CHEMISTRY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND SIGNALING: THE NFE2L2/AP-1 PATHWAY
Journal Title: Periódico Tchê Química - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 0
Abstract
In humans, the NFE2L2/AP-1 pathway controls more than 5% of the protein-coding genes. This pathway is responsible for cellular reactions towards ROS, xenobiotics, highly reactive substances of various nature, drug resistance and a plethora of other intracellular, intercellular and microenvironment functions. The great diversity of the pathway functions is astonishing and raises questions of how the pathway operates to provide the cell with specific enough reactions. The present review focuses on current knowledge in the field. Today, the pathway functioning is already used in developing novel pharmaceutics and diagnostics approaches, in therapy follow-up. Filling the existing blanc spots of the NFE2L2/AP-1 interactome would significantly advance the related fields and open new horizons in medical technologies.
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF DYNAMIC PROCESSES IN ESSENTIALLY NONLINEAR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WITH LUMPED PARAMETERS
The paper presents a system of differential equations that describe the processes of motion transfer in mechanisms taking into account the essential nonlinearities caused by hysteresis phenomena, dead zones, pressure lim...
CONFORMATIONAL STABILITY ORDER OF ACYCLIC ORGANIC MOLECULES REVISITED: A COMPUTER-BASED PROJECT IN LEARNING STEREOCHEMISTRY
Learning stereochemistry today, especially on the topic of conformational stability, seems to generalize anti, gauche, eclipsed conformations as a general stability order for all acyclic organic molecules. This may be du...
ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS ON THE BASIS OF THE SOLUTION OF A STEFAN-TYPE PROBLEM
An analytic solution of a Stefan-type problem with one non-stationary moving boundary of phase transformations simulating linear heat transfer in an inhomogeneous medium is considered. In simulating the heat and mass tra...
CHARACTERISATION OF VOLATILE AND SEMI-VOLATILE COMPOUNDS OF OILS FROM Solanum lycocarpum FRUITS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY
Oils were obtained from unripe and ripe fruits of Solanum lycocarpum. In this study, the volatile and semi-volatile compounds of oils were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Oil of unripe frui...
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHANGES WITH SUCCESSIVE APPLICATIONS OF RAW DOMESTIC SEWAGE AS A FINAL DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVE OF FORAGE CULTIVATION
Considering the significant expenses with fertilizer and irrigation, the use of wastewater in fertirrigation has been studied as an alternative, since it can supply part of the water demand and provide nutrients to the p...
