We followed up the observed growth rate and the content of organic compounds (expressed as chemical oxygen demand (COD), similar to electron equivalents (eeq), with 1 eeq = 8 gCOD) and nitrogen in the form of ammonium (NH4+). For simplicity, COD and ammonium will be referred to ...
To improve efficiency in high throughput protein structure determination, we have developed a database software package, Gene Composer, which facilitates the information-rich design of protein constructs and their codon engineered synthetic gene sequence
Recently, it has been reported that SEP3 interacts with other MADS-box proteins, including other SEP, to form multimeric protein complexes, suggesting a role as mediator of higher-order complex formation [41]. Transgenic plants were grown to maturity and their phenotypes were scored. Both lines ...
To confirm that the deletions observed in the present cases were not non-pathogenic genomic copy number variations (CNV), a cohort of 100 healthy normal subjects (50 men and 50 women) was tested. All volunteers were informed about the study and signed a consent form approved by the local ...
(OID survey: 71.4%; DEGS1: 33.9%). Over-indebted individuals had a significantly poorer subjective health status than the general population. Accordingly, the over-indebted population had a significantly higher prevalence of psychological disorders in the form of depression and/or anxiety (16.2%) ...
[121–123]. ecs lacking either of these two enzymes showed an impaired ability to form tube structures on matrigel [123]. the generation of an endothelial-specific dicer knock-out mouse model provided direct evidence that mirnas are fundamental for the correct vessel development in adulthood in ...
The Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, is one of the major aquaculture species in the world and a potential sentinel organism for monitoring the status of marine ecosystems. However, genomic resources for R. philippinarum are still extremely limited.
which is transactivated by the complete s protein of hepatitis b virus. string database analysis shows its interaction with otherp. falciparumphosphatases. pp2cc group protein phosphatase 2c is a mn2+and mg2+dependent protein serine/theronine phosphatases. the active form of the protein appears as...
of the role of Paraguay in the changing nature of the illicit tobacco trade. Joossens and Raw [9] argue that, while the main form of illicit trade during the 1980s and 1990s was large-scale smuggling of TTC brands, other modes have since emerged in the form of “illegal manufacturing, ...
Our model has a simple mathematical form, amenable to analytical investigations and a small set of parameters with an intuitive physical meaning, that makes it a unique and reliable mathematical tool. The findings here presented will be a useful instrument for better understanding RNAi biology and ...
