Experimental and theoretical insights into the effects of pH on catalysis of bond-cleavage by the lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 from Phanerochaete chrysosporium by Le Thanh Mai Pham, Kai Deng, Trent R. Northen, Steven W. Singer, Paul D. Adams, Blake A. Simmons, Kenneth L. Sale

“…Abstract Background Lignin peroxidases catalyze a variety of reactions, resulting in cleavage of both β-O-4′ ether bonds and C–C bonds in lignin, both of which are essential for depolymerizing lignin into fragments amendable to biological or chemical upgrading to valuable products. Studies of the specificity of lignin peroxidases to catalyze these various reactions and the role reaction conditions such as pH play have been limited by the lack of assays that allow quantification of specific bond-breaking events. …”

Persistence Infection of TGEV Promotes <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> Infection on IPEC-J2 Cells by Zhenzhen Guo, Chenxin Zhang, Jiajun Dong, Yabin Wang, Hui Hu, Liying Chen

“…Spontaneously, the expression levels of fibronectin (FN) and the membrane protein integrin-α5, which are dominant bacterial receptors on IPEC-J2 cells, were upgraded. It indicated that the bacteria <i>E. faecalis</i> adhered to IPEC-J2 cells through the FN receptor, and then invaded the cells by binding with the integrin-α5, suggesting that both molecules were critical for the adhesion and invasion of <i>E. faecalis</i> to IPEC-J2 cells. …”

Muzikolog a estetik Jaroslav Volek dobově i aktuálně by Ivan Poledňák

“…Similarly as most his contemporaries in the Czech musicology and aesthetics, he passed through the influence of marxism, or let's say dialectical materialism, but also structuralism (the leading Czech aesthetician-structuralist Jan Mukařovský was among his teachers), and he upgraded his intellection with stimuli of the linguistics, cybernetics, theory of information and communication, but most of all of the semiotics. -- He himself became the most distinct personage of the Czech musical semiotics: he was, among other texts, author of the key chapter in the team publication Základy hudební sémiotiky (Fundaments of the musical semiotics, posth. 1992, see also the study in German: Musikstruktur als Zeichen und Musik als Zeichensystem, 1989). -- This study brings references to Volek's major scholarly outcome, as well as links to selected literature on Volek and a list of texts dedicated to him. …”
