In an effort to answer a long‐standing question on how hormonal interactions in the honey bee larvae can sustain the parasite Varroa destructor reproduction, the current study focused on differential expression analysis of the genes involved in the Juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroid associated pathways. All the results were discussed considering the

Rates of Spontaneous Cleavage of Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, and Trehalose in Water, and the Catalytic Proficiencies of Invertase and Trehalas [PDF]
Most of the early experimental work on enzyme kinetics was based on the properties of yeast invertase (-fructo-furanosidase, EC 3.2.1.26), whose robust activity1 (together with the availability of a continuous polarimetric assay) enabled Michaelis and ...

Phosphatases in the soil environment [PDF]
Enzymes play a key role in nutrient cycling in the soil environment. In this work, four phosphatases of the soil environment were investigated. A study of the effect of metal ions and metal ion concentrations on inorganic pyrophosphatase activity in ...

Discovering structural motifs using a structural alphabet: Application to magnesium-binding sites [PDF]
BACKGROUND: For many metalloproteins, sequence motifs characteristic of metal-binding sites have not been found or are so short that they would not be expected to be metal-specific.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography after precapillary enzyme assay for the determination of phosphatase activity in semiarid soil [PDF]
Inorganic phosphorous (P) is an essential plant nutrient that must be added to most soils to maintain plant growth and sustain crop yields. Phosphatase enzymes play a major role in the processes of mineralization of organic P substrates.

Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluoroalkyl substances in food
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific evaluation on the risks to human health related to the presence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in food. Based on several similar effects in animals, toxicokinetics and observed concentrations in human blood, the CONTAM Panel decided to perform the assessment for the sum of four PFASs ...

Deep electromagnetic stimulation (DEMS) and low‐frequency ultrasound (US) are new physical therapy methods used in the rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system and wound healing. They are applied locally to treat the injured tissues. The beneficial effects of these methods in supportive care have been documented, but accurate biochemical effects ...
