The gas phase structure of deprotonated cysteine (Cys-H(+))(-) has recently gained attention because of its counterintuitive calculated minimum energy structure in which it appears that deprotonation occurs at the -SH moiety rather than at the nominally more acidic carboxylic acid group. Because previous experimental efforts have not yielded to a consensus regarding the structure of the anion, ...

The chemisorption of magnetically bistable transition metal complexes on planar surfaces has recently attracted increased scientific interest due to its potential application in various fields, including molecular spintronics. In this work, the synthesis of mixed-ligand complexes of the type [NiII2L(L')](ClO4), where L represents a 24-membered macrocyclic hexaazadithiophenolate ligand and L' is...

Clear similarities between antibiotic resistance islands in the chromosomes of extensively antibiotic-resistant isolates from the two dominant, globally distributed Acinetobacter baumannii clones, GC1 and GC2, suggest a common origin. A close relative of the likely progenitor of both of these regions was found in R1215, a conjugative IncM plasmid from a Serratia marcescens strain isolated prior...

BACKGROUND Gc protein is the precursor for Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF), with three phenotypes: Gc1f, Gc1s and Gc2, based on its electrophoretic mobility. The difference in electrophoretic mobility is because of the difference in its posttranslational sugar moiety composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the difference between Gc protein and GcMAF electrophore...

The behaviour of the eddy-driven jet over the Atlantic sector during the winter season is analysed for the ERA-Interim reanalysis and the coupled and atmosphere-only configuration of HadGEM3-GC2 the climate model in use at the Met Office. The tri-modal distribution that reveals the jet-stream structure in terms of its preferred locations is reproduced with good accuracy by the model, although a...

Abstract Introduction Glutaminolysis, beside glycolysis, is a key metabolic pathway of cancer cell that provides energy and substrates for the synthesis nucleic acids, proteins, lipids. The mediated by both mitochondrial cytosolic enzymes. Neither expression glutaminolysis enzymes in colon cells nor influence various oxygen concentrations on their has been studied so far. Objectives aim study w...

The entry of herpes simplex virus (HSV) into mammalian cells is a multistep process beginning with an attachment step involving glycoproteins gC and gB. A second step requires the interaction of glycoprotein gD with a cell surface molecule. We explored the interaction between gC and the cell surface by using purified proteins in the absence of detergent. Truncated forms of gC and gD, gC1(457t),...

tions. To allow the database to reflect the content of the live repositories to within a useful time frame, any regular automated updates of the reference database from live repositories could label new alleles with ‘provisional’ designations prior to committee approval. As a method for identifying resistance genes from WGS data the use of a reference pseudomolecule/database may yet be supersed...
