Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and multivariate data analyses methods are applied to the metabolic profiling of different red wines from Portugal. The water, methanol-water (1:1), and methanol fractions from solid phase extraction (SPE) with C18 resin were subjected to in vitro TNF? activity assay. Principal component analysis allowed the clear separation among the different SPE fractions according to the activity. Various supervised data reduction algorithms were tested and compared to highlight the TNF? inhibition by SPE fractions of wines. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis and orthogonal bidirectional PLS-DA were found most effective in discriminating the samples with different activities. By calculating variable importance in the projection, the active ingredients in the high activity samples have been identified as caftaric acid, quercetin, and catechin. Among the different vintages, samples from 2010 vintage were found with maximum anti-TNF? activity. The effectiveness of NMR spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics to identify the possible bioactivity in the several crude extracts is highlighted.

High-yield Escherichia coli-based cell-free expression of human proteins
High-yield Escherichia coli-based cell-free expression of human proteins
Abstract Production of sufficient amounts of human proteins is a frequent bottleneck in structural biology. Here we describe an Escherichia coli-based cell-free system which yields mg-quantities of human proteins in N-terminal fusion constructs with the GB1 domain, which show significantly increased translation efficiency. A newly generated E. coli BL21 (DE3) RIPL-Star strain was used, which contains a variant RNase E with reduced activity and an excess of rare-codon tRNAs, and is devoid of lon and ompT protease...

Metabolic characterization of Palatinate German white wines according to sensory attributes, varieties, and vintages using NMR spectroscopy and multivariate data analyses
Metabolic characterization of Palatinate German white wines according to sensory attributes, varieties, and vintages using NMR spectroscopy and multivariate data analyses
Abstract 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) has been used for metabolomic analysis of â??Rieslingâ?? and â??Mueller-Thurgauâ?? white wines from the German Palatinate region. Diverse two-dimensional NMR techniques have been applied for the identification of metabolites, including phenolics. It is shown that sensory analysis correlates with NMR-based metabolic profiles of wine. 1H NMR data in combination...
