THE COUPSTU AND TARPQM TRANSPORTERS IN RHODOPSEUDOMONAS PALUSTRIS: REDUNDANT, PROMISCUOUS UPTAKE SYSTEMS FOR LIGNIN-DERIVED AROMATIC SUBSTRATES.

The CouPSTU and TarPQM transporters in Rhodopseudomonas palustris: redundant, promiscuous uptake systems for lignin-derived aromatic substrates.

The biodegradation of lignin, one of the most abundant carbon compounds on Earth, has important biotechnological applications in the derivation of useful products from lignocellulosic wastes.The purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris is able to grow photoheterotrophically under anaerobic conditions on a range of phenylpropeneoid

CABYR isoforms expressed in late steps of spermiogenesis bind with AKAPs and ropporin in mouse sperm fibrous sheath

Abstract Background CABYR is a polymorphic calcium-binding protein of the sperm fibrous sheath (FS) which gene contains two coding regions (CR-A and CR-B) and is tyrosine as well as serine/threonine phosphorylated during in vitro sperm capacitation.Thus far, the detailed information on CABYR protein expression in mouse spermatogenesis is lacking.Mo

Force Trends and Pulsatility for Catheter Contact Identification in Intracardiac Electrograms during Arrhythmia Ablation

The intracardiac electrical activation maps are commonly used as a guide in the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias.The use of catheters with force sensors has been proposed in order to know if the electrode is in contact with the tissue during the registration of intracardiac electrograms (EGM).Although threshold criteria on force signals are often us
