Beta 2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is a single chain 50 kDa highly glycosylated glycoprotein at an approximate concentration of 4 μM in cells. The abundance of this protein in plasma and its high state of preservation indicate the important role of this protein in mammalian. In addition, β2GPI has a particular structure in the fifth domain, and is categorized as the major antigen recognized by autoa...

Let X be a non empty normed structure and let s1 be a sequence of X. The functor ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N yielding a sequence of X is defined as follows: (Def. 1) ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(0) = s1(0) and for every natural number n holds ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(n + 1) = ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(n) + s1(n + 1). One can prove the following proposition (1) Let X be an add-associative right zeroed right complementa...

Sequencing of the S1 genes of nine Australian strains of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) identified two genotypically distinct groups of strains. The strains Vic S, V5/90, N1/62, N3/62, N9/74, and N2/75 comprised group I, sharing 80.7-98.3% identity in their deduced amino acid sequences. All group I strains were able to replicate in the trachea and kidney but only four strains, Vic S, N1/62, ...

STUDY DESIGN Biomechanical, cadaveric study. OBJECTIVE To compare the fixation strength of a novel S1 pedicle screw insertion technique in a revision setting to a standard S1 pedicle screw and an L5 pedicle screw. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Fusions to the sacrum remain a difficult clinical challenge. Very few salvage techniques exist when a nonunion occurs. METHODS The biomechanical integ...

OBJECTIVES   We identify the contrast volumes needed to reach specific landmarks during S1 transforaminal epidural injections (S1-TFEIs). DESIGN   Prospective, nonrandomized, observational human study. Setting.  Academic/private pain management practice. Subjects.  Forty-two patients undergoing S1-TFEIs were investigated. Thirty-seven patients were included in this study. Interventions.  S1-T...

Since the start of COVID-19 outbreak, more than four million people have died this disease. Given its ability to provide a precise response, mass spectrometry-based proteomics could represent useful tool study pathology. To end, an untargeted nLC-ESI-MS/MS-based method characterise SARS-CoV-2 proteins, including possible variants, and investigate human saliva plasma proteome in single analysis ...

It is known that ternary complexes of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) with ADP and the Pi analogs beryllium fluoride (BeFx) and aluminum fluoride (AlF4-) are stable analogs of the myosin ATPase intermediates M* x ATP and M** x ADP x Pi, respectively. Using kinetic approaches, we compared the rate of formation of the complexes S1 x ADP x BeFx and S1 x ADP x AlF4- in the absence and in the presence of ...
