AbstractThe involvement of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a number of cellular signal transduction pathways has triggered great interest in the development of selective and sensitive detection methods for H2S. This mini-review summarizes three current strategies .....
AbstractGene regulation is central to the biological processes of differentiation, morphogenesis, and the creation of diversity of cell types. The identification of gene regulatory elements is thus essential for the understanding of the molecular mechanism u.....
AbstractPhotoreceptor cells are highly specialized cells that convert light energy into electric signals. Ten percent of their outer segment membranes (approximately 77 cm2 of membrane) are renewed every day. Therefore, photoreceptor cells must possess an ex.....
AbstractClimate change, limited fossil resources and steady population growth drive industrial development of sustainable biomass based processes for production of fuels, platform and specialty chemicals. In this context phototrophic microalgae cultivation p.....
AbstractClimate change and dwindling fossil resources drive industrial developments of biomass based processes for chemical and fuel applications. Butanol is poised to be a next generation renewable building block due to its improved energy content and hydro.....
AbstractIn terms of production capacities and economical relevance biodiesel is the most important transportation biofuel. In contrast to other biofuel options, biodiesel processes have recently experienced little technology development. The industrial stand.....
AbstractPeptidyl-tRNA hydrolases (Pths) are essential enzymes found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Pths cleave the peptide:tRNA ester bond of peptidyl-tRNAs generated from premature termination of protein synthesis and the expression of short ORFs or .....
AbstractTyrosine O sulfation is a post translational modification (PTM) originally discovered
by Bettelheim in 1954 in the bovine protein fibrinogen. Currently, this PTM is found
only in secreted and transmembrane proteins of higher eukaryotes. This arti.....
AbstractNatural compounds have been discovered to be effective in many disease treatments. Among these compounds are epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), two abundantpolyphenolic catechins in green tea. They have been found to b.....
AbstractA man arrives at a university hospital. He suffers from
essential tremor (ET), a neurological disorder characterized by
involuntary and rhythmic shaking during voluntary movements
such as lifting a cup to drink
