The acetylation of histone lysine residues plays a crucial role in the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. Acetylated lysine residues are recognized by a small protein domain known as a bromodomain. These domains function in the linking of protein complexes to acetylated nucleosomes, thereby controlling...

Afatinib is an irreversible inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB2 (IC50s = 0.5 and 14 nM, respectively). It increases the cytotoxicity of adriamycin in a concentration-dependent manner in multidrug-resistant A549T lung cancer cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein. Afatinib (20 mg/kg) reduces...

Neutrophil elastase is stored within cytoplasmic azurophilic granules in the neutrophil and released upon stimulation by pathogens where it acts either as free protein or is associated with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Together with other proteases released from activated neutrophils, neutrophil elastase...

Ac-WEHD-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate that can be cleaved by group I caspases (caspase-1, -4, and -5). Caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC (also known as 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), which is excited at 400 nm and emits at 505 nm.Formal Name:...
