The electrocatalytic oxidation of captopril (CAP) was studied by modified carbon nanotubes paste electrode in the presence of isoproterenol (ISPT) using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k), and electron transfer coefficient (α) for CAP were calculated. The mechanism of CA electrochemical behavior at the mo...

1Introduction Let $\Gamma=(X, R)$ be a distance-regular graph (DRG) of diameter $\Gamma_{j}(u)=\{x\in X|\partial(u, x)=j\}$ and $\Gamma(u)=\Gamma_{1}(u)$. For two vertices $u$ and $v\in X$ with $\partial(u, v)=j$ let $C(u., v)$ $=$ $\Gamma_{j-1}(u)\cap\Gamma(v)$ , $A(u, v)$ $=$ $\Gamma_{j}(u)\cap\Gamma(v)$ , and $B(u, v)$ $=$ $\Gamma_{j+1}(u)\cap\Gamma(v)$ .

STUDY OBJECTIVE s: To develop and validate a patient-based outcome measure to evaluate symptoms in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). DESIGN A psychometric study within an international, prospective, randomized, double-blind study. The CAP-symptom questionnaire (CAP-Sym) is a new, 18-item, patient-reported outcome measure that evaluates the bothersomeness of CAP-related symptom...

Catalytic properties of the capped RNA-specific endonuclease associated with the influenza virus RNA polymerase were analyzed with use of synthetic hetero- and homopolymers containing 32P-labeled CAP structures at their 5' termini. The endonuclease displays its intrinsic activity provided that substrate RNA contains both the CAP-1 structure (m7GpppGm) and either A or U residues at 9 to 11 nucle...

Calponin is a thin-filament-associated protein that has been implicated in the regulation of smooth-muscle contractility. It binds to F-actin and inhibits the MgATPase activity of actomyosin. In the present work we have examined the effect of recombinant chicken gizzard alpha-calponin (R alpha CaP) on the binding of rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin subfragment 1 (S1) to F-actin and on the inhibiti...

We examine the long-term behavior of strong solutions for wave equation $ \varepsilon(t)u_{tt}-\Delta u_{t}-\Delta u+f(u) = g(x) and obtain time-dependent attractor in \mathcal{H}_{t}^{1} [H^{2}(\Omega)\cap H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)]\times H_{0}^{1}(\Omega) $. Moreover, is bounded H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)]\times[H^{2}(\Omega)\cap H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)]

Capsaicin (CAP) excites small sensory neurons, causing pain, neurogenic inflammation, and other visceral reflexes. These effects have been proposed to be the result of CAP activation of a nonselective cation current. It is generally assumed that CAP binds to an extracellular domain of the membrane receptor. However, the exact binding site is not known because of the lipophilic nature of CAP. To...

BACKGROUND Hospital mortality of patients admitted with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has been well described. However, the long-term survival of those discharged alive is less clear. We sought to determine long-term survival of patients hospitalized with CAP and compare the outcome with controls hospitalized for reasons other than CAP. METHODS We performed a matched case-control analysi...

Unlike other positive-stranded RNA viruses that use either a 5'-cap structure or an internal ribosome entry site to direct translation of their messenger RNA, calicivirus translation is dependent on the presence of a protein covalently linked to the 5' end of the viral genome (VPg). We have shown a direct interaction of the calicivirus VPg with the cap-binding protein eIF 4 E. This interaction ...
