whereas the recognition of c-Fos (a protein of the same family as Fra-1), MS2-polymerase (the protein in fusion) and β-galactosidase (a nonspecific protein that allows to control for nonspecific anti-Fra-1 reactivity as well as its reactivity to contaminating bacterial proteins) decreases. These results are confirmed by the Western blots shown in Figure 2, where anti-Fra-1 antiserum recognition...

Hydrolysis of ethyl acetate and starch in water and of cellulose in an ionic liquid by using HY and HZSM-5 solid acid catalysts are compared. In water, HZSM-5 is more active than HY. This trend is reversed in ionic liquid. Reactivity differences are explained based on interactions between solvent and catalyst acid site local environments, which depend on zeolite channel structure and Si/Al rati...

IN previous studies, pressor reactivity to several standardized noxious stimuli was evaluated quantitatively, and increased responsiveness was demonstrated in hypertensive as compared with normotensive subjects." 2 The stimuli employed in these studies included simple psychologic provocation as well as the cold pressor test and the intravenous injection of a small dose of angiotensin II. Differ...

Hydroxyl radicals play a central role in the troposphere as they control the lifetime of many trace gases. Measurement of OH reactivity (OH loss rate) is important to better constrain the OH budget and also to evaluate the completeness of measured VOC budget. Total atmospheric OH reactivity was measured for the first time in an European Megacity: Paris and its surrounding areas with 12 million ...

UNLABELLED In problem gamblers, diminished cognitive control and increased impulsivity is present compared to healthy controls. Moreover, impulsivity has been found to be a vulnerability marker for the development of pathological gambling (PG) and problem gambling (PrG) and to be a predictor of relapse. In this review, the most recent findings on functioning of the brain circuitry relating to i...

Minson CT. Thermal provocation to evaluate microvascular reactivity in human skin. J Appl Physiol 109: 1239 –1246, 2010. First published May 27, 2010; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00414.2010.—With increased interest in predictive medicine, development of a relatively noninvasive technique that can improve prediction of major clinical outcomes has gained considerable attention. Current tests that ar...

The kinetics of C–Cl bond cleavage on the Pd(111) surface have been measured using four chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) containing different numbers of chlorine atoms on the primary carbon: CF3CCl3, CF3CFCl2, CF3CF2Cl, and CF3CHFCl. The desorption energies, Edes, of the CFCs were found to increase with increasing number of chlorine atoms in the following order: CF3CF2Cl < CF3CHFCl < CF3CFCl2 < CF3CC...
