Transcriptomic prey‐capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants
Summary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

Effect of ELF e.m. fields on metalloprotein redox-active sites
The peculiarity of the distribution and geometry of metallic ions in enzymes pushed us to set the hypothesis that metallic ions in active-site act like tiny antennas able to pick up very feeble e.m. signals.

EPR of Co(II) as a Structural and Mechanistic Probe of Metalloprotein Active Sites: A Review of Studies on Aminopeptidase [PDF]
Co(II) can often be substituted for Zn(II) in zinc-dependent metalloenzymes to provide spectroscopically accessible forms of the enzymes. Co(II) is an excellent spectroscopic probe as it is both optically active and EPR active.
