Light induces retinal synthesis via photoactivation of a small amount of Chlamydomonas rhodopsin pigment (Foster et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 6379-6383). A reducing agent [dithiothreitol (DDT) or mercaptoacetic acid (MAA)] also induces retinal synthesis in the dark via a rhodopsin with a chromophore. If the opsin is saturated with retinal and is bleached with light in the presence of ...

Several diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have profiles with resolved sub-peaks that resemble rotational of large molecules. Analysis these can constrain the sizes and geometries DIB carriers, especially if exhibit clear variations along lines sight probing different physical conditions. Using extensive data set from EDIBLES survey we searched for systematic in peak-to-peak separation $\lambda\...

Correction for 'Highly photoluminescent copper carbene complexes based on prompt rather than delayed fluorescence' by Alexander S. Romanov et al., Chem. Commun., 2016, 52, 6379-6382.

The concept of school sport on which we are basing our experience is set in the Historical Territory of Bizkaia (Basque Country, Spain) and this is regulated by Bizkaia’s Diputación Foral (Provincial Council), governed by the regional regulations of the Basque Government. This government takes the view that School Sport covers sport activities at teaching centres outside actual school teaching ...

A media consisting of isatin-Schiff bases and its inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrine was developed to maximize the production of antibiotics Hexaene H-85 and azalomycine B by Streptomyces hygroscopicus CH-7. The media with β-cyclodextrine inclusion complex of isatin-3-thiosemicarbazone resulted in the maximum antibiotics concentration of 493 μg/cm for Hexaene H-85 and 191 μg/cm for azalom...

BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce the need for repeat target revascularization (TVR) compared with bare metal stents (BMS) but are more costly. The objective was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of DES versus BMS. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated clinical outcomes and costs of care over 3 years in 1147 undergoing BMS before the availability of DES and 1247 DES patients at Wake For...

Olive leaves have drawn attention because of their contents bioactive compounds that exhibit antioxidant activity. The aim this study was to investigate the impact irrigation on phenolic and activity olive belonged different varieties collected between September December in irrigated rainfed orchards. Principal components analysis (PCA) used explain effect variables. highest total content deter...
