The largest protected areas of any kind have all recently been established in the ocean. Since 2012, 5 protected areas that exceed 1 million km2 in size have been created, mostly in remote oceanic areas. The potential conservation and fisheries benefits of such reserves have been debated in the public, the media, and the scientific literature. Little is known about their effectiveness for com m...

A single histidine C-2 proton resonance is seen to shift with change in pH in the NMR spectra of horse ferrocytochrome c, as previously found for horse ferricytochrome c (COHEN, J. S., FISHER, W. R., AND SCHECHTER, A. N. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 1113-1118). The pK, value (6.5) of this histidine residue in the reduced form is almost the same as that (6.4) in the oxidized form, and only a small...

The purpose of this project is to examine the potential of using tuna hard parts as natural markers to refine our understanding of population structure of tropical tuna. Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) were selected for study as tagging data and recent studies suggest that the movement patterns of yellowfin may be highly variable and more restricted than other tunas. Hawaiian yellowfin provi...

introduction: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is the major cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. because of increasing number of infected patients throughout the world, various studies are concentrated on development of high quality diagnostic tests and genotyping in various regions of the world. methods: in this study, we used rt-pcr to isolate and a...

1H NMR resonance assignments in the spectra of horse, tuna, Neurospora crassa and Candida krusei cytochromes c are described. Assignments have been made using NMR double-resonance techniques in conjunction with electron-exchange experiments, spectral comparison of related proteins, and consideration of the X-ray structure of tuna cytochrome c. Resonances arising from 11 residues of horse cytoch...
