The original bicyclam, JM1657 (JM standing for Johnson Matthey) was discovered as a contaminant in a commercial preparation of monocyclams when evaluated for their anti-HIV activity. The original compound, in which the cyclam rings were tethered by a C–C linkage could not be re-synthesized but launched the synthesis of new bicyclams in which the cyclam moieties were linked through an aliphatic ...

In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), two clusters of activating mutations are known in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) gene: FLT3-internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITDs) in the juxtamembrane (JM) domain in 20% to 25% of patients, and FLT3 point mutations in the tyrosine-kinase domain (FLT3-TKD) in 7% to 10% of patients, respectively. Here, we have characterized a new class of activating poin...

Transmembrane (TM) helix and juxtamembrane (JM) domains (TM-JM) bridge the extracellular and intracellular domains of single-pass membrane proteins, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). TM-JM dimerization plays a crucial role in regulation of EGFR kinase activity at the cytoplasmic side. Although the interaction of JM with membrane lipids is thought to be important to turn on EGF ...

Various digital cellular standards were developed in several regional standards bodies during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The first-generation standards had been developed some ten years earlier. GSM The development of the new pan-European digital cellular standard got under way in 1985. GSM has since evolved into the leading global second-generation standard, in terms of number of subscrib...

The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate whether Jungle Memory working memory training (JM) affects performance on working memory tasks, performance in mathematics and gains made on a mathematics training (MT) in school aged children between 9-12 years old (N = 64) with both difficulties in mathematics, as well as attention and working memory. Children were randomly assig...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are components of the basement membrane (BM) of various tissues. They consist of a core protein and negatively charged glycosaminoglycan side chains: the heparan sulfate (HS) moieties. In psoriasis, uninvolved skin of psoriasis patients and in normal skin, the distribution of HSPGs was studied immunohistochemically by means of three different monoclonal ant...

Erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) dimerization is an important step in erythrocyte formation. Its transmembrane domain (TMD) and juxtamembrane (JM) region are essential for signal transduction across the membrane. A construct compassing residues S212-P259 and containing the TMD and JM region of the human EpoR was purified and reconstituted in detergent micelles. The solution structure of the const...
