We have studied the molecular physiology of photosynthate unloading and partitioning during seed development of fava bean (Vicia faba). During the prestorage phase, high levels of hexoses in the cotyledons and the apoplastic endospermal space are correlated with activity of cell wall-bound invertase in the seed coat. Three cDNAs were cloned. Sequence comparison revealed genes putatively encodin...

Flexible representations of protein structures can enable structure comparison algorithms to find remotely homologous proteins, even when they have been crystallized in different conformations. By compensating for large spatial variations, these representations can enable these algorithms to better detect remote similarities in the space of protein structures. Subtle variations in protein struc...

Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common disease of the hexose monophosphate pathway existing in more than 400 million people worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify neonates with G6PD deficiency following national program for screening and education of affected newborns’ parents started since June 2007 in Mazandaran, a northern Province of Ira...

By A. SZEINBERG, C. SHEBA, NINA HIRSHORN AND EVA B0D0NYI M OST acquired hemolytic anemias (with the exception of acquired idiopathic hemolytic anemia, incotnpatihle blood transfusions and Rh senzitization) and all cases of thalassemia show in this country a well defined ethnographic distribution. Only Jews originating from oriental and Mediterranean countries who have a da.rker consplexion and ...

Background: Glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common inherited enzyme deficiency of red blood cells involving the enzyme pathway of hexose monophosphate. This study was conducted to examine the effect of vitamin E and folic acid on the improvement of acute hemolysis caused by the G6PD deficiency in patients referred to 17 Shahrivar Hospital, Rasht.
