Cloning, purification and characterization of two components of phenol hydroxylase from Rhodococcus erythropolis UPV-1
(Springer, 2009-09-29)
Phenol hydroxylase that catalyzes the conversion of phenol to catechol in Rhodococcus erythropolis UPV-1 was identified as a two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase. The two proteins are encoded by the genes pheA1 and ...
Analysis and Characterization of the Behaviour of a Variable Geometry Structure
(SAGE, 2007-11)
The study about a variable geometry truss is presented. The first step is a kinematic design and later an analysis using the MSC/Adams code. Then, the finite-element method with the MSC/Nastran code was used to develop a ...
Maternal hypothyroxinemia impairs spatial learning and synaptic nature and function in the Offspring
(The Endocrine Society, 2008-10-01)
Neurological deficits in the offspring caused by human maternal hypothyroxinemia are thought to be irreversible. To understand the mechanism responsible for these neurological alterations, we induced maternal hypothyroxinemia ...
Quantum size effects of Pb overlayers at high coverages.
(Elsevier, 2007-07-18)
We have studied Pb thin films as a function of the thickness up to 60 monolayers (MLs) using ab initio first principles and model calculations. Magic heights corresponding to a modulated oscillatory pattern of the energy ...
Neutrophils of Centenarians Show Function Levels Similar to Those of Young Adults
(Wiley, 2008)
OBJECTIVES: To analyze several functions and antioxidant parameters of peripheral blood neutrophils from healthy centenarians (men and women) and compare them with those of healthy young (aged 25–35) and middle-aged (aged ...
Lexical tone and stress in Goizueta Basque
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)
Research in the past few decades has shown that Northern Bizkaian Basque possesses a pitch-accent system of the Tokyo Japanese type, with a contrast between lexically accented and unaccented words. There is, however, a ...
Restored quantum size effects of Pb overlayers at high coverages
(APS, 2007-04-10)
Abnormally large stability of Pb nanostructures grown on metallic or semiconductor substrates has been observed even for heights of about 30 monolayers. Using both density-functional theory calculations and analytical ...
Prevalence and risk factors of behavioural changes associated with age-related cognitive impairment in geriatric dogs
(Wiley, on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, 2009)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and severity of behavioural changes associated with age and their relationship to risk factors such as sex, reproductive status, bodyweight and age.
Methods: ...
The conserved helix C region in the superfamily of interferon-gamma /interleukin-10-related cytokines corresponds to a high-affinity binding site for the HSP70 chaperone DnaK.
(Elsevier, 2002-07-12)
HSP70 chaperones mediate protein folding by ATP-dependent interaction with short linear peptide segments that are exposed on unfolded proteins. The mode of action of the Escherichia coli homolog DnaK is representative of ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates displaying the MLSB phenotype of macrolide resistance in Spain, 1999 to 2005
(2007-01-22)
The aim of this study was to describe the genetic characteristics of Streptococcus pyogenes showing the MLSB phenotype of macrolide resistance from 1999 to 2005 in Spain and to highlight the substantial increase in these ...
