I’ll now sketch a proof. It basically follows by by recalling the definition of the probability of an even conditioned on X2 = a2. We first note that the set of choices for (X 1, X2, 3) given that X2 = a2 is def Sa2 = {(X1, a2, X3) : (X1, a2) ∈ C12 and (a2, X3) ∈ C23} . Conditioning on X2 = a2, we obtain a sample chosen uniformly from Sa2 . Thus, for (a 1, a2, a3) ∈ Sa2 , 1 P [(X1, X2, X3) = (a...

Two previously described sponge cDNAs, EmC4 and C23, respectively encoding a short chain collagen and a fibrillar collagen, were used to characterize collagen gene families in a freshwater sponge. EmC4 detected several clones when used to screen a cDNA library. Two overlapping clones, EmC13 1 and 2, were sequenced and appeared highly homologous to EmC4. Contrarily to C23, EmC4 hybridized with 1...

The present contribution tests whether countries can be pooled when studying the financegrowth nexus. Overall, our results point toward a ‘pragmatic’ positive answer, though considerable heterogeneity is present among developing countries. JEL codes: C23, O16

Pneumolysin is the one of the major virulence factor of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. In previous report, it is shown that β-sitosterol, a natural compound without antimicrobial activity, is a potent antagonist of pneumolysin. Here, two new pneumolysin natural compound inhibitors, with differential activity, were discovered via haemolysis assay. To explore the key factor of the confor...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Antibiotic resistance in pathogens has become a serious problem worldwide. Therefore, the search for new antibiotics for drug resistanct pathogens is an important endeavor. The present study deals with the production of anti-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) potential of Streptomyces rubrolavendulae ICN3 and evaluation of anti-MRSA compound in zebrafish ...

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein with extracellular inflammatory cytokine activity. It is released passively during cell injury and necrosis, and secreted actively by immune cells. HMGB1 contains three conserved redox-sensitive cysteine residues: C23 and C45 can form an intramolecular disulfide bond, whereas C106 is unpaired and is essential for the interaction with Toll-L...
