Catalytic properties of recombinant dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli: a comparative study with angiotensin I-converting enzyme
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2009-09-01)Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli (EcDcp) is a zinc metallopeptidase with catalytic properties closely resembling those of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). However, EcDcp and ACE are classified in ...

Cladistic analysis and revision of the obstinata group, genus Chinavia Orian (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2012-08-22)The monophyletic genus Chinavia Orian includes 80 species of which 18 are endemic to Brazil. The general morphology of the species allows the recognition of different groups of species, however, the monophyly and the ...

Comparative analysis of genomic sequences suggests that Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener contains two sets of non-intercalated repeats of satellite DNA that correspond to T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II types
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-04-01)Approximately 10% of the Trypanosoma cruzi. genome is formed by a satellite DNA, composed by 195-bp repeats organized in 30 +/- 10 kb clusters in some, but not all chromosomes. Here, the satellite DNA of six representative ...

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli with uropathogenic characteristics are present in feces of diarrheic and healthy children
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) has been recently associated with urinary tract infections (UTI). Since EAEC are found in feces of both diarrheic and asymptomatic individuals, their presence in the intestine may ...

Evolutionary distances and identification of Candida species in clinical isolates by Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 1998-01-01)Fast and reliable identification of different species of the genus Candida is important to define adequate therapeutic decisions, because the different species have highly variable susceptibilities to antifungal drugs; ...

Identification, sequence analysis and phylogeny of the lef-2 gene of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid baculovirus
(Elsevier B.V., 1999-12-01)The baculovirus late expression factor 2 (LEF-2) is involved in DNA replication, and most likely function as a primase processivity factor. Lef-2 genes have been found in multinucleocapsid nucleopolyhedroviruses (MNPVs) ...

A morphological and molecular study of Psilops, a replacement name for the Brazilian microteiid lizard genus Psilophthalmus Rodrigues 1991 (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae), with the description of two new species
(Magnolia Press, 2017)The lizard genus Psilophthalmus was originally described from the sandy deposits at the northern end of Serra do Espinhaco, in Santo Inacio, state of Bahia, but since then it has been recorded in other Brazilian localities ...

The pattern of c-Fos expression and its refractory period in the brain of rats and monkeys
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-03-12)Intense activation of neurons triggers the appearance of immediate expression genes, including c-Fos. This gene is related to various signal cascades involved in biochemical processes such as neuronal plasticity, cell ...

A preponderantly 4-sulfated, 3-linked galactan from the green alga Codium isthmocladum
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2008-03-01)The green algae of the genus Codium have recently been demonstrated to be an important source of sulfated galactans from the marine environment. Here, a sulfated galactan was isolated from the species Codium isthmocladum ...
