The tryptic peptides from human pepsin and gastricsin were purified and their sequences were determined. The sequence of 27 residues at the COOH-terminal end of human pepsin was found to be: -Ile-Leu-Gly-Asp-Val-Phe-Ile-ArgGln-Phe-Tyr-Thr-Val-Phe-Asp-Arg-Ala-Asn-Asn-GlnVal-Gly-Leu-Ala-Pro-Val-Ala. The sequence of 19 residues at the COOH-terminal end of human gastricsin was found to be: -Gln-Phe...

ZIF-8 film with enhanced fluorescence is successfully synthesized via capturing CH3COOH as guest molecules, and the PLQY of composite reaches 54.42%.

introduction: carbon nanotubes (cnts) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. nerve growth factor (ngf)-cnts complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. based on the interplay between ngf and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-ag), was investigated in the mechanis...

Novel functional polydipyrrole- and polydicarbazole nanorods have been AAO template-synthesized from COOH-dipyrrole/-dicarbazole monomers using Vapor Deposition and Liquid Phase Polymerizations (VDP and LPP). They were tested as insoluble supports for covalent DNA attachment and hybridization.

The last exon of the C1-1NH gene was screened for point mutations in 36 unrelated hereditary angioedema patients. Mutations were found in eight patients, predicting changes in the short COOH-terminal region which anchors the reactive site loop on its COOH-terminal side. The effects of each of these mutations were examined in transiently transfected Cos-7 cells. Complete intracellular retention ...

PURPOSE X protein (HBx), a product of hepatitis B virus, has been closely associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Based on observations that the COOH-terminal truncated HBx was frequently detected in HCC, the aim of this study is to evaluate the function of COOH-terminal truncated HBx in hepatocarcinogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Expression pattern of HBx was analyze...

The human sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (hSMVT) mediates sodium-dependent uptake of biotin in renal and intestinal epithelia. To date, however, there is nothing known about the structure-function relationship or targeting sequences in the hSMVT polypeptide that control its polarized expression within epithelia. Here, we focused on the role of the COOH-terminal tail of hSMVT in the t...

INTRODUCTION Peptide dendrimers build up from amino acids and they simulate to artificial proteins with globular architecture. These characteristics furnish peptide dendrimers with best biodegradability and biocompatibility in drug delivery systems. METHODS A barbell-like dendrimer from glutamic acid dimethyl ester-poly (ethylene glycol)-glutamic acid dimethyl ester as ABA-type triblock copol...

Abstract In this experiment, the charging rate of PCM is compared in summer and winter seasons, while does not charge effectively season due to lower atmospheric temperature but such effects are seen season. The key objective analysis increase thermal efficiency by using different nano material concentrations (COOH) varying from 0.25 volume % 0.75 %. This work also includes testing conductivity...
