NADH and its oxidized form, NAD+, play central roles in energy metabolism and are ideal indicators of cellular metabolic states. In this review, we will introduce recent progress made in the developing of a series of genetically encoded NADH sensors, which offer the potential to fill the gap in currently used techniques of endogenous NAD(P)H fluorescence imaging. These sensors are bright, specific and organelles targetable, allowing real-time tracking and quantification of intracellular NADH levels in different subcellular compartments. The individual strengths and weaknesses of these sensors when applied to the study of metabolic states profiling will be also discussed.
•Highly glycosylated matrisome proteins and their binding partners comprise extracellular networks that mediate tissue-specific cellular microenvironments.
•Elucidation of roles of matrisome molecules in disease mechanisms requires detailed mapping of matrisome glycosylation and other post-translational modifications.
•We review tissue workup methods for matrisome proteomics, glycomics and glycoproteomics.
•The combination of proteomics, glycomics and glycoproteomics profiles matrisome protein modifications distinct from those studied by immunohistochemistry.

Highlights► We review modern advances to characterize biological nano-complexes using X-ray scattering. ► X-ray scattering is used to study both the structures and macro-molecular interactions. ► Contemporary techniques include integration of complementary techniques together with X-ray scattering. ► Novel computational and technological advances, including coherent scattering technique, will be discussed. 相似文献
Highlights? The structure of ketamine-bound GLIC reveals an anesthetic binding site ? The study provides compelling evidence for allosteric inhibition by anesthetics ? Ketamine inhibition on GLIC is similar to competitive antagonist action on nAChRs ? Ketamine directly acts on pLGICs in addition to NMDA receptors 相似文献
