Human saliva is rich in proteins of variable functions (e.g., enzymes, immunoglobulins, cytokines) and origin (blood plasma, salivary glands, or oral microflora). Circadian dynamics, volume and composition (electrolytes, pH, protein, etc.) of secreted saliva vary with local and systemic physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Therefore,…[Read more]

Meanwhile, the novel noncanonical immunopeptides identified with this method could shed insights on fundamental immunology as well as cancer immunotherapies.The dissociation of an insulin dimer is an important biochemical event that could also serve as a prototype of dissociations in similar biomolecular assemblies. We use a recently developed…[Read more]

Glycyrrhiza inflata is a threatened perennial herb with medicinal value, which restricts in NW China and Mongolia. Its ally species, G. aspera, is widely distributed from northern China to Turkey. The complete chloroplast genomes were sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq X-Ten platform. Each of the genomes lacks an inverted repeat (IR) region,…[Read more]
