dU-5-S˙ or 6-D-U-5-S˙) and...

Heterogeneity of quaternary structure of glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from Giardia lamblia
PublicationThe oligoHis-tagged versions of glucosamine-6- phosphate deaminase from Giardia lamblia (GlmNagB-HisN, GlmNagB-HisC) were constructed and purified to hear homogeneity, and their kinetic and structural properties were compared to those of the wild-type enzyme (GlmNagB). Introduction of the oligoHis tag at the GlmNagB C-terminus resulted in almost complete loss of the catalytic activity, while the catalytic properties of GlmNagB-HisN...

The crystal and solution studies of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase from Candida albicans
PublicationOkreślono strukturę krystaliczną domeny izomerazowej syntazy glukozamino-6-fosforanu z Candida albicans w stanie natywnym, oraz w kompleksie z inhibitorem allosterycznym UDP-GlcNAc, fruktozo-6-P, glukozo-6-P oraz analogiem stanu przejściowego reakcji enzymatycznej - 2-amino-2-deoksy-D-mannitolo-6-P (ADMP). Na podstawie wyników badań metodą niskokątowego rozpraszania promieni X (SAXS) wydedukowano przypuszczalną strukturę kompletnej...

Manifestation of Intermolecular Interactions in the IR Spectra of 2- and 4-Methylmethcathinones Hydrochlorides: DFT Study and Hirshfeld Surfaces Analysis
PublicationThis paper reports a Hirshfeld surfaces analysis of crystalline 2- and 4-methylmethcathinone (2-MMC and 4-MMC) hydrochlorides to analyze NH∙Cl and CH∙∙∙Cl intermolecular interactions and approve the formation of the NН2+–Cl– salt fragment in both 2-MMC∙HCl and 4-MMC∙HCl crystals. Two isomeric dimers were separated from the corresponding crystal packing to model IR spectra of the crystalline 2-MMC∙HCl...

99mTc-Galacto-RGD2: A Novel 99mTc-Labeled Cyclic RGD Peptide Dimer Useful for Tumor Imaging
PublicationThis study sought to evaluate [99mTc(HYNIC-Galacto-RGD2)-(tricine)(TPPTS)] (99mTc-Galacto-RGD2: HYNIC = 6-hydrazinonicotinyl; Galacto-RGD2 = Glu[cyclo[Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Lys(SAA-PEG2-(1,2,3-triazole)-1-yl-4-ethylamide)]]2 (SAA = 7-amino-L-glycero-L-galacto-2,6-anhydro-7-eoxyheptanamide, and PEG2 = 3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid); and TPPTS = trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3''-trisulfonate) as a new radiotracer for tumor imaging. Galacto-RGD2...

Dimeric structure of the N-terminal domain of PriB protein from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis solved ab initio
PublicationPriB is one of the components of the bacterial primosome, which catalyzes the reactivation of stalled replication forks at sites of DNA damage. The N-terminal domain of the PriB protein from the thermophilic bacterium Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis (TtePriB) was expressed and its crystal structure was solved at the atomic resolution of 1.09 Å by direct methods. The protein chain, which encompasses the first 104 residues of the...
