Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in dihydropteroate synthase are responsible for sulfone and sulfonamide resistance in Plasmodium falciparum

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the amino acid differences in the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) enzyme of sulfadoxine-resistant isolates of P. falciparum are central to resistance to sulfones and sulfonamides.
Journal ArticleDOI

How insulin engages its primary binding site on the insulin receptor

TL;DR: The first view, to the authors' knowledge, of the interaction of insulin with its primary binding site on the insulin receptor is presented, on the basis of four crystal structures of insulin bound to truncated insulin receptor constructs, providing an explanation for a wealth of biochemical data from the insulin receptors and IGF1R systems relevant to the design of therapeutic insulin analogues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and expression of cytochrome p450 genes controlling flower colour

TL;DR: Restriction-fragment length polymorphism mapping and complementation of mutant petunia lines showed that the flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase genes correspond to the genetic loci Hfl and Hf2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thyroxine transport in choroid plexus.

TL;DR: A model is proposed for Thyroxine transport from the bloodstream into cerebrospinal fluid based on partitioning of thyroxine between choroid plexus and surrounding fluids and binding of thyoxine to transthyretin newly synthesized and secreted by choroids plexi.
