Atypical kinetic profiles in drug metabolism reactions.
The cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved in the biotransformation of both xenobiotic and endobiotic hydrophobic compounds, implicated in the bioactivation of certain procarcinogens (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene), and responsible for many metabolism-based drug-drug interactions (Wrighton and Stevens, 1992). Consequently, the goal of drug metabolism and toxicology labs is to not only to determine the P45...
متن کاملFlight-Level Thermodynamic Instrument Wetting Errors in Hurricanes. Part II: Implications
The implications of flight-level instrument wetting error removal upon the mean thermodynamic structure across the eyewall, buoyancy of rainband vertical motions, and vertical energy fluxes near the top of the inflow layer are studied. Thermodynamic quantities across the mean eyewall are found to increase at all levels. As a result, maximum radial gradients of each quantity are shifted from the...
متن کاملβB1-Crystallin: Thermodynamic Profiles of Molecular Interactions
BACKGROUND β-Crystallins are structural proteins maintaining eye lens transparency and opacification. Previous work demonstrated that dimerization of both βA3 and βB2 crystallins (βA3 and βB2) involves endothermic enthalpy of association (∼8 kcal/mol) mediated by hydrophobic interactions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Thermodynamic profiles of the associations of dimeric βA3 and βB1 and tetr...
متن کاملFlight-Level Thermodynamic Instrument Wetting Errors in Hurricanes. Part I: Observations
Flight-level thermodynamic errors caused by the wetting of temperature and moisture sensors immersed within the airstream are studied using data from 666 radial legs collected in 31 hurricanes at pressure levels ranging from 850 to 500 mb. Concurrent measurements from a modified Barnes radiometer and a Rosemount 102 immersion thermometer are compared to identify regions, called instrument wetti...
متن کاملFemale hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes.
Do people judge hurricane risks in the context of gender-based expectations? We use more than six decades of death rates from US hurricanes to show that feminine-named hurricanes cause significantly more deaths than do masculine-named hurricanes. Laboratory experiments indicate that this is because hurricane names lead to gender-based expectations about severity and this, in turn, guides respon...
