We conducted a genetic association study of the biomarker in African American and European American subjects from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study using a chip containing…

The ST Pinch is a 12-membered hydrogen-bonded motif (Ser/Thr-Xaa-Ser/Thr) involving the side chain oxygen atoms of two Ser/Thr residues. We identified the ST Pinch in 104 proteins in a database…

The primary objective was to compare the evoked K-complex response to salient versus non-salient auditory stimuli in combat-exposed Vietnam veterans with and without post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

We use recently-developed Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) methodology to estimate the tissue magnetic susceptibility based on MRI signal phase.

The present study tested the hypothesis that the amplitude of K-complex related evoked potential components would increase with prolonged abstinence from alcohol.

We present a systematic structural optimization of uncharged but ionizable N-substituted 2-hydroxyiminoacetamido alkylamine reactivators of phosphylated human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) intended to catalyze the hydrolysis of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited hAChE in the CNS.

The present study seeks to resolve some of these issues in a combined cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of sleep EEG in adolescents.

Here we demonstrate biological activity for two peptides present within proNPQ/spexin. NPQ/spexin and NPQ 53–70 have differing renal and cardiovascular effects when administered intracerebroventricularly or intravenously into rats.

The introduction of forward genetics has provided novel means to gain a better understanding of gene functions and their associated phenotypes in Plasmodium.

On the basis of hemopressin’s potential in therapeutic applications and the lack of a structure–activity relationship study in literature, we aimed to determine the conformational features of hemopressin under physiological…

This chapter describes one of my laboratory’s working protocols for carbohydrate-based microarrays.

We have developed a semi-automated system for assaying lectin binding to large numbers of glycolipid complexes simultaneously.
