Thiamine is metabolized into an essential cofactor for several enzymes. Here we show that oxythiamine, a thiamine analog, inhibits proliferation of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in vitro ...

Thiamine (vitamin B1), when combined with phosphoric acid, constitutes thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). TPP, the physiologically active form of thiamine, has a wide range of activity in intermediary ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate thiamin and its phosphoester content in plasma and erythrocytes for a complete picture of thiamin status in obese individuals. DESIGN: Comparative study of the thiamin status ...

Riboswitches are untranslated regions of messenger RNA, which adopt alternate structures depending on the binding of specific metabolites. Such conformational switching regulates the expression of ...

Thiamine, vitamin B 1, was isolated in 1926 and synthesized in 1936. Its importance for preventing illness was known as early as the turn of the century. Thiamine requirements are related to energy ...

In bacteria, many genes involved in the biosynthesis of cofactors such as thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) are regulated by riboswitches, regions in the 5' end of mRNAs to which the cofactor binds, ...

Thiamine, which is also called thiamin or vitamin B1, is one of the vitamins that are found in many vitamin B complex products. Like other B vitamins, thiamine helps the body break down food and turn ...

A NUMBER of biochemical tests have been designed and employed to aid in the overall assessment of the nutritional state of patients thought to be suffering from a vitamin deprivation. Many of these ...

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is an essential micronutrient. It helps the body function by taking energy from food and turning it into fuel for the brain, nerves, and heart. Thiamine is also ...
