Redox regulation and trapping sulphenic acid in the peroxide sensitive human mitochondrial branched chain aminotransferase (2008)
Journal Article

The human branched chain aminotransferase enzymes are key regulators of glutamate metabolism in the brain and are among a growing number of redox-sensitive proteins. Studies that use thiol-specific reagents and electrospray ionization mass spectromet...

Effects of chlorhexidine on a tongue-flora microcosm and VSC production using an in vitro biofilm perfusion model (2008)
Journal Article

An in vitro perfusion biofilm model, derived from tongue-scrape microflora removed from one individual, was employed to study sulfide biogenesis and the effects of repeated exposure to chlorhexidine (CHX). Volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) were measure... Read More about Effects of chlorhexidine on a tongue-flora microcosm and VSC production using an in vitro biofilm perfusion model.

Proteomic analysis of a compatible interaction between Pisum sativum (pea) and the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora viciae (2008)
Book Chapter

A proteomic approach was used to identify host proteins altering in abundance during Peronospora viciae infection of a susceptible cultivar of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Livioletta). Proteins were extracted from fully developed pea leaflets at 4 days pos...

Dynamic control and information processing in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction using a coevolutionary algorithm (2008)
Journal Article

We propose that the behavior of nonlinear media can be controlled dynamically through coevolutionary systems. In this study, a light-sensitive subexcitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is controlled using a heterogeneous cellular automaton. A checke...

Cultura y ocio, ¿Alternativas, complementos o una misma cosa? (2008)
Book Chapter

If the entertainment products of ancient times are now considered part of culture, why should science not be presented as an entertainment product today? Time will tell what becomes part of the future's culture and what does not.

Physical and biological controls on the in situ kinetic isotope effect associated with oxidation of atmospheric CH4 in mineral soils (2008)
Journal Article

The amounts and δ13C values of CH4 at subambient concentrations in soil gas were determined along depth profiles in a U.K. grassland (Bronydd Mawr) and woodland (Leigh Woods). The data were used to determine in situ kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) ass... Read More about Physical and biological controls on the in situ kinetic isotope effect associated with oxidation of atmospheric CH4 in mineral soils.

Effect of sex steroids on expression of sulfotransferase 2B1 immunoreactive protein in primary cultured porcine hepatocytes (2008)
Journal Article

An excessive accumulation of androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) in pig adipose tissue is one of the two major contributors to the phenomenon of boar taint. High levels of adipose tissue androstenone have been related to a low rate of hepatic andro...

Investigation of the effect of pressure on retention of small molecules using reversed-phase ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (2008)
Journal Article

The effect of inlet pressure on the retention of a series of low molecular weight acids, bases and neutrals, was investigated at constant temperature in reversed-phase liquid chromatography using a commercial ultra-high-pressure system (Waters UPLC i... Read More about Investigation of the effect of pressure on retention of small molecules using reversed-phase ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Impact of irradiation on fish and seafood shelf life: A comprehensive review of applications and irradiation detection (2008)
Journal Article

Irradiation is one of the most important and effective methods towards food preservation despite the consumer lack of trust and aversion towards this method. Irradiation effectiveness greatly depends on the dose provided to food. This review aims at...

Expression of pro- and anti-angiogenic isoforms of VEGF is differentially regulated by splicing and growth factors (2008)
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA; hereafter referred to as VEGF) is a key regulator of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Two families of VEGF isoforms are generated by alternate splice-site selection in the terminal exon. Proxim...
