Based on our previous results, we investigated whether cyclosporin A (CsA)-induced vasopressin type 1A receptor up-regulation was mediated by free radicals. We report that CsA analogues with different affinities for cyclophilin and calcineurin were able to ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by a loss of motor neurons in the brain (brainstem and cortex) and the spinal cord that leads to a motor neurological symptomatology. Approximately 10% of ALS case ...
Assigning functions to every gene in a living organism is the next challenge for functional genomics. In fact, 85-90% of the 19,000 genes of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans genome do not produce any visible phenotype when inactivated, which hampers det ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder arising from the selective death of motor neurons. Approximately 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are caused by toxic gain-of-function mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) ...
Hydroxyl radicals dominate daytime tropospheric chem., responsible for reactive removal of most trace gases (e.g., volatile org. compds.[VOC]), and is an active participant in the NO and NO2 cycle. Pump-and-probe LIDAR was used to examine the OH- chem. in ...
Using the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group, we study the time evolution of density correlations of interacting spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice after a sudden change in the interaction strength. Over a broad range ...
A new feature of the long-time evolution of a strong vortex with initially monotonic potential vorticity is found by direct numerical solution of the quasigeostrophic equivalent barotropic equation. Two satellites, which emerge after splitting of an annulu ...
We report on microscopic observation of solvation by argon atoms of excited states of an ethylenic-like mol., TDMAE (tetrakis dimethylaminoethylene). Two exptl. methods were used: gas phase dynamics for the observation of the evolution through excited stat ...
Cytochrome c peroxidase (I) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was subjected to directed mol. evolution to generate mutants with increased activity against ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)]. Using a combination of DNA shuffling and s ...
Cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was subjected to directed mol. evolution to generate mutants with increased activity against the classical peroxidase substrate, guaiacol, thus changing the substrate specificity of CCP from the p ...
