Psychopathic individuals display a callous-coldhearted approach to interpersonal and affective situations and engage in impulsive and antisocial behaviors. Despite early conceptualizations suggesting that psychopathy is related to enhanced cognitive functioning, research examining executive functioning (EF) in psychopathy has yielded few such findings. It is possible that some psychopathic trai...

Small GTPases play central roles in catalyzing each stage of protein synthesis on the ribosome. In prokaryotes, the relevant GTPases are: initiation factor IF2, which delivers the initiator tRNA to the P (peptide) site of the 30S ribosomal subunit; elongation factor EF-Tu, which delivers the aminoacyl-tRNA to the 70S ribosome (composed of 50S and 30S subunits); elongation factor EF-G, which pro...

The interaction of protein synthesis elongation factor 1 (EF-1) from wheat embryos and elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli with cytidylyl(5’-3’)guanosine 5’-triphosphate(pppGpC) has been studied. The dinucleotide 5’-triphosphate interacts strongly with EF-1 as evidenced by its capacity to inhibit the binding of [3H]GTP to the factor. The analogs pGpC and GpC do not interfere with GTP bin...

Mutants of Azotobacter which grow normally on excess ammonia under a variety of conditions and which grow slowly or not at all on atmospheric nitrogen have been isolated. Extracts of these strains have low or no detectable nitrogenase activity. There are three classes of mutants. Cell-free preparations of members of the first class possess an enhancement factor (EF+) which stimulates wild-type ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the dominant subtype of liver cancer with very low survival rate but chemotherapy for HCC still in grey zone due to limited efficacy and high toxicity profile approved drugs raising heavy demand on drug development HCC. The study aimed establish a desirability based quantitative structure activity relation (QSAR) model predict chemical compounds against one cel...

The elongation phase of protein synthesis is promoted by two G proteins, elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), which delivers aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome, and elongation factor G (EF-G), which catalyzes translocation. Crystallographic investigations have revealed that EF-G.GDP resembles the EF-Tu.GTP.(aminoacyl tRNA) complex, and it has been proposed that the translocase function of EF-G is derived...

Phospholipids containing PUFAs are important vehicles for their delivering to the targeted tissues. In our research project we established enzymatic methods for the enrichment of natural egg-yolk PC with n-3 PUFAs. Instead of synthetic PUFA ethyl esters, the new strategy was developed using polyunsaturated fatty acids enriched fraction (PUFA-EF) from cod liver oil as the natural acyl donors. PU...

The aim of this study is to determine the anthropogenic effects in lake Gala Thrace Region and make an ecological risk analysis as a result these effects. Based on multi-element analyzes samples collected from by Grab Core method, using ICP-MS, which frequently used calculation sediment pollution studies; Ecological lakes with statistical such Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination (CF), Geoaccu...

Although it has been argued that the structure of executive function (EF) may change developmentally, there is little empirical research to examine this view in middle childhood and adolescence. The main objective of this study was to examine developmental changes in the component structure of EF in a large sample (N = 457) of 7-15 year olds. Participants completed batteries of tasks that measu...
