Diversity and structural‐functional insights of alpha‐solenoid proteins

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Alpha‐solenoids are a significant and diverse subset of structured tandem repeat proteins (STRPs) that are important in various domains of life. This review examines their structural and functional diversity and highlights their role in critical cellular processes such as signaling, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation.

Species Distribution and Susceptibility to Azoles of Vaginal Yeasts Isolated Prostitutes

Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2007, Issue 1, 2007., 2007
Objective. We investigated the use of miconazole among female prostitutes in Costa Rica as well as the distribution of vaginal yeasts and the susceptibility pattern to azoles of strains obtained from this population. Our intention was to relate a frequent use of miconazole to occurrence of vaginal yeasts resistant to azoles. Methods.
