Proposed nomenclature for human butyrylcholinesterase genetic variants identified by DNA sequencing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-02)
1. New information identifying nucleotide alterations of human butyrylcholinesterase allows the use of more specific nomenclature for the variants commonly known as atypical, fluoride, silent, and K variant.
The Stimulation of pp42mapkinase by Insulin Does Not Correlate with Its Metabolic Actions in Cells Overexpressing Mutant Insulin Receptors
(Elsevier, 1993-10-15)
Naturally occurring human insulin receptor mutants Ser1200 and Thr1134, and a site-directed mutant Arg1030 overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, bind insulin with affinities identical to wildtype receptors ...
Coming to terms with heritability
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-06)
The complex mechanisms of heredity are little appreciated by non-specialists, in some measure, because of misunderstandings that are perpetuated when words used for technical terms have other, more widely understood, folk ...
Identification of a new site of conformational heterogeneity in unfolded ribonuclease A
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1990-10)
The results presented here indicate that there are two slowly exchanging conformational isomers in unfolded bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) in the vicinity of Lys-41. The conformational heterogeneity is not ...
CFTR Does Not Alter Acidification of L Cell Endosomes
(Elsevier, 1994-11-30)
Endosomes from L cells, transduced with the CFTR gene, and the parental line, which does not express detectable levels of CFTR, were loaded with FITC-dextran, isolated and the initial rates of acidification, steady-state ...
Disparate gene expression of chemotactic cytokines by human mononuclear phagocytes
(Elsevier, 1990-01-30)
Chemotactic cytokines are becoming increasingly recognized as important participants in the coordinate recruitment of specific inflammatory cells. In this manuscript we present data demonstrating that LPS challenged human ...
Microclimatic changes and the indirect loss of ant diversity in a tropical agroecosystem
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-11)
Recent changes in the coffee agroecosystem of Costa Rica were used to study the mechanism of biodiversity loss in transforming agroecosystems, focusing on the ground-foraging ant community. Coffee farms are being transformed ...
