CHARACTERIZATION OF SNP1, A CELL WALL-DEGRADING TRYPSIN, PRODUCED DURING INFECTION BY STAGONOSPORA NODORUM


A novel human tectonin protein with multivalent beta-propeller folds interacts with ficolin and binds bacterial LPS.

BACKGROUND: Although the human genome database has been completed a decade ago, approximately 50% of the proteome remains hypothetical as their functions are unknown.The elucidation of the read more functions of these hypothetical proteins can lead to additional protein pathways and revelation of new cascades.However, many of these inferences are l

Pathological and Parasitological Findings in Serbian Great Cormorants Infected by Contracoecum rudolphii Sensu Lato

The carcasses of ten great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) found in one colony in the province of Vojvodina were necropsied and examined for g5210t-p90 parasites.The study aimed to identify helminths and histopathologically evaluate the associated tissue damage.Numerous nematodes were observed, either free in the the lumen of the ventriculus or de
