Reduction of MTT by glutathione S-transferase.

The reduction of the tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to a blue formazan product is widely used for assaying cell survival and proliferation. The reduction reaction is catalyzed by dehydrogenases localized in the mitochondria of viable cells. As part of an analysis of the ability of glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes to protect cells from...

Proceedings MTT 2011

There is a certain consensus on some defining features of collocations (they are frequent, recurrent, conventional, institutionalized, etc.), but there is not much agreement on other characteristics, for example whether or not they constitute binary lexical relations, and — crucially— whether they are arbitrary, and must be stipulated, or should instead be deduced or inferred. I will argue that...

MTT Camera Ready Color.PDF

An in-depth investigation of a multi-mode reconfigurable aperture controlled by pin diode switches is presented. A method for reducing the coupling across the pin diode switches is explored, yielding a noticeable improvement in the isolation characteristics between ports. Strategic feeding of the patch antenna ports results in significantly improved radiation patterns, making the system suitabl...

Hilbert fractal curves for HTS miniaturized filters - Microwave Symposium Digest, 2004 IEEE MTT-S International

This work presents novel compact High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) microstrip resonators based on Hilbert fractal curves. Their miniaturization performance has been investigated, emphasizing the parameters which allow to obtain a good trade off between compact size and quality factor. Hilbert resonators with different arrangements have been designed and assessed by using full wave simulator...
