Induction, regulation, degradation, and biological significance of mammalian metallothioneins.
MTs are small cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins found in many species and, although there are differences between them, it is of note that they have a great deal of sequence and structural homology. Mammalian MTs are 61 or 62 amino acid polypeptides containing 20 conserved cysteine residues that underpin the binding of metals. The existence of MT across species is indicative of its biologica...

Visual perception in humans occurs through absorption of electromagnetic radiation from 400 to 780 nm by photoreceptors in the retina. A photon of visible light carries a sufficient amount of energy to cause, when absorbed, a cis,trans-geometric isomerization of the 11-cis-retinal chromophore, a vitamin A derivative bound to rhodopsin and cone opsins of retinal photoreceptors. The unique bioche...

forth effort at the proper times. Immediately following is a chapter entitled "The Psychology of Labor" in which the sensations of the different stages are described, as well as the actual mechanics of the hospital admission and the various procedures usually carried out during labor and delivery. A discussion of breast feeding and of the "rooming-in" plan is included. The concluding chapters d...

Pyroglutamic acid or 5-oxoproline is the cyclic lactam of glutamic acid. Its presence in living cells has been reported from archaebacteria to humans, and its occurrence in living cells has been known for over a century. Despite its almost ubiquitous presence, the role of pyroglutamic acid in living cells is poorly understood. Pyroglutamic acid is found as an N-terminal modification in many neu...
