Group II Intron Protein Localization and Insertion Sites Are Affected by Polyphosphate [PDF]

, 2008
Mobile group II introns consist of a catalytic intron RNA and an intron-encoded protein with reverse transcriptase activity, which act together in a ribonucleoprotein particle to promote DNA integration during intron mobility.

Polyphosphate [PDF]

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2014
Polyphosphate (polyP) is an inorganic polymer that has recently been shown to be secreted by activated platelets. It is a potent modulator of the blood clotting and complement systems in hemostasis, thrombosis, and inflammation.This review focuses on what is currently known about which blood cells secrete polyP, and the roles that polyP plays in ...

A novel mammalian glucokinase exhibiting exclusive inorganic polyphosphate dependence in the cell nucleus

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
Background: Hexokinase and glucokinase enzymes are ubiquitously expressed and use ATP and ADP as substrates in mammalian systems and a variety of polyphosphate substrates and/or ATP in some eukaryotic and microbial systems.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...
