TL;DR: The results suggest that H(2)O(2), implicated as a second messenger of hormone-stimulated metabolic changes in some animal cells, also plays an important role in inducing subsequent defense responses such as phytoalexin production.

TL;DR: The results confirm previously published observations for IgG1 that two analogous solvent‐exposed methionine residues in IgG2, Met 252 and Met 428, oxidize more readily than the other methions, and shows that Protein A may serve as a convenient and inexpensive surrogate for FcRn binding measurements.

TL;DR: All 20 coded P1 variants of one such inhibitor, turkey ovomucoid third domain, are obtained by recombinant DNA technology and the Pearson pro duct moment correlations for all the 15 enzyme pairs were calculated, suggesting that these may serve as a quantitative description of the specificity of the enzymes at P1.

TL;DR: An additivity-based sequence to reactivity algorithm for the interaction of members of the Kazal family of protein inhibitors with six selected serine proteinases is described and is exceptionally fast so that all possible sequences can be predicted.

TL;DR: It is reported here a novel finding that norvaline can be incorporated in place of leucine in recombinant human hemoglobin expressed in Escherichia coli, and it appears that substitution is distributed across both the β- and di-α-globins in purified recombinant hemoglobin.
