Engineering orthogonal dual transcription factors for multi-input synthetic promoters [PDF]
, 2016 Synthetic biology has seen an explosive growth in the capability of engineering artificial gene circuits from transcription factors (TFs), particularly in bacteria. However, most artificial networks still employ the same core set of TFs (for example LacI,

Accumulation of 5-hydroxynorvaline in maize (Zea mays) leaves is induced by insect feeding and abiotic stress. [PDF]
, 2014 Plants produce a wide variety of defensive metabolites to protect themselves against herbivores and pathogens. Non-protein amino acids, which are present in many plant species, can have a defensive function through their mis-incorporation during protein ...

Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2015 Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is human lactonase orginally described as enzyme that is capable of hydrolyzing organophosphates. The hypothesis suggested that this enzyme may also participate in attenuation of bacterial virulence through interfering with quorum sensing (QS). Recently, PON1 was shown to hydrolyze over 30 lactones. In the present study, human PON1

The role of antifungals agents on Candida glabrata biofilms matrix composition [PDF]
, 2010 Candida glabrata was considered, for years, a relatively non-pathogenic saprophyte of the normal flora of healthy individuals and as no causative agent of serious infection in humans.
