Quinolone resistance and ornithine decarboxylation activity in lactose-negative Escherichia coli. Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 46(3), 753-757. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1517-838246320131291

Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are widely used to treat uropathogenic Escherichia coli infections. Bacterial resistance to these antimicrobials primarily involves mutations in gyrA and parC genes. To date, no studies have examined the potential rela... Read More about Quinolone resistance and ornithine decarboxylation activity in lactose-negative Escherichia coli.

SULF2 overexpression positively regulates tumorigenicity of human prostate cancer cells (2015)
Journal Article
Vicente, C., Andrade De Lima, M., Nader, H., & Toma, L. (2015). SULF2 overexpression positively regulates tumorigenicity of human prostate cancer cells. Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 34, 25--25. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-015-0141-x

Background
SULF2 is a 6-O-endosulfatase which removes 6-O sulfate residues from N-glucosamine present on heparan sulfate (HS). The sulfation pattern of HS influences signaling events mediated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) located on cell...

Ultra-low-molecular-weight heparins: Precise structural features impacting specific anticoagulant activities (2013)
Journal Article
Lima, M., Viskov, C., Herman, F., Gray, A., de Farias, E., Cavalheiro, R., Sassaki, G., Hoppensteadt, D., Fareed, F., & Nader, H. (2013). Ultra-low-molecular-weight heparins: Precise structural features impacting specific anticoagulant activities. Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 109(03), 471-478. https://doi.org/10.1160/TH12-11-0795

Ultra-low-molecular-weight heparins (ULMWHs) with better efficacy and safety ratios are under development; however, there are few structural data available. The main structural features and molecular weight of ULMWHs were studied and compared to enox...

Molecular BioSystems, 10(1), 54-64. https://doi.org/10.1039/C3MB70370C

The structurally diverse polysaccharide lyase enzymes are distributed from plants to animals but share common catalytic mechanisms. One, heparinase I (F. heparinum), is employed in the production of the major anticoagulant drug, low molecular weight...
