Probing the Electrostatic and Steric Requirements for Substrate Binding in Human Platelet-Type 12-Lipoxygenase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Human platelet ALOX12 (hALOX12 or h12-LOX) has been implicated in a variety of human diseases. The present study investigates the active site of hALOX12 to more thoroughly understand how it positions the substrate and achieves nearly perfect regio- and ...

Identifying Ligand Binding Conformations of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor by Using Its Agonists as Computational Probes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recently available G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) structures and biophysical studies suggest that the difference between the effects of various agonists and antagonists cannot be explained by single structures alone, but rather that the conformational

Formation and structure of the ferryl [Fe=O] in-termediate in the non-haem iron halogenase SyrB2: classical and QM/MM modelling agree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To rationalise mechanistically the intriguing regio- and chemoselectivity patterns for different substrates of the non-haem iron/2-oxoglutarate dependent halogenase SyrB2, it is crucial to elucidate the structure of the pivotal [FeIV[double bond, length ...

Harmonization of welfare standards for the protection of pigs with the EU-rules: the case of Croatia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Three quarters of Croatian pigs are produced in small production units (1-5 sows) and on family farms with mixed farming activities. Only few farms have specialized production units with up-to-date technologies and comply with EU standards.

Comparison of neural histomorphology in tail tips from pigs docked using clippers or cautery iron

open access: yesAnimal, 2017
Tail docking of pigs is commonly performed to reduce the incidence of unwanted tail-biting behaviour. Two docking methods are commonly used: blunt trauma cutting (i.e. using side clippers), or cutting and concurrent cauterisation using a hot cautery iron.

Prime movers : mechanochemistry of mitotic kinesins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force-generating teams.

Structural Mechanism for the Specific Assembly and Activation of the Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase 5 (ERK5) Module [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation.

Which is the most preventive measure against tail damage in finisher pigs: tail docking, straw provision or lowered stocking density?

open access: yesAnimal, 2018
One challenge of intensive pig production is tail damage caused by tail biting, and farmers often decrease the prevalence of tail damage through tail docking.

Effect of previous handling experiences on responses of dairy calves to routine husbandry procedures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The nature of human–animal interactions is an important factor contributing to animal welfare and productivity. Reducing stress during routine husbandry procedures is likely to improve animal welfare.
