The architectural complexity of the human PDC core assembly
The mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a key multi-enzyme assembly linking the glycolytic pathway to the TCA cycle via the specific conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA and, as such, is responsible for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis in humans. PDC comprises a central …

An investigation into the characterisation of the spalling behaviour of Polycrystalline Diamond Compact(PDC) cutters under impact loading conditions
… mechanisms of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters and the effect of stress wave shape on the degree of spalling was performed using the split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus. The PDC cutters were loaded under specific impact conditions and their reactions monitored and …

Factors affecting the participation of physically disabled children and young people in out-of-school activities in Cheshire.
Physically disabled children and young people (PDC&YP) face many challenges when participating in out-of-school activities. PDC&YP should have the same choices and opportunities as other C&YP; to forge friendships locally and to access out-of-school activities (Knight et al., 2013). However PDC&YP …

Identification of pyruvate decarboxylase/indole pyruvate decarboxylase gene family members from Arabidopsis thaliana.
… enzymes, including pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), indole pyruvate decarboxylase (IPDC), and acetohydroxy acid synthase. PDC is a critical enzyme in plant metabolism that regulates energy production especially during periods of anaerobic stress. IPDC has long been proposed as a key enzyme in …

Studies on the Interaction between Porcine Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
… infection, the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (PDC), had been largely ignored. Conceivably, this dismissal was based on the fact that a subset of AM is the principal target cell of PRRSV and that these cells readily support its replication in vitro. Because of the exuberant ability of PDC to …

Development of Novel Peptide-Doxorubicin Conjugates for Targeting Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
… have synthesized three peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) to specifically target the TNBC cells. The first PDC contains peptide 18-4 with an additional cysteine in the N-terminal (NH2- CWxEAAYQrFL-CONH2) linked to aldoxorubicin (Aldox), a modified version of a common chemotherapy drug doxorubicin …
