Immunization of rabbits with a complex of methylated bovine serum albumin and N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF)-modified poly(dG-dC) X poly(dG-dC), a polynucleotide that can assume the Z-DNA conformation, yielded several populations of antibodies specific for Z-DNA determinants. The Z-DNA determinants were analyzed by examination of the antisera and of antibody preparations purified on immunoadsorb...

distributed generation (dg) sources are becoming more prominent indistribution systems due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. locationsand capacities of dg sources have great impacts on the system losses in adistribution network. this paper presents a study aimed for optimally determiningthe size and location of distributed generation units in distribution systems withdifferent l...

Poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC) was modified by reaction with N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (N-AcO-AAF). Two samples with 6.6% and 8.5% modified bases were prepared. The modified bases are randomly distributed along the polymer chain, as deduced from competition experiments between antibodies against N-2-(guanosin-8-yl)-acetylaminofluorene, modified poly(dG-dC) . poly(dG-dC), and modified DNAs. ...

The presence of delay of gratification (DG) in childhood is correlated with success later in a person's life. Is there any way of helping adults with a low level of DG to obtain similar success? The present research examines how social support helps those low in DG nonetheless to act similarly to those high in DG. This research includes both correlational studies and experiments that manipulate...

let $mathcal{x}$ be a class of $r$-modules‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate ;$mathcal{x}$-injective (projective) and dg-$mathcal{x}$-injective (projective) complexes which are generalizations of injective (projective) and dg-injecti‎‎ve (projective) complexes‎. ‎we prove that some known results can be extended to the class of ;$mathcal{x}$-injective (projective) and dg-$mathcal{x}$-injective ...

A variety of diacylglycerol (DG) molecular species are produced in stimulated cells. Conventional (α, βII and γ) and novel (δ, ε, η and θ) protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms are known to be activated by DG. However, a comprehensive analysis has not been performed. In this study, we analyzed activation of the PKC isozymes in the presence of 2-2000 mmol% 16:0/16:0-, 16:0/18:1-, 18:1/18:1-, 18:0/20:4...

Dystroglycan (DG) is a membrane receptor belonging to the complex of glycoproteins associated to dystrophin. DG is formed by two subunits, alpha-DG, a highly glycosylated extracellular matrix protein, and beta-DG, a transmembrane protein. The two DG subunits interact through the C-terminal domain of alpha-DG and the N-terminal extracellular domain of beta-DG in a noncovalent way. Such interacti...
