High-fat ingestion triggers microglial metabolic activation within a single feeding cycle, and enhances whole-body metabolism and memory by converting fatty acids into protective substrates for surrounding neurons.
Robust NMR approach allowed simultaneous detection of substrate cleavage site and real-time kinetics of hydrolysis for Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan hydrolases lysostaphin and LytM, and revealed D-alanyl-glycine activity for LytM.
