Novel anti-CB1 monoclonal antibodies, including an N-terminal binding antibody, were characterized and validated. These antibodies were then used to investigate the role [...]

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an essential role in signal transduction by transmitting extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses through activation of [...]

Structural biology is ultimately the study of particular domains and residues, but this knowledge most interesting and useful in the con-text of physiological processes. [...]

Germin, a protein found in germinating wheat, has been identified as an oxalate oxidase (oxalate: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.3.4) catalyzing the conversion of oxalate [...]

The pancreatic β-cell is responsible for producing and secreting insulin, a critical hormone which keeps blood glucose within a narrow physiological ran [...]

Lignin peroxidase (Lip) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) are the major components of the lignin degradation system in the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Ex [...]

Lignin is a cell wall polymer that provides rigidity, cell adhesion, andmicrobial resistance to vascular plants. A sort of natural plastic, lignin contains more [...]

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CPAI mRNA 5'-leader contains an evolutionarily conserved 25-codon upstream open reading frame (uORF), which genetic studies had suggested to [...]

Transport of long-chain fatty acids from the cytosol to the mitochondria1 matrix for P-oxidation involves the conversion of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA to acylcamitines in [...]

The marine environment is a rich source for chemical and biological diversity. Many marine animals are closely associated with symbiotic bacteria. Marine ani [...]
