    Abstract BAHD acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) acyltransferases play key roles in a large number of biosynthetic reactions involved in plant specialized metabolism. One approach to measure reaction rates for these enzymes is to quantify the amide or ester reaction products following chromatographic separation of reaction components, an approach that can be labor intensive and time consuming, and complicated by a lack of pure standards. We previously developed and validated an alternative approach using 5,5'-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB, Ellman's reagent) to spectrophotometrically monitor reaction progress by the release of free CoA in the reaction. This approach allows near-real time measurement of reaction rates, permitting reaction conditions (buffer, reactant, and enzyme concentrations, etc.) to be changed "on the fly." The ease and rapidity of data collection allows a high density of data points to be collected for determination of kinetic parameters. Here we provide a detailed procedure for using DTNB to measure BAHD acyl-CoA acyltransferase reaction rates, and as an example, use it to determine kinetic parameters for red clover hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:shikimate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, a BAHD acyl-CoA hydroxycinnamoyltransferase not previously characterized with respect to kinetic parameters. This approach may be more generally applicable to transferases using CoA donors.

    Abstract Analyses of the enzymatic activities of hydroxycinnamoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydroxycinnamoyltransferases of the BAHD family require hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesters as assay reagents. Here we describe a simple, cost-effective method for preparing p-coumaroyl-, caffeoyl- and feruloyl-CoA thioesters using the Arabidopsis thaliana 4-coumarate:CoA ligase 1 (4CL1) expressed in Escherichia coli. Preparation of the 4CL enzyme, in vitro synthesis of the thioesters, and thioester purification utilizing a C-18 solid phase extraction column are detailed. The hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesters produced are suitable for downstream qualitative and quantitative analyses.

    Abstract Objectives: Pain catastrophizing has been shown to be a prognostic indicator for pain severity and the co-occurrence of mental health conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder after whiplash injury. However, the pattern of available findings is limited in its implications for the possible "antecedent" or "causal" role of pain catastrophizing. The purpose of the present study was to examine the temporal relations between pain catastrophizing, pain severity, depressive symptoms, and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in individuals receiving treatment for whiplash injury.
    Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 388 individuals enrolled in a multidisciplinary program for whiplash injury. Participants completed self-report measures of pain catastrophizing, pain severity, depressive symptoms, and PTSS at the time of admission, mid-treatment (4 week), and treatment completion (7 week). A cross-lagged panel analysis was used to examine the temporal relations between pain catastrophizing, pain severity, depressive symptoms, and PTSS across all 3 timepoints.
    Results: Model fit was acceptable after the inclusion of modification indices. Pain catastrophizing at the time of admission predicted all other variables at 4 weeks. Pain catastrophizing at 4 weeks also predicted all other variables at 7 weeks. In addition, some bidirectional relations were present, particularly for variables assessed at week 4 and week 7.
    Discussion: Findings support the view that pain catastrophizing might play a transdiagnostic role in the onset and maintenance of health and mental health conditions. The findings call for greater emphasis on the development of treatment techniques that target pain catastrophizing in intervention programs for whiplash injury.

    Abstract Elucidating the structure of an enzyme and how substrates bind to the active site is an important step for understanding its reaction mechanism and function. Nevertheless, the methods available to obtain three-dimensional structures of proteins, such as x-ray crystallography and NMR, can be expensive and time-consuming. Considering this, an alternative is using structural bioinformatic tools to predict the tertiary structure of a protein from its primary sequence, followed by molecular docking of one or more substrates into the enzyme structure model. In the past few years, significant advances have been made in these computational tools, which can give useful information about the active site and enzyme-substrate interactions before the structure can be resolved using physical methods. Here, using common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) hydroxycinnamoyl-coenzyme A:tetrahydroxyhexanedioic acid hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HHHT) as an example, we describe methods and workflows for protein structure prediction and molecular docking that can be performed on a personal computer using only open-source tools.

    Abstract Introduction: Food allergy is a major public health challenge in Australia. Despite widespread uptake of infant feeding and allergy prevention guidelines the incidence of peanut allergy in infants has not fallen, and prevalence of peanut allergy in school-aged children continues to rise. Therefore, effective and accessible treatments for peanut allergy are required. There is high-quality evidence for efficacy of oral immunotherapy in children aged 4-17 years old; however, few randomised trials have investigated peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) in young children. Furthermore, the use of food products for OIT with doses prepared and administered by parents without requiring pharmacy compounding has the potential to reduce costs associated with the OIT product.
    Methods and analysis: Early Peanut Immunotherapy in Children is an open-label randomised controlled trial of peanut OIT compared with standard care (avoidance) to induce desensitisation in children aged 1-4 years old with peanut allergy. n=50 participants will be randomised 1:1 to intervention (daily peanut OIT for 12 months) or control (peanut avoidance). The primary outcome is the proportion of children in each group with a peanut eliciting dose >600 mg peanut protein as assessed by open peanut challenge after 12 months, analysed by intention to treat. Secondary outcomes include safety as assessed by frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events, quality of life measured using age-appropriate food allergy-specific questionnaires and immunological changes during OIT.
    Ethics: The trial is approved by the Child and Adolescent Health Service Human Research Ethics Committee and prospectively registered with the Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry.
    Dissemination: Trial outcomes will be published in a peer-review journal and presented and local and national scientific meetings.
    Trial registration number: ACTRN12621001001886.
