ARTEMISININ RESISTANCE-ASSOCIATED MARKERS IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM PARASITES FROM THE CHINA-MYANMAR BORDER: PREDICTED STRUCTURAL STABILITY OF K13 PROPELLER VARIANTS DETECTED IN A LOW-PREVALENCE AREA.

Artemisinin resistance-associated markers in Plasmodium falciparum parasites from the China-Myanmar border: predicted structural stability of K13 propeller variants detected in a low-prevalence area.

BACKGROUND:Malaria reduction and future elimination in China is made more difficult by the importation of cases from neighboring endemic countries, particularly Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, and increased travel to Africa by Chinese nationals.The increasing prevalence of artemisinin resistant parasites across Southeast Asia highlights the importance

The structure of an LIM-only protein 4 (LMO4) and Deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor-1 (DEAF1) complex reveals a common mode of binding to LMO4.

LIM-domain only LIP SHIMMER PLUM protein 4 (LMO4) is a widely expressed protein with important roles in embryonic development and breast cancer.It has been reported to bind many partners, including the transcription factor Deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor-1 (DEAF1), with which LMO4 shares many biological parallels.We used yeast two-hybrid a

Tuning Barrier Properties of Low-Density Polyethylene: Impact of Amorphous Region Nanostructure on Gas Transmission Rate

This work focused on determining the factors that are of key importance in the oxygen barrier properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE).It has been shown that, depending Bilberry on the type and amount of the low-molecular-weight compound (tetracosane, paraffin wax, paraffin oil) introduced into the LDPE matrix, it can contribute to the improve
