Allelic frequency of PAR-2 in the Puerto Rican population a possible insight to asthma prevalence.
(University of Puerto Rico at Ponce, 2007)
The Human Genome Project has sequenced the genetic complement of our species: the DNA. Such sequencing was performed using DNA randomly collected from individuals of diverse ethnicity backgrounds. This aleatory selection ...
The Effect of the Light Environment on Population Size of the Epiphytic Herb, Lepanthes Rupestris (Orchidaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2007-03)
The demographic dynamics of plant populations will depend on the relative role of density-dependent versus density-independent factors on population regulation. Density-independent factors (i.e. changes in climate, fire, ...
The social course of drug injection and sexual activity among YMSM and other high-risk youth: An agenda for future fesearch
(Springer, 2003)
The cumulative epidemiologic literature indicates that many injecting drug users (IDUs) initiate injection as a mode of drug administration during late adolescence or early adulthood. Recent studies have shown that IDUs ...
Qualitative Methodology in Counseling Research: Recent Contributions and Challenges for a New Century.
(2006)
For the past 10 years, qualitative research methodology has become more visible in counseling studies. Results from a content analysis of articles published between 1997 and 2002 in 4 professional journals in the field ...
Aromaticity at the water-hydrocarbon core interface of the membrane: Consequences on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
(Channels (Austin), 2008)
Almost all lipid-exposed transmembrane domains of integral proteins contain aromatic residues
flanking the hydrophobic segment of the domains. These residues generally reside close to the
carbonyl region of the membrane, ...
Tryptophan Scanning Mutagenesis of the γM4 Transmembrane Domain of the Acetylcholine Receptor from Torpedo californica
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004-10)
The periodicity of structural and functional effects induced by tryptophan scanning mutagenesis has been
successfully used to define function and secondary structure of various transmembrane domains of the acetylcholine ...
Triiodothyronine (T3) action on aquatic locomotor behavior during metamorphosis of the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana
(The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2009)
Thyroid hormones - particularly triiodothyronine, T3 - play a critical role in the morphological
transformations comprising metamorphosis in larval bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana). Traditional
staging criteria for anuran ...
Biophysical and ion channel functional characterization of the Torpedo californica nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in varying detergent-lipid environments
(The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2008-05)
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) of Torpedo electric rays has been extensively
characterized over the last three decades. However, the molecular mechanisms by which detergents
influence membrane protein ...
GRACE (Gender, Race And Clinical Experience): 48-week results of darunavir/r-based therapy in the largest trial in north america to focus on treatment-experienced women
(2009-07-19)
Women account for an increasing proportion of patients living with HIV/AIDS in the United States (US) yet data on the efficacy and safety of antiretrovirals (ARVs) in women are limited.
– Several challenges, including ...
Aromaticity at the Water-Hydrocarbon Core Interface of the Membrane: Consequences on the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-05-02)
Almost all lipid-exposed transmembrane domains of integral proteins contain aromatic residues flanking the hydrophobic segment of the domains. These residues generally reside close to the carbonyl region of the membrane, ...
