TL;DR: The wheat-bran culture gave the richest gene expression profile of hydrolytic enzymes and the lowest expression levels of catabolic genes (EMP, TCA) among the three media tested, suggesting that A. oryzae uses both EMP and TCA for glucose metabolism under AC conditions.

TL;DR: It seems that XO regulates EDRF/NO via production of O2 - through inhibition of xanthine oxidase in vitro by three types of pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives.

TL;DR: It is found that human matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) may be processed from their proenzyme forms (proMMP) to their active forms by two new and unique mechanisms: Firstly, by bacterial proteases such as Pseudomonas elastase and Vibrio cholerae protease, and secondly, by free radical generation by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

TL;DR: Immunocytochemical analysis of cells transfected with NGEP cDNAs containing a Myc epitope tag at the carboxyl terminus shows that the protein encoded by the short transcript is localized in the cytoplasm, whereas the protein encode by the long transcript is present on the plasma membrane.
