Abstract:
Provided is aptamers screening method based on graphene without target immobilization and the aptamers obtained from the method, and more particularly, a new GO-SELEX method without target immobilization in which a single-stranded nucleic acid pool may react with a non-bound target material or a counter-target material, after which a single-stranded nucleic acid which has not been bound to the target or counter-target may be separated by using the graphene. Also, the specific aptamer obtained through the above-described method may be used for diagnosing target related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of treating a mammal having a neuropathophysiological condition, comprising the step of administering to the mammal in need of such treatment a compound selected from nicotinamide or salts or prodrugs thereof, nicotinamide mononucleotide or salts or prodrugs thereof, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or salts or prodrugs thereof, nicotinamide riboside nicotinamide or salts or prodrugs thereof, phosphoribosyltransferase, or combinations thereof.

Abstract:
Provided is a composition for improving, preventing, or treating inflammatory bowel disease including a NAMPT-derived peptide as an active ingredient. The NAMPT-derived peptide of the present disclosure may bind to TRL4 and/or CYBB competitively with extracellular NAMPT (eNAMPT) to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation by the interaction of eNAMPT with TRL4 and/or CYBB, and the NAMPT-derived peptide of the present disclosure further includes a peptide targeting colon tissue to act directly on the colon, so that it is expected to be useful for the prevention or treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Abstract:
Enzyme-based systems and methods for synthesizing the NAD precursors NMN and NaMN are disclosed. Such methods and systems utilize a mutated form of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) that is superactive and/or other enzyme or enzyme combinations that are immobilized onto a solid surface. The methods and systems substantially increase the efficiency and yield of NAD precursor synthesis.
Abstract:
A method of making nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof is disclosed. The method involves contacting at least the following materials to form a solution: i) α-D-ribose-1-phosphate, α-D-ribose-1-phosphate derivatives, or mixtures thereof; ii) nicotinamide, nicotinamide derivatives, or mixtures thereof; iii) one or more pentosyl transferases (E.C. 2.4.2); iv) and one or more solvents. The resulting solution comprises nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof and one or more inorganic orthophosphate anions. The inorganic orthophosphate anions are removed from the solution, leaving a solution of nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to methods (e.g., in vitro methods) for use of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) as a biomarker in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). Provided herein is an in vitro method for the diagnosis, prognosis, and/or monitoring of RILI in a human subject by providing a tissue or plasma sample from the subject and detecting the level of NAMPT therein, wherein a higher level of NAMPT in the tissue or plasma sample from the subject compared to a healthy control or a reference value is indicative for the presence of RILI in the subject. Further provided herein is a method of detecting NAMPT in a human subject by obtaining a biological sample from the subject, detecting the presence of NAMPT in the sample by contacting the sample with a capture agent that specifically binds NAMPT, and detecting binding between NAMPT and the capture agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to microbial production of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), nicotinamide riboside (NR), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) using a genetically modified bacterium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modified (mutant) nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, and a method for producing nicotinamide mononucleotide using the same. The modified nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) of the present invention comprises the amino acid sequence represented by the following SEQ ID NO: 1 and/or the amino acid sequence represented by the following SEQ ID NO: 2, and has improved activity as compared with wild-type Nampt: (a) SEQ ID NO: 1: S- [V/I] -P-A-X1-X2-H-S-[T/V/I] - [M/V/I] -X3, and (b) SEQ ID NO: 2: X4-[S/I] -D-X5 wherein X1 to X5 are as defined herein.
