GUINEA PIG APOLIPOPROTEIN C-II: EXPRESSION IN E. COLI, FUNCTIONAL STUDIES OF RECOMBINANT WILD-TYPE AND MUTATED VARIANTS, AND DISTRIBUTION ON PLASMA LIPOPROTEINS

Guinea pig apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) lacks four amino acid residues in the amino-terminal, lipid-binding part compared to apoC-II from other mammalian species (Andersson et al.1991.J.Biol.Chem.266: 4074-4080).To explore whether this structural difference explains the low ability of guinea pig plasma to activate lipoprotein lipase in vitro, we h

Structured open-cell foam reactors are promising for managing highly exothermic reactions such as CO2 methanation due to their excellent heat transport properties.Especially at low flow rates and under dynamic operation, foam-based reactors can be advantageous over classic fixed-bed reactors.To efficiently design the catalyst carriers, a thorough u

Caturids are among the best-known predatory ray-finned fishes of the Mesozoic.Although there is consensus about their sister-group relationship to Amiidae (Holostei, Amiiformes), their diversity, ingroup phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history are still very poorly understood.Caturidae is currently restricted to Caturus and Amblysemius,

Conventional robotic wire arc additive manufacturing technologies enable the rapid production of moderate-sized components using low-cost wire feedstocks and robotic welding systems.Efforts to date have primarily focused on single voopoo v.thru pro replacement pods robot solutions.However, new configurations are possible with coordination of multip
