A novel branched-chain amino acid metabolon: Protein-protein interactions in a supramolecular complex (2007)
Journal Article

The catabolic pathways of branched-chain amino acids have two common steps. The first step is deamination catalyzed by the vitamin B6-dependent branched-chain aminotransferase isozymes (BCATs) to produce branched-chain α-keto acids (BCKAs). The secon...

Voltammetric behaviour of DNA bases at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its application to a simple and rapid voltammetric method for the determination of oxidative damage in double stranded DNA (2007)
Journal Article

Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been investigated as possible sensors to identify γ-irradiation induced oxidative damage in double stranded (ds) DNA. Studies were undertaken to explore the possibility of using both cyclic voltammetry an...

Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter in natural, waste and polluted waters - A review (2007)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems originates from a range of sources. Some is allochthonous, transported from the surrounding landscape to the water body, and is derived from and influenced by the geology, land use and hydrology of it...

A proteomic investigation of glomerular podocytes from a Denys-Drash Syndrome patient with a mutation in the Wilms tumour suppressor gene WT1 (2007)
Journal Article

Glomerular podocytes are essential for blood filtration in the kidney underpinned by their unique cytoskeletal morphology. An increasing number of kidney diseases are being associated with key podocyte abnormalities. The Wilms tumour suppressor gene...

Assessment of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ by measuring structural changes of supercoiled DNA (2007)
Journal Article

A method for the measurement of the relative toxicity of Cu2+ in aquatic environments is proposed. It is based on the quantitative measurement on the shape change of the supercoiled DNA after it is contacted with different levels of Cu2+ for various...

Breed-associated variations in the sequence of the pig 3β- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene (2007)
Journal Article

The entire sequence of the pig 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) gene has recently become known. This gene is deemed to be important in androstenone metabolism in pig liver, and its defective expression has been shown to be related to androste...

DNA detection rates of host mtDNA in bloodmeals of human body lice (Pediculus humanus L., 1758) (2007)
Journal Article

Using polymerase chain reaction, we investigated the extent to which digestion affects the potential to amplify 12S mitochondrial DNA sequences from bloodmeals of individual human body lice (Pediculus humanus L.) (Phthiraptera, Pediculidae) up to 72... Read More about DNA detection rates of host mtDNA in bloodmeals of human body lice (Pediculus humanus L., 1758).

A study of retention and overloading of basic compounds with mixed-mode reversed-phase/cation-exchange columns in high performance liquid chromatography (2007)
Journal Article

The retention and overload of bases were studied on two new mixed-mode, silica based phases possessing ionic carboxylate functionalities of different acidity embedded within a hydrophobic ligand (SiELC Primesep™). At low pH, good peak shapes were obt...
