High protein flexibility and reduced hydration water dynamics are key pressure adaptive strategies in prokaryotes. [PDF]
Water and protein dynamics on a nanometer scale were measured by quasi-elastic neutron scattering in the piezophile archaeon Thermococcus barophilus and the closely related pressure-sensitive Thermococcus kodakarensis, at 0.1 and 40 MPa.

Zinc Status of Horses and Ponies: Relevance of Health, Horse Type, Sex, Age, and Test Material [PDF]
Little is known about the animal- and diet-related factors that could interfere with the plasma zinc (Zn) concentrations of equines. Additionally, the adequacy of plasma to reflect changes in the Zn intake is unclear. In the first part of this study, the
