Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Why do Irish pig farmers use medications? Barriers for effective reduction of antimicrobials in Irish pig production. [PDF]
, 2021 In addressing the threat of antimicrobial resistance, it is critical to understand the barriers to the uptake of strategies for the reduction of antimicrobial use (AMU) in the pig industry. In several EU countries, factors such as education level, habits

Mean and variation in back fat influence profit of pig production [PDF]
, 2012 Profit of pig production is influenced by several traits. Selection decisions should therefore be based on an economic index ($Index), which is the sum of estimated breeding values (EBVs) of individual traits multiplied by their economic value.
