Structure of Human C8 Protein Provides Mechanistic Insight into Membrane Pore Formation by Complement [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 C8 is one of five complement proteins that assemble on bacterial membranes to form the lethal pore-like "membrane attack complex" (MAC) of complement. The MAC consists of one C5b, C6, C7, and C8 and 12-18 molecules of C9. C8 is composed of three genetically distinct subunits, C8α, C8β, and C8γ.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodegradable and low‐irritant amino acid–based surfactants have attracted considerable attention as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum‐derived surfactants. In this study, a series of acyl amino acid surfactants with identical amino acid head groups but different alkyl chain lengths were synthesized via a modified ...

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neolithic long barrows are among the earliest monumental structures in Europe, yet in many parts of Central Europe their surface expression has been largely erased by long‐term agricultural activity. This study evaluates the potential of integrated remote sensing approaches for identifying and contextualizing long barrows and associated ...
