Journal ArticleDOI
Bilirubin is an antioxidant of possible physiological importance
TL;DR: The data support the idea of a "beneficial" role for bilirubin as a physiological, chain-breaking antioxidant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution and future of earth's nitrogen cycle
TL;DR: Humans must modify their behavior or risk causing irreversible changes to life on Earth, as the damage done by humans to the nitrogen economy of the planet will persist for decades, possibly centuries, if active intervention and careful management strategies are not initiated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant activity of albumin-bound bilirubin.
TL;DR: Results show that 1 mol of Alb-BR can scavenge 2 mol of peroxyl radicals and that small amounts of plasma bilirubin are sufficient to prevent oxidation of albumin-bound fatty acids as well as of the protein itself, indicating a role for Alb- BR as a physiological antioxidant in plasma and the extravascular space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable fluorescent complexes of double-stranded DNA with bis-intercalating asymmetric cyanine dyes: properties and applications

TL;DR: The synthesis, proof of structure, and the absorption and fluorescence properties of two new unsymmetrical cyanine dyes, thiazole orange dimer and oxazole yellow dimer are reported, which form highly fluorescent complexes with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with greater than 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement.

Detection of specific sequences in nucleic acids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for diagnosis of genetic abnormalities or other genetic conditions which can be readily automated and is used to determine the presence or absence of a target sequence in a sample of denatured nucleic acid.
