Cross-species characterisation of polymorphic microsatellite loci in the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Nineteen microsatellite loci developed for the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and 15 loci developed for the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) were tested for ease of amplification and degree of polymorphism on a set of 20 giant otter ...

With the Help of Giants [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 2003
A childhood fascination with animals, plants, and insects was aided and abetted by many giants, beginning with my parents. The Bronx High School of Science and the City College of New York (CCNY) made a solid and priceless grounding in chemistry and biology available free of charge.

Giant pandas in captivity undergo short-term adaptation in nerve-related pathways

open access: yesBMC Zoology
Background Behaviors in captive animals, including changes in appetite, activity level, and social interaction, are often seen as adaptive responses. However, these behaviors may become progressively maladaptive, leading to stress, anxiety, depression ...

Giant Magnons and Giant Gravitons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this thesis we shall present work concerning the description of the emergence of solitonic fundamental strings from stable, finite energy, compact D3-branes in a subspace of $AdS_{5}\times S^{5}$ and their subsequent interaction.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Molecular biology of giant viruses' DNA replication machinery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Viruses are the most widespread and abundant entity on this planet, further constituting the largest part of the genosphere. The majority of these infectious agents are miniature, having been described as being smaller than the smallest bacteria.

ESTIMATING CONTRIBUTION OF ZOOXANTHELLAE TO ANIMAL RESPIRATION (CZAR) AND TO ANIMAL GROWTH (CZAG) OF GIANT CLAM Tridacna maxima [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Zooxanthellae are symbiotic dinoflagellate algae which live in association with marine invertebrates including giant clams. These algae are capable of translocating part of their photosynthetic products to the host.

Dietary microbiota-mediated shifts in gut microbial ecology and pathogen interactions in giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

open access: yesCommunications Biology
The impact of dietary microorganisms on host microbiota is recognized, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the effects of bamboo surface microbiota, including virulence factors, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and mobile
