Proteome readjustments in the apoplastic space of Arabidopsis thaliana ggt1 mutant leaves exposed to UV-B radiation [PDF]
Ultraviolet-B radiation acts as an environmental stimulus, but in high doses it has detrimental effects on plant metabolism. Plasma membranes represent a major target for ROS generated by this harmful radiation.

Homology modeling and functional annotation of bubaline pregnancy associated glycoprotein 2
Background Pregnancy associated glycoproteins form a diverse family of glycoproteins that are variably expressed at different stages of gestation. They are probably involved in immunosuppression of the dam against the feto-maternal placentome.

Cathepsin B carboxydipeptidase specificity analysis using internally quenched fluorescent peptides [PDF]
We have examined in detail the specificity of the subsites S-1, S-2, S-1' and S-2' for the carboxydipeptidase activity of cathepsin B by synthesizing and assaying four series of internally quenched fluorescent peptides based on the sequence Dnp-GFRFW-OH,
