ABSTRACT Understanding intraspecific variation in drought tolerance is essential for predicting the adaptive capacity of forest species under climate change. Yet, the molecular basis of this variation remains poorly understood in ecologically and economically important conifers.

Anatomical basis for interactions of enkephalins with other transmitters in the CNS of a snail.
Immunocytochemical techniques for double staining were employed to investigate the morphological basis for interactions between enkephalins and other neuroactive compounds in the behavior of the gastropod mollusc Cepaea nemoralis.

Influence of Mutations of Conserved Arginines on Neuropeptide Binding in the DPP III Active Site
Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III), a zinc exopeptidase, is involved in the final steps of intercellular protein degradation and has a marked affinity for opioid peptides such as enkephalins and endomorphins.

A Comparative Study of MALDI MSI Versus DESI MSI Applied to Questioned Document Examination
ABSTRACT Rationale In forensic investigations, questioned document examination (QDE) provides critical information for document authentication and the detection of forgeries. Conventional QDE approaches often require separate analyses of inks and of any potential fingerprints.

Evidence against co-storage of enkephalins with noradrenaline in bovine adrenal medullary granules
Bovine adrenal chromaffin granules were purified and separated into adrenaline (A) and noradrenaline (NA) containing granule populations by a combination of differential and isopycnic gradient centrifugation.

A drug delivery strategy: binding enkephalin to asialoglycoprotein receptor by enzymatic galactosylation. [PDF]
Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can mediate cell specific delivery by targeting carbohydrate receptors. Additionally, glycosylation can improve the physico-chemical (drug-like) properties of peptide based drug candidates.

Objective Initially described in 1976, X‐linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative disease that can be characterized by the presentation of dystonia and parkinsonism symptoms. Although this disease bears some resemblance to other neurodegenerative diseases in terms of symptomatology, the pathological signature of XDP is still unclear ...

Selank effects on morphine-induced analgesia in vivo experiments
Background. The endogenous opioid system is involved in neuroadaptation produced by exogenous opioids. Synthesized on the basis of the regulatory peptide tuftsin, the anxiolytic selank inhibits the activity of enkephalin-degrading enzymes, increasing the

ABSTRACT Background and Aims In anesthesia and analgesia, opioids alone or in combination with local anesthetics (bupivacaine, lidocaine, and ropivacaine) have been investigated to prolong peripheral nerve blocks. Ultra‐low‐dose naloxone administration in local anesthetic solutions could lengthen sensory and motor blocks through enhanced opioid effects
