Developing an empirical model of stand GPP with the LUE approach: analysis of eddy covariance data at five contrasting conifer sites in Europe

This paper develops a statistical model for daily gross primary production (GPP) in boreal and temperate coniferous forests. The model applies the light use efficiency (LUE) approach, which estimates the conversion efficiency of daily absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) into daily GPP as a product of potential LUE and modifying factors. The latter were derived from daily total APAR

Refinement and evaluation of a pharmacophore model for flavone derivatives binding to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA(A) receptor

Sustained intravascular exposure to propofol does not prolong pain at the site of injection

Theoretical study of structure of catalytic copper site in nitrite reductase

The active-site cysteinyls and hydrophobic cavity residues of resA are important for cytochrome c maturation in Bacillus subtilis

Nest-site selection and predation in Savi’s Warblers, Locustella luscinioides.

Thrombin-mediated proteolysis of factor V resulting in gradual B-domain release and exposure of the factor Xa-binding site.

Site-selective regulation of platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor tyrosine phosphorylation by T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase.

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) ß receptor mediates mitogenic and chemotactic signals. Like other tyrosine kinase receptors, the PDGF ß receptor is negatively regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). To explore whether T-cell PTP (TC-PTP) negatively regulates the PDGF ß receptor, we compared PDGF ß receptor tyrosine phosphorylation in wild-type and TC-PTP knockout (ko) mouse em

Interaction of serum amyloid A with human cystatin Cuidentification of binding sites

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a multifunctional acute-phase protein whose natural role seems to be participation in many physiologic and pathological processes. Prolonged increased SAA level in a number of chronic inflammatory and neoplastic diseases gives rise to reactive systemic amyloid A amyloidosis, where the N-terminal 76-amino acid residue-long segment of SAA is deposited as amyloid fibrils. Rec

Regulation of HPV16 splice sites located in the E6/E7 oncogene coding region

Kan cellers proteiner bota HPV- sjukdomar? Livmoderhalscancer är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna som drabbar kvinnor världen över. Varje år, diagnostiseras ungefär 500 000 kvinnor och 270 000 dör i sjukdomen, varav de flesta dödsfallen sker i utvecklingsländer. Livmoderhalscancer orsakas av det vanligt förekommande viruset humant papillomvirus (HPV) och för att hitta bättre behandling mot sHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA viruses that have evolved over millions of years and are well-adapted to humans. Persistent infections with HPVs, can result in cancer development. There are over 200 different HPV types that can be divided into high- and low risk types based on their ability to cause cancer. HPV16 is the most common high- risk type that accounts for more than 50 % of al

Magnetic phases of one-dimensional lattices with 2-4 fermions per site

The conserved WW-domain binding sites in Dystroglycan C-terminus are essential but partially redundant for Dystroglycan function

Accurate Predictions of Nonpolar Solvation Free Energies Require Explicit Consideration of Binding-Site Hydration

Continuum solvation methods are frequently used to increase the efficiency of computational methods to estimate free energies. In this paper, we have evaluated how well such methods estimate the nonpolar solvation free-energy change when a ligand binds to a protein. Three different continuum methods at various levels of approximation were considered, viz., the polarized continuum model (PCM), a me
