(Microbiology Society, 2009-06-25)Fungi are capable of degrading proteins in their environment by secreting peptidases. However, the link between extracellular digestion and intracellular proteolysis has scarcely been investigated. Mycelial lysates of the ... -
Characterization of a novel antimicrobial agent inspired by peroxidase-catalyzed systems
(2017-09-29)The phenomenon of antibiotic resistance is expanding and the threat regarding our future ability to combat infection is increasing. Thus, key challenges for society and for researchers are to address microbial drug resistance ... -
Characterization of a novel cell death-inducing protein complex assembled in response to stress
(NUI Galway, 2021-01-26)Pro-caspase-8 is the apical caspase in the extrinsic apoptosis which is initiated by the external stimulation of certain death receptors. Pro-caspase-8 is synthesised as an inactive zymogen, which must be cleaved to reach ... -
Characterization of a novel zebrafish model of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-14)Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a congenital heart disorder characterized by replacement of the ventricular myocardium with fibrofatty tissue. The majority of cases are due to mutations in genes ... -
Characterization of a recently evolved flavonol-phenylacyltransferase gene provides signatures of natural light selection in brassicaceae
(Springer Nature, 2016-08-22)Incidence of natural light stress renders it important to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from harmful effects of UV-B irradiation, as this is critical for fitness of land ... -
Characterization of a terbium activated gadolinium oxysulfide plastic optical fibre sensor in photons and protons
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-01-01)A characterization study was carried out to determine if a novel, millimeter sized Terbium-activated Gadolinium Oxysulfide optical fibre detector has potential for future use in proton dosimetry. Preliminary studies employed ... -
Characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator for multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(Optica, 2018-08-30)The characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) as a new axial scanning method for multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is described. MR-OCT is a compact optical imaging device based ... -
Characterization of an extendable multi-leaf collimator for clinical electron beams
(Institute of Physics, 2011)An extendable x-ray multi-leaf collimator (eMLC) is investigated for collimation of electron beams on a linear accelerator. The conventional method of collimation using an electron applicator is impractical for conformal, ... -
