The structure of the iron-binding glycoprotein lactoferrin, present in milk and other exocrine secretions, has been elucidated in great detail, both the three-dimensional protein structure and the attached N-glycans. Structure-function relationships are being established. From these studies a function for lactoferrin in host defence and modulation of iron metabolism emerges. This paper describe...

P. fortunei was imported into Iran from China and was planted at different spacings in the forest of the north of Iran, for wood production. In this research, physical, chemical, mechanical properties and morphological characteristics of Iranian cultivated paulownia (Paulownia fortunei L.) wood were investigated. Paulownia has acceptable Runkel, flexibility and slenderness coefficients, which a...
