Auranofin Inhibits the Enzyme Activity of Pasteurella multocida Toxin PMT in Human Cells and Protects Cells from Intoxication

The AB-type protein toxin from Pasteurella multocida (PMT) contains a functionally important disulfide bond within its catalytic domain, which must be cleaved in the host cell cytosol to render the catalytic domain of PMT into its active conformation.Here, we found that the reductive potential of the cytosol of target cells, and more specifically,

Potential of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for Efficient Classification Based on Postharvest Storage Time, Cultivar and Maturity in Coconut Water

Coconut water (CW) is a popular and healthful beverage, and ensuring its quality is crucial for consumer satisfaction.This study aimed to explore the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and chemometric methods for analyzing CW quality and distinguishing samples based on postharvest storage time, cultivar, and maturity.CW from nuts of Wen

The January 2006 low ozone event over the UK

In this paper we present a case study of a record low ozone event observed over the UK in January 2006.We focus on the dynamical processes that cause this event.This is done by examining the observations, meteorological analyses and back trajectories calculated by the NAME III atmospheric dispersion model.We show that this model, hitherto only used
