Relationship of the PDI Employment Inventory Scales to Criminal Behaviors
This study investigated the relationship of the Personnel Decisions International Employment Inventory scales to criminal behavior by using 796 offenders with criminal records in the Texas Department of Corrections and a random sample of 893 non-offender job applicants. The hypothesis that …

Disulfide Bond Formation: Identifying Roles of PDI Family Thiol Oxidoreductases and ER Oxidant Pathways
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze the oxidation and isomerization of disulfide bonds in proteins passing through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although as many as 20 enzymes are classified as PDI family members, their relative contributions to protein folding have remained an open …

The role of BIP and PDI in the secretion of foreign proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
As a single-celled microbial eucaryotic host for protein expression, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae offers some of the advantages of bacterial systems, such as ease of fermentation, and of eucaryotic systems, such as post-translational modifications of secreted proteins. One disadvantage, …

Analysing the role of Protein Disulphide Isomerase in Plasmodium and targeting function to block transmission
Protein Disulphide Isomerase (PDI)-Trans has been identified as a putative target for transmission blocking interventions in Plasmodium spp. Located on the surface of the male gamete and ookinete, previous studies have demonstrated that this protein is essential for successful malaria transmission. …

Characterization and utilization of extruded-expelled soybean flours
… a wide range of protein dispersibility indexes (PDI), and residual oil (RO) levels as well as EE soy flours originating from various value-enhanced soybean varieties were investigated for their functional properties and utilization potential in food systems. Functional properties investigated …

Caratterizzazione dimensionale e morfologica di nanoparticelle lipidiche contenenti molecole farmacologicamente attive
… and 37°C, and to obtain the polydispersity index(PDI) and superficial charge (ZP). Results showed that NC are positively charged (ca. 45.7 mV) and sized averagely 185-230 nm at 25°C. Their PDI range is 0.145-0.198. In contrast, NE are negatively charged (ca. -58.5 mV) and sized averagely 142-153 …

Network morphologies in monodisperse and polydisperse multiblock terpolymers.
… in “monodisperse” (polydispersity index (PDI) < ~1.1 in all blocks) poly(isoprene-bstyrene- b-ethylene oxide) (ISO) triblock terpolymers. This work extends the investigation of multiply continuous network structures to two other classes of multiblock terpolymers: i) “monodisperse” OSISO …

Thermo-Reversible Gelation Of Rod-Coil and Coil-Rod-Coil Molecules Based on Perylene Diimides
… of covalently attached perylene diimide (PDI) polymers during their self-assembly. With the gelators used, chain entanglement and network formation trap the solvent causing gelation. Hence, forces such as hydrogen bonding are not a requirement. We first describe the thermo-reversible …

The role of ERO1 in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum
… from Ero1p to the abundant ER oxidoreductase PDI (protein disulfide isomerase) and its homolog Mpd2p. PDI is oxidized in wild-type cells, but reduced in the ero 1-1 mutant. Thiol-disulfide exchange between POI and Ero1p is indicated by the capture of PD1-Ero1p mixed-disulfides. PDI oxidizes …
