Mathematical models are key to systems biology where they typically describe the topology and dynamics of biological networks, listing biochemical entities and their relationships with one another. Some (hyper)thermophilic Archaea contain an enzyme, called non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN), which catalyzes the direct oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 3...

Interactions at the cellular level are essential for maintaining the fundamental life processes in biological systems. The relationships that are established due to the biochemical reactions occurring within the cells often give rise to extremely complex network structures that may be conveniently represented by bipartite graphs; such networks are often known as biological pathway graphs (BPGs)...

In this study, a series of pretreatments, including ice-glazing, polyphosphate impregnated, and both ice-glazing were employed to pretreat shucked oysters in order explore the optimal processing conditions for long-time storage. The effect repeated freezing-thawing cycles on quality was evaluated. Several indicators used investigate effects pretreatment. For VBN (volatile salt-based nitrogen) v...

Purpose The main aim of this paper is to examine the claim that economic value added (EVA) advocates its superiority over traditional accounting-based financial performance measures, i.e. profit after tax (PAT), earnings per share (EPS), return on assets (ROA), equity (ROE) and investment (ROI) in Indian manufacturing sector at same time, give empirical facts. It also tests examines information...

Doxycycline is the preferred recommended second-line treatment for the treatment of early syphilis. Recent reports showed a declining efficacy trend of doxycycline in treatment of early syphilis. The aim of our study was to assess the serological response to the treatment for early syphilis with doxycycline compared with benzathine penicillin G and evaluate whether doxycycline is still an effec...

In addition to halide oxidation, the vanadium haloperoxidases are capable of oxidizing sulfides to sulfoxides. Four vanadium complexes with tripodal amine ligands, K[VO(O(2))(heida)] (1), VO(2)(bpg) (2), K[VO(2)(ada)] (3), and K(2)[VO(O(2))(nta)] (4), previously shown to perform bromide oxidation (Colpas, G. J.; Hamstra, B. J.; Kampf, J. W.; Pecoraro, V. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 3469-347...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There has been an increasing focus on the relationship between pediatric prescribers and the biomedical industry. There is a lack of research, however, on the biomedical industry's relationship with the professional medical associations (PMAs) of pediatric prescribers. We developed a systematic method to assess this relationship by evaluating PMA transparency and compl...

MOTIVATION Automatic clustering of protein sequences is an important problem in computational biology. The recent explosion in genome sequences has given biological researchers a vast number of novel protein sequences. However, the majority of these sequences have no experimental evidence for their molecular function in the cell, and the responsibility for correctly annotating these sequences f...
