  • The β-Carotene-Oxygen Copolymer: its Relationship to Apocarotenoids and β-Carotene Function

    • Authors : Mogg, Trevor J.; W. Burton, Graham (2020)

  • The influence of the peptide QAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQ on the kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2) was studied to model the interaction of the virus with its host cell. This peptide corresponds to the sequence 24-42 of the ACE2 α1 domain, which is the binding site for the S1 protein. The on-rate and off-rate of S1-ACE2 complex formation were measured in the presence of various peptide conce...

  • β-Carotene oxidation products - function and safety

    • Authors : Dixit, Vaibhav A. (2021)

  • β-Carotene oxidation products have newly discovered bioactivity in plants and animals. Synthetic fully oxidized β-carotene (OxBC) has application in supporting livestock health, with potential human applications. The safety of synthetic OxBC has been evaluated. An Ames test showed weak-to-moderate mutagenicity in only one cell line at high concentrations. A mouse micronucleus assay established a non-toxic dose of 1800 mg/kg body weight, and no bone marrow mic...
