This conclusion was supported by comparative genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic profiles of meningococcal isolates from disease patients and their household contacts, which led to identification of potentially important metabolic differences between carriage and disease isolates including the sulfate assimilation pathway, in addition to the observation that several carriage isolates had lost their type IV pili and that this loss correlated with reduced induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-) expression when cultured with epithelial cells (Ren et al., 2017)
Single-point energies were calculated on the optimized geometries using the B97X-D hybrid functional 87 and the 6-311 + G(2d,p) basis set with ultrafine integration grids for the QM part and the ff14SB, gaff2 and TIP3P force fields for the MM part (protein, substrate and water, respectively) with electrostatic embedding
The eluent was prepared as follows: Eluent A was prepared by adding 15 mL of 500 mM 1-octanesulfonic acid sodium salt solution and 0.2 mL of trifluoroacetic acid to an appropriate volume of distilled water for HPLC (Nacalai Tesque), made up to a total of 1000 mL
