Properties of Cathepsin L in relation to a role in invasive cancer.
(1998)
Cathepsin L, which has been implicated in many tissue degradative pathologies by virtue of its ability to degrade extracellular matrix components, was isolated by a novel, scaled-up protein purification method and purified ...
Molecular analysis of a Listeria monocytogenes strain that is resistant to leucocin A.
(2000)
Leucocin A is a class 11a bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides TA33a that was
previously shown to inhibit Listeria monocytogenes. A spontaneous resistant mutant of
L. monocytogenes was isolated, and found ...
Some aspects of development and cell wall properties of the desiccation-sensitive embryos of Encephalartos natalensis (Zamiaceae)
(2013)
The present investigation can be divided into two main sections: the first dealing with the
post-shedding embryogenesis of Encephalartos natalensis and the second concerned with the
cell wall properties of immature and ...
