These results indicated that the opioidergic system is involved in developing ghrelin-induced hypophagic effects in laying chickens. Accordingly, this effect of ghrelin to modify the nutritional behavior is possibly mediated by opioid μ receptor.The analogy between gold and hydrogen is a subject of long-standing debate. In the present work, we examine the validity of the gold-hydrogen analogy in a series of small-sized H-doped gold clusters, Aun-1 H with n varying between 2 and 10 and also investigate its dependence on the cluster size. Keeping in mind the importance of the role of structures, we make use of the genetic algorithm coupled with a density functional theory based method to exhaustively search and identify the energetically low-lying structures of each of the H-doped gold clusters. These lower energy structures of H-doped and pristine gold clusters are then employed to carry out the calculations of their electronic properties, stability analysis as well as their reactivity towards the adsorption and activation of CO and O2 molecules. Our study shows that in line with the gold-hydrogen analogy, both electronic properties and the adsorption/activation characteristics of H-doped gold clusters remain very similar to those of pristine gold clusters.NADP+-dependent malic enzyme 1 (ME1) decarboxylates malate to form pyruvate and NADPH in the cytoplasm, where it mediates diverse biological functions related to the generation of lipids and other cellular building blocks. As such, ME1 has been implicated in the progression of cancers and has received attention as a promising drug target. Here we report the identification of a novel small-molecule inhibitor of ME1, designated AS1134900. AS1134900 is highly selective for ME1 compared with ME2 and uncompetitively inhibits ME1 activity in the presence of its substrates NADP+ and malat
