Global effects of homocysteine on transcription in escherichia coli: induction of the gene for the major cold-shock protein, cspa
(Microbiology Society, 2006-08-01)Homocysteine (Hey) is a thiol-containing amino acid that is considered to be medically important because it is linked to the development of several life-threatening diseases in humans, including cardiovascular disease and ... -
Homocysteine toxicity in escherichia coli is caused by a perturbation of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-06-20)In Escherichia coli the sulfur-containing amino acid homocysteine (Hcy) is the last intermediate on the methionine hiosynthetic pathway. Supplementation of a glucose-based minimal medium with Hcy at concentrations greater ... -
Improved detection of domoic acid using covalently immobilised antibody fragments
(MDPI AG, 2013-03-14)Antibody molecules, and antibody fragments in particular, have enormous potential in the development of biosensors for marine monitoring. Conventional immobilisation approaches used in immunoassays typically yield unstable ... -
N-acetylcysteine protects striated muscle in a model of compartment syndrome
(Springer Nature, 2010-03-23)Background To avoid ischemic necrosis, compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency treated with decompression once identified. A potentially lethal, oxidant-driven reperfusion injury occurs after decompression. N-acetylcysteine ...
