Current influenza vaccines provide hemagglutinin strain-specific protection, but rarely provide cross-protection against divergent strains. It is, therefore, particularly important to develop a universal vaccine against conserved proteins or conserved regions of the virus. In this study, we used N-terminal extracellular

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequent causes of nosocomial and community-acquired infections, with drug-resistant strains being responsible for tens of thousands of deaths per year. S. aureus sortase A inhibitors are designed to interfere with virulence determinants. We

Evidence is presented that tripeptides enter human erythrocytes via saturable transport system(s) at rates similar to those previously described for dipeptides (King, G.F. and Kuchel, P.W. (1985) Biochem. J. 227, 833-842) but that the transmembrane flux rates for tetrapeptides are

S(IV) (SO(2),HSO(3)(-)andSO(3)(2-)) autoxidation catalyzed by Cu(II)/tetraglycine complexes in the presence of DNA or 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) resulted in DNA strand breaks and formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), respectively. Ni(II), Co(II) or Mn(II) (1.0x10(-4)M) complexes had much smaller effects. Cu(II)/tetraglycine (1.0x10(-4)M) in the
