In some thermally driven two-phase natural circulation systems, bubble pumps serve as the key driving powers for cycles. Recently a type of distribute heating pump generator (BPG) is gradually receiving attention due to its compact structure and great potentials utilize solar energy low-grade waste heat recovery. The BPG provides variety promising features (e.g., passive transfer, enhanced reli...

The amino acid sequence of the monomeric 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM) from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been determined. Amino acid sequencing of proteolytic fragments of the enzyme showed the S. pombe mutase to be similar in sequence to the tetrameric enzyme of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). An S. pombe cDNA library was sc...

In this paper, we consider a task of providing desired compression ratio (CR) in lossy color images by better portable graphics (BPG) encoder. The problem consists the fact that encoder, on one hand, produces certain benefits compared to other modern image techniques sense quality for same CR, but, CR fixed value parameter controls (PCC) BPG can vary very vast limits depending content. Since re...

Article history: Received on: 26/01/2017 Accepted on: 22/03/2017 Available online: 30/05/2017 The purpose of the present study is to explore the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties and to correlate the calculated physicochemical properties with the absorption and distribution profile of seven natural anti-tubercular agents such as 6a,7-dehydro-N-formylnornantenine (DNF...

A finales de septiembre del pasado año se celebraba MONDIACULT 2022 en Ciudad México, el mismo enclave que cuarenta años antes acogía la primera Conferencia Mundial sobre Políticas Culturales. Convocado por Unesco, encuentro reunió a delegados 150 países miembros las Naciones Unidas para debatir cultura términos desarrollo, hacer balance, este sentido, cuatro décadas intervenciones con política...

Structure analysis of the cell-penetrating peptide transportan 10 (TP10) revealed an exemplary range of different conformations in the membrane-bound state. The bipartite peptide (derived N-terminally from galanin and C-terminally from mastoparan) was found to exhibit prominent characteristics of (i) amphiphilic α-helices, (ii) intrinsically disordered peptides, as well as (iii) β-pleated amylo...

Kisspeptin 1 is a neuropeptide hormone of the RFamide family, which act as an upstream regulator of brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis in most vertebrates including teleosts. In the present study, a 16 amino acid long putative mature bioactive peptide (kiss 1) from preprokisspeptin 1 of golden mahseer, Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822), was synthesized and characterized using an integrated (experimen...

Human phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is an energy generating glycolytic enzyme that catalyses the transfer of a phosphoryl group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) to ADP producing 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG) and ATP. PGK is composed of two α/β Rossmann-fold domains linked by a central α-helix and the active site is located in the cleft formed between the N-domain which binds BPG or 3PG, and the C-...

The functional residual capacity (FRC) and airway resistance (R(aw)) of the rat were measured, using a newly designed body plethysmograph (BPG), the inner environment of which was maintained at body temperature and was water-vapor saturated. The subjects were anesthetized and tracheally intubated male Wistar rats (n = 15). After measuring the FRC and R(aw), we analyzed the effects of inhaled me...

occur in much less than 24 h, as the apparent first-order rate constant for net P, influx was 1.7 f 0.2h I, and the value for efflux was similar; this corresponded to a half-time of only 25min and was independent of extracellular P, concentration up to 13mM. The measured cellular P, concentrations at 24 and 48 h therefore suggest that erythrocyte P, does not follow the passive distribution mode...
