Enhancing spinal cord repair with connexin43 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides
Spinal cord injury is comprised of the initial injury and the secondary effects including injury spread, swelling, inflammation, and scarring. Connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions and hemichannels contribute significantly to spinal cord injury by remaining open in dying cells, spreading toxic substances …

Mutagenesis and Spectroscopic Studies on Cytochrome Bd Quinol Oxidase of Escherichia Coli
Site-directed mutagenesis studies on the highly conserved residues of cytochrome bd quinol oxidase from Escherichia coli were carried out to investigate their roles in maintaining structure and function of this enzyme. Mutations on two highly conserved residues in subunit I---Glu445 and Arg391 were …
