CASA: An Efficient Automated Assignment of Protein Mainchain NMR Data Using an Ordered Tree Search Algorithm
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-12)
Rapid analysis of protein structure, interaction, and dynamics requires fast and automated assignments of 3D protein backbone triple-resonance NMR spectra. We introduce a new depth-first ordered tree search method of ...
Low molecular weight protamine as an efficient and nontoxic gene carrier: in vitro study
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-08)
Background The structural similarity between low molecular weight protamine (LMWP), prepared by enzymatic digestion of protamine, and HIV-TAT protein transduction peptide suggested the feasibility of LMWP as an efficient ...
Adenovirus binding to cultured synoviocytes triggers signaling through MAPK pathways and induces expression of cyclooxygenase-2
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-03)
Background Recombinant adenovirus can be administered in vivo to achieve transduction of a number of cell types including human synoviocytes. Immunogenicity of adenoviruses has limited their utility as vectors for gene ...
A Comparative Study of Human Muscle and Brain Creatine Kinases Expressed in Escherichia coli
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
We report the expression of the human muscle (CK-MM) and brain (CK-BB) creatine kinases in Escherichia coli . The proteins have been purified to apparent homogeneity and several of their physical and kinetic properties ...
Restituting intestinal epithelial cells exhibit increased transducibility by adenoviral vectors
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-12)
Background and aims While mature enterocytes are resistant to transduction by adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vectors, undifferentiated cells are transduced much more efficiently. Our purpose was to study enterocyte transduction ...
Estradiol attenuates the K + -induced increase in extracellular GABA in rat striatum
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-02)
Estradiol acts rapidly and directly to inhibit L-type Ca 2+ current in medium spiny neurons from striatum. Since medium spiny neurons contain Γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), we hypothesized that estradiol inhibition of Ca 2+ ...
Lipopolysaccharide recognition protein, MD-2, facilitates cellular uptake of E. coli -derived plasmid DNA in synovium
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-07)
Background Several cell types are susceptible to transfection in vivo using naked plasmid DNA. The mechanisms involved in mediating in vivo transfection are incompletely known, but evidence suggests that receptor-mediated ...
