Ras signalling and apoptosis.

Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev. 8 , 49-54, (1998)

Activated Ras proteins have either positive or negative effects on the regulation of apoptosis depending on cell type and other factors. In part, this is due to the ability of Ras to control directly ...

Synthesis of farnesol isomers via a modified Wittig procedure.

Org. Lett. 7 , 4803-4806, (2005)

[structure: see text] The four olefin stereoisomers of farnesol have been synthesized from readily available nerylacetone or commercial geranylacetone. A new variation on the use of beta-oxido ylides ...

Quorum sensing in Candida albicans: probing farnesol's mode of action with 40 natural and synthetic farnesol analogs.

Chem. Biol. 10 , 743-50, (2003)

The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans produces extracellular farnesol (3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol) which acts as a quorum-sensing molecule (QSM) to suppress filamentation. Of four possi...
