OBJECTIVE The optimal polymerization of resin-based luting cements plays a critical role in the long-term clinical success of dental prostheses and indirect restorations. This study investigated a mutual action between the conformational changes and mechanical properties of a dimethacrylate resin-based luting cement with and without pre-application of the acidic functional monomer 10-methacrylo...

The X-ray structure of benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFDC) from Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633 shows it to be a tetramer. This was believed to be typical of all thiamin diphosphate-dependent decarboxylases until recently when the structure of KdcA, a branched-chain 2-keto acid decarboxylase from Lactococcus lactis, showed it to be a homodimer. This lent credence to earlier unfolding experiments ...

Oxytetracycline is used to treat various disorders in poultry, particularly hens. Their use, however, may be connected with unsatisfactory residual levels food. Because the generally method for analyzing oxytetracycline residues expensive, unique preparation methods such as Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) approach have been developed. MIP one of most successful pre-analysis procedures extra...
