A Pesticide as Medicine ? Medicine as Poison ?

“The shikimate pathway links metabolism of carbohydrates to biosynthesis of aromatic compounds. In a sequence of seven metabolic steps, phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4phosphate are converted to chorismate, the precursor of the aromatic amino acids and many aromatic secondary metabolites. All pathway intermediates can also be considered branch point compounds that may serve as substrates for...

Graphic Rendering Considered as a Compilation Chain

Graphical rendering must be fast enough so as to avoid hindering the user perception/action loop. Traditionally, programmers interleave descriptions and optimizations to achieve such performances, thus compromising modularity. In this paper, we consider graphic rendering as a compilation chain: we designed a static and dynamic graphical compiler that enables a designer to clearly separate the d...

Searching for a Poison in a Poison

chlorinated biphenyl (PC8I mixtures had been described previously. High mortality, liver damage, and edema were associated with only two of the three PCB5. Using column and gas chromatography, several compounds were identified in the diethylether fracdon of these two PCBs. A chick embryo assay confirmed the high toxicity of this fraction. Mass spectremetric and microcoulometric analyses indicat...
