To gain a better understanding of molecular and biochemical events involved in light intensity adaptations of Dunaliella salina, we studied the expression of phytoen synthase (psy) gene; pigments, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids accumulation under two light intensities. The cells were pre-cultured under 50 µmol photon m-2s-1 light intensity and then transferred to two different light intensi...

The potencies of kainate, glutamate and diastereomers of 4-methylglutamate were determined for activation and steady-state desensitization of GluR6 and dorsal root ganglion-type kainate receptors using whole-cell voltage clamp. In HEK293 cells expressing GluR6, all four diastereomers induced desensitizing inward currents at relatively high concentrations (> 50 microM), however, the 2S,4R diaste...

The distribution, clearance, and bioavailability of (2S,6S)-hydroxynorketamine has been studied in the Wistar rat. The plasma and brain tissue concentrations over time of (2S,6S)-hydroxynorketamine were determined after intravenous (20 mg/kg) and oral (20 mg/kg) administration of (2S,6S)-hydroxynorketamine (n = 3). After intravenous administration, the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated ...

: It is not exactly known why certain food proteins are more likely to sensitize. One of the characteristics of most food allergens is that they are stable to the acidic and proteolytic conditions in the digestive tract. This property is thought to be a risk factor in allergic sensitization. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the contribution of the protein structure of 2S albu...

We have discovered three certain (SAXJ1324.5−6313, 2S 1711−339 and SAXJ1828.5−1037) and two likely (SAXJ1818.7+1424 and SAXJ2224.9+5421) new thermonuclear X-ray burst sources with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras, and observed a second burst ever from a sixth one (2S 0918−549). Four of them (excluding 2S 1711−339 and 2S 0918−549) are newly detected X-ray sources from which we observed single bur...

In this edition, the treatment of the branching ratios of the ψ(2S) and χc0,1,2 has undergone an important restructuring. When measuring a branching ratio experimentally, it is not always possible to normalize the number of events observed in the corresponding decay mode to the total number of particles produced. Therefore, the experimenters sometimes report the number of observed decays with r...
