The results showed that the overall diffusioncontrolled rate constant is equal to 4.82×109 M-1 s -1 at 298.15K. The zwitterionic form is the main existing form that plays an essential role in the HO - initiated oxidation of Ile (99.98%). The most preponderant reactions are found at C6-H (36.19%) and C8-H (37.77%) positions. Finally, the influence of temperature on the overall rate is also evaluated.

The present study focuses on the preparation of silver/copper bimetallic hybrid nanoparticles by green method from precursor solutions of silver nitrate & copper nitrate and the locally available citrus fruit (lemon) peel extract which behaves as the stabilizing and reducing agent. Initially, the formation of hybrid nanoparticles was noticed in the reaction mixture by colour change.

Grafting acrylic acid (AA) onto linear, low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is carried out in melt state in the presence of styren (St). The effects of reaction time and temperature; concentrations of initiator and St; mixing speed of LLDPE and chemicals on the grafting degree of AA onto LLDPE is estimated. St is added to try to decrease the extent of crosslinking reaction and to increase the grafting degree of AA on to LLDPE. The obtained results show that the suitable conditions for the mentioned process above are 2 wt% of AA; 0.3 wt% of DCP; molar ratio of St/AA of 2.

The technological conditions of obtaining the polylactic acid-Vietnamese cassava starch blend on the mix-brabender were investigated. The optimal conditions were: temperature 160o C, reaction time 6 minutes, screw speed 45 r/min., initial material ratio in weight percentage PLA80- PEG10-TB20. Polyethyleneglycol (PEG) as a plasticizer, PN-47 as a distribution agent was used. It showed that the optimal starch content was 20 wt%. Increase in starch content lead to increase in water absorbability and weight loss of the materials.

Cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands, the endocannabinoids, have been detected in several blood immune cells, including monocytes/macrophages, basophils and lymphocytes. However, their presence in dendritic cells, which play a key role in the initiation and development of the immune response, has never been investigated.

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of a putative specific cytosolic phospholipase A2 inhibitor, arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3), on arachidonic acid (AA) release and lipid mediator biosynthesis by ionophore-stimulated human neutrophils. Initial studies indicated that AACOCF3 at concentrations 0–10 lM did not affect AA release from neutrophils. In contrast, AACOCF3 potently inhibited leukotriene B4 formation by ionophore-stimulated neutrophils (IC50  2.5 lM).

Recent years have witnessed high levels of activity in identifying enzyme systems that catalyse H-transfer by quantum tunneling. Rather than being restricted to a small number of specific enzymes as perceived initially, it has now become an accepted mechanism for H-transfer in a growing number of enzymes. Furthermore, H-tunneling is driven by the thermally induced dynamics of the enzyme. In some of those enzymes that break stable C–H bonds the reaction proceeds purely by quantum tunneling, without the need to partially ascend the barrier.

A gene having high sequence homology (45–49%) with the glycerol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase gene from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was cloned from the aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1 (JCM 9820). This gene expressed in Escherichia coli with the pET vector system consists of 1113 nucleotides with an ATG initiation codon and a TAG termination codon. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 38 kDa by SDS/PAGE and 72.4 kDa by gel column chromatography, indicating presence as a dimer....

To identify and gain a better understanding of the cadherin-like receptor-binding site onBacillus thuringiensisCry toxins, it is advantageous to use Cry1Aa toxin, because its 3D structure is known. Therefore, Cry1Aa toxin was used to examine the locations of cadherin-like protein-binding sites. Initial experiments examining the binding compatibility for Cry1Aa toxin of partial fragments of recombinant proteins of a 175 kDa cadherin-like protein from Bombyx mori(BtR175) and another putative receptor for Cry1Aa toxin, aminopeptidase N1, fromBo. ...

Biosynthesis ofmucin-typeO-glycans is initiated by a family of UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl-transferases, which contain several conserved cysteine resi-dues among the isozymes. We found that a cysteine-specific reagent, p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid (PCMPS), irreversibly inhibited one of the isozymes (GalNAc-T1). Presence of either UDP-GalNAc or UDP during PCMPS treatment protected GalNAc-T1 from inactivation, to the same extent.

The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family degrades the extracellular matrix. One member of this family, MMP-1, initiates the breakdown of interstitial collagens. The expression ofMMP-1 is controlled by themitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway(s) via the activity of acti-vator protein-1 (AP-1) and polyoma enhancing activity-3/ E26 virus (PEA3/ETS) transcription factors through con-sensus binding sites present in the promoter.

Mammalian translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a multisubunit complex containingat least 12 subunitswithan apparent aggregate mass of
700 kDa.eIF3 binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit, promotes the binding of methionyl-tRNA i and mRNA, and interacts with several other initi-ation factors to form the 40S initiation complex.Human cDNAs encoding 11 of the 12 subunits have been isolated previously; here we report the cloning and characterization of a twelfth subunit, a 28-kDa protein named eIF3k.Evi-dence that eIF3k is present in the eIF3 complex was obtained....

It was shown previously [Riedinger, H. J., van Betteraey-Nikoleit, M & Probst, H. (2002)Eur. J. Biochem.269, 2383–2393] that initiation ofin vivo SV40 DNA replication is reversibly suppressed by hypoxia in a state where viral minichromosomes exhibit a nearly complete set of repli-cation proteins. Reoxygenation triggers fast completion and post-translational modifications.

The capacity of dendritic cells to initiate T cell responses is related to their ability to redistribute MHC class II mole-cules from the intracellular MHC class II compartments to the cell surface. This redistribution occurs during dendritic cell development as they are converted from an antigen capturing, immature dendritic cell into an MHC class II-peptide presenting mature dendritic cell. During this matu-ration, antigen uptake and processing are down-regulated and peptide-loaded class II complexes become expressed in a stable manner on the cell surface. ...

Caspases are a conserved family of cysteine proteases. They play diverse roles in inflammatory responses and apoptotic pathways. Among the casp-ases is a subgroup whose primary function is to initiate apoptosis. Within their long prodomains, caspases-2, -9 and -12 contain a caspase activation and recruitment domain while caspases-8 and -10 bear death effector domains.
