Time-resolved and static NMR characterization of the structure and folding kinetics of the Diels-Alder ribozyme

open access: yes, 2009
Despite the well-known importance of ribonucleic acids (RNA) in cell biology, it is astounding to realize the pace at which new fundamental functions of RNAs have been discovered.

Improved Procedure for the Measurement of Telomere Length in Whole Cells by PNA Probe and Flow Cytometry

open access: yes, 2010
OBJECTIVES: Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes hybridize to denatured telomeric sequences in cells permeabilized in hot formamide. In reported protocols, the hybridization was conducted in solutions with high formamide concentrations to avoid the DNA ...

Bacteria in heavy metal contaminated soil: diversity, tolerance and use in remediation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The objectives of this project were to determine the bacterial diversity in a heavily contaminated metal region of Portugal. Both traditional and molecular based methods were used to identify tolerant strains and species. The most tolerant species were

Atypical one-carbon metabolism of an acetogenic and hydrogenogenic Moorella thermoacetica strain

open access: yes, 2009
A thermophilic spore-forming bacterium (strain AMP) was isolated from a thermophilic methanogenic bioreactor that was fed with cobalt-deprived synthetic medium containing methanol as substrate.

Pseudonocardia hispaniensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from industrial wastewater activated sludge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A novel actinomycete, designated PA3T, was isolated from an oil refinery wastewater treatment plant, located in Palos de la frontera, Huelva, Spain, and characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA

Tropomyosins, N-terminal acetylation and their impact on yeast cytoskeletal function: A characterisation of novel tropomyosins from N. crassa and the N-terminal acetyltransferase, Nat3p

open access: yes, 2009
PhDWhile the fundamental role of tropomyosins (Tms) in the maintenance of the actin cytoskeleton in yeast is established, details of their exact regulatory functions in lower eukaryotes remains to be deciphered.

Population structure and species description of aquatic Sphingomonadaceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Prokaryotes consist of the domains of Bacteria and Archaea and exist since approximately 3.8 billion years. Prokaryotes, despite the small size of the individual cells, are regarded to represent the 'unseen majority' among the living world as they occur ...

Molecular and biochemical characterization of subtilisin-like proteases in arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Subtilisin-like proteases form a large group of serine proteases with diverse functions, including the specific processing of a variety of proproteins and prohormones, and are found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The work in this thesis focuses

Feasibility of microfluidic routes to monitor protein stability as a tool for bioprocessing

open access: yes, 2010
During the bioprocessing of therapeutics, proteins may become damaged leading to modifications and changes in stability. This may, as a consequence, cause serious and potentially fatal side effects when administered to patients making damage ...
