In a recent study, Dr. Vojtěch Dočekal and Professor Jan Veselý from the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of ...

Assuming that mitochondria evolved from bacteria, they looked for two known bacterial PAMPs: DNA and formyl peptides. In one experiment, they measured the release of mitochondrial DNA into the ...

the cyano radical (a radical is a molecule with an unpaired electron in the outer shell of one of its constituent atoms), the ...

Our focus has been on two molecules, formyl fluoride and trifluoroacetylacetone, which give remarkably different results. The goal is to learn fundamental details about how ultraviolet laser-excited ...

Similarly, formylated peptides released from bacteria and mitochondria activate the formyl peptide receptor-1 (FPR1) and attract neutrophils by the process of chemotaxis to sites of inflammation ...
