UGA biochemists create new tool to study biological process in parasites

Click on image below to view photo gallery with captions. Researchers in the University of Georgia’s West Laboratory are interested in how unicellular parasites thrive in their environments. Focusing on post-translational modifications of proteins, particularly a crucial process called glycosylation, researchers are gaining insights into how this basic life process in parasites can lead to better …

Spirocyclic iridoid alkaloids from Plumeria rubra

Plumerianoids A-D (1-4) with a new intact spirocyclic iridoid alkaloid skeleton, along with a new degraded alkaloid 8-epi-plumerianine (5), and a known one (6), were isolated and characterized from Plumeria rubra. The structure of 6 was revised as (8R,13S)-plumerianine. These alkaloids consist of three epimeric pairs (1/2, 3/4, and 5/6), exhibiting virtually identical NMR spectra within …
