  • Publication number: 20170029829
    Abstract: A recombinantly expressed nucleotide triphosphate transporter efficiently imports the triphosphates of unnatural nucleotides into cells, and the endogenous cellular machinery incorporates those nucleotides into cellular nucleic acids. UBPs can therefore form within the cell's nucleic acids. Moreover, neither the presence of the unnatural triphosphates nor the replication of the UBP represents a significant growth burden. The UBP is not efficiently excised by nucleic acid repair pathways, and therefore can be retained as long as the unnatural triphosphates are available in the growth medium. Thus, the resulting cell is the first organism to stably propagate an expanded genetic alphabet.

  • Publication number: 20170027893
    Abstract: Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase-beta (LPAAT-?) catalyzes the production of phosphatidic acid (PA) from lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). The lipid cofactor PA contributes to the activation of c-Raf, BRAF, mTOR and PKC-?. LPAAT-? expression is a prognostic factor in gynecologic malignancies and is being investigated as a therapeutic target in a variety of tumor types. A class of thiosemicarbazones was identified as inhibitors of LPAAT-? from a screen of a library of small molecules. A focused library of thiosemicarbazones derivatives was prepared and led to the development of compounds which potently inhibit LPAAT-? and inhibit the growth of MiaPaCa2 human pancreatic cancer cells.

  • Publication number: 20170029962
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for the synthesis of monodispersed luminescent quantum dots of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), single- or few-layered, using a single-step electrochemical exfoliation that involves dilute ionic liquid and water. The method disclosed helps to obtain nanoclusters of TMDC of desired size including small sizes ranging up to 6 nm, by varying the concentration of the electrolyte and the applied DC voltage. The invention further discloses a method by which mono- or few-layered luminescent transition metal dichalcogenides can be directly deposited onto conducting substrates in a uniform manner. The monodispersed single- or few-layered luminescent TMDC and electro-deposited substrates exhibit improved electronic conductivity and new active sites, making them suitable as high-performance electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution reactions in solar water-splitting applications and also as electrodes for solar cell applications.
