The structures of the title compounds (2b and 3) have been investigated in the solid state by X-ray methods. The crystals of 2b are monoclinic, space group P2(1), and of 3 orthorhombic, space group P2...
Foreign bodies in the upper respiratory airways often lead to dramatic situations. In case of airway obstruction mortality rate is rather high. In this paper the penetration of a nail into the roof of...
Drosophila melanogaster infected with Mycobacterium marinum suffer metabolic wasting similar to that seen in humans suffering from tuberculosis. This wasting is linked to insulin signaling and hastens...
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is associated with increased circulating concentrations of adrenal androgens, whereas plasma concentrations of cortisol and ACTH are usually not affected. Here, we repo...
Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase B (beta-Hex B) (a homodimer, beta beta), caused by a defect in the HEX B gene encoding the beta-chain, is usually accompanied by an absence of be...
Four alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes with "atypical" pH optima for ethanol oxidation at 8.8 were isolated from Japanese livers with the homozygous ADH2 2-2 and the heterozygous ADH2 2-1 phenotypes. A...
We report on five hemoglobin (Hb) beta chain variants that were initially identified either by electrophoretic, chromatographic or isoelectric focusing (IEF) methods. These variants do not appear to b...
