[Ni(3',5'-cGMP)(H20)5][3',5'-cGMP] • 5 H 2 0 (1) was isolated from an aqueous solution of Ni(N03)2 and guanosine 3'.5'-cvclic monophosphate at a pH of 0.5. 1 is orthorhombic P2i2i2i with a = 19.020(4), 6 = 7.718(1), c = 12.316(2) A, Z = 2, Dc = 1.70 g-cm-». The structure was refined to R = 0.085 and Rw = 0.077 for 1364 independent reflections. The structure of 1 is disordered. The nickel atom h...

Metapopulation theory provides a framework for understanding population persistence in fragmented landscapes and as such has been widely used in conservation biology to inform management of fragmented populations. However, classical metapopulation theory [Levins, R. (1970) Lect. Notes Math. 2, 75-107] ignores metapopulation structure and local population dynamics, both of which may affect extin...

Rat liver cytosol contains two protein fractions capable of serving as benzo(a)pyrene (BP) carrier in in vitro oxidation of BP (0. Hanson-Painton, M. J. Griffin, and J. Tang, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 707: 1364-1371,1981). The role of the smaller carrier fraction in in vitro BP transport and oxidation was studied. Using Sephadex G-100 chromatography, [14C]BP bound to the carrier was shown...

The attenuation length, \, of photoelectrons with kinetic energies in the range 500-1500 eV in hydrocarbon films was measured with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiols adsorbed on copper and silver surfaces. This work extends a previous s_tudy using SAMs on gold. The fol lowing values were determined for tr : on Ag, 37 A at 1390 eV, 36 A at I I l9 eV, 35 A at I I 13 eV, 30 A at 91...

Pharmacology at the Jagiellonian University was taught since the foundation of the University in 1364 under then used names of medical botany and pharmacognosy. The first in Poland Division of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy was created in 1857. Modern era in the history of pharmacology in Krakow starts in 1929 when Prof. Janusz Supniewski became the Head of the Department. He was the relentless...

There are conflicting reports associating the TGF-β1 gene -C509T polymorphism with susceptibility to IgA nephropathy. We investigated this association through a meta-analysis. Case-control studies were searched up to January 2012; the genotype frequencies in the control group were found to be consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot and the Egger re...

Kinectin is a kinesin-binding protein (Toyoshima et al., 1992) that is required for kinesin-based motility (Kumar et al., 1995). A kinectin cDNA clone containing a 4.7-kilobase insert was isolated from an embryonic chick brain cDNA library by immunoscreening with a panel of monoclonal antibodies. The cDNA contained an open reading frame of 1364 amino acids encoding a protein of 156 kDa. A bacte...
