Fine mapping and cloning of the major seed protein quantitative trait loci on soybean chromosome 20
SUMMARY Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a unique crop species because it has high levels of both protein and oil in its seed. Of the many quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling soybean seed protein content, alleles of the cqSeed protein‐003 QTL on chromosome 20 exert the greatest additive effect. The high‐protein allele exists in both cultivated

Onset and duration of action of lokivetmab in a canine model of IL‐31 induced pruritus
Onset of antipruritic action of lokivetmab in dogs. Laboratory‐bred beagle dogs were dosed subcutaneously with either placebo or lokivetmab at 2.0 mg/kg on Day (D) 0. Approximately 2.5 h post‐dosing, pruritus was induced using canine interleukin (IL)‐31. Animals were observed for pruritic behaviours for a total of 2 h (3–5 h post‐treatment with placebo

Amino acid chalcogen analogues as tools in peptide and protein research
Although the chemistry of the chalcogen members oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and the metalloid tellurium are closely intertwined, the respective physicochemical aspects differ significantly imparting specific properties to the chalcogen‐containing side chains of proteinogenic and synthetic amino acids.
