GUINEA PIG APOLIPOPROTEIN C-II: EXPRESSION IN E. COLI, FUNCTIONAL STUDIES OF RECOMBINANT WILD-TYPE AND MUTATED VARIANTS, AND DISTRIBUTION ON PLASMA LIPOPROTEINS

Guinea pig apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) lacks four amino acid residues in the amino-terminal, lipid-binding part compared to apoC-II from other mammalian species (Andersson et al.1991.J.Biol.Chem.266: 4074-4080).To explore whether this structural difference explains the low ability of guinea pig plasma to activate lipoprotein lipase in vitro, we h

Tropical Sunglasses cyclone (TC) genesis prediction is a major scientific challenge to the TC operation and research community.This report surveys the current status of TC genesis forecasts by a number of major operational centers covering the key ocean basins across both hemispheres.Since IWTC-9, we see an emergence of probabilistic TC genesis for

Devil firefish Pterois miles is an invasive alien species which has severely impacted biodiversity and ecological Built-In Microwave processes in invaded areas of the Mediterranean.In recent years, its presence has been documented in several countries of the Adriatic Sea.Based on the negative ecological and socio-economic impacts in other areas of

The capability to present electronic media that can preserve information Wellingtons is highly restricted to few decades (e.g., a lifetime of DVD media does not exceed 100 years), and therefore the question of how to preserve documents for more than thousands or millions of years presents a challenging task.In this article, we discuss three thinkab

A British university is proposing to introduce two new postgraduate certificate qualifications in Digital Curation and Digital Sustainability.The proposed courses are intended to formalise this knowledge into a curriculum that enables professional practitioners working in related areas to develop their knowledge of how to manage digital assets Rang
