1. Tryptophan photoproducts : regulation of CYP1A1 transcription and modulation of cell growth
Abstract : The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of many drug-metabolizing enzymes. The regulation of cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) has been most intensively studied. READ MORE

2. Tryptophan-related Neurotransmission in the Brain: Disturbances Associated with Experimental Hepatic Encephalopathy
Abstract : In the present study, L-tryptophan (TRP)-related disturbances in the brain in experimental hepatic encephalopathy (HE) were investigated. The endogenous NMDA-receptor agonist and L-TRP metabolite quinolinic acid (QUIN) has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of HE. READ MORE

3. Mechanistic Studies on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from Tyrosine and Tryptophan Derivatives
Abstract : Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from tyrosine (Y) and tryptophan (W) is vital to many redox reactions in Nature where PCET between several Ys, or Ws, or between a mix of Ys and Ws can be used to transfer electrons, or protons, or both over large distances of several Å. Studying the PCET reaction mechanisms of Y and W is important for fundamental knowledge, and can help researchers that wish to mimic redox reactions in Nature. READ MORE

5. Non-invasive monitoring of low molecular weight biomarkers relevant to skin inflammation and cancer
Abstract : Development of skin inflammation and cancer in viable epidermis and dermis involve slow molecular weight (LMW) metabolites. We hypothesize that these LMW compounds can be collected on the surface of the skin and used for non-invasive diagnostics of skin disorders. READ MORE
