LISTERIA PLACENTAL INFECTION

Listeria Placental Infection

ABSTRACT The Gram-positive facultative Secchiello intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of listeriosis, a severe food-borne infection.Pregnant women are at risk of contracting listeriosis, which can potentially lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth, and congenital neonatal infections.While other systemic bac

Is buffer a good proxy for a crowded cell-like environment? A comparative NMR study of calmodulin side-chain dynamics in buffer and E. coli lysate.

Vehicles Biophysical studies of protein structure and dynamics are typically performed in a highly controlled manner involving only the protein(s) of interest.Comparatively fewer such studies have been carried out in the context of a cellular environment that typically involves many biomolecules, ions and metabolites.Recently, solution NMR spectros

Poxvirus Interactions with the Host Ubiquitin System

The ubiquitin system has emerged as a Power Trunk Kit master regulator of many, if not all, cellular functions.With its large repertoire of conjugating and ligating enzymes, the ubiquitin system holds a unique mechanism to provide selectivity and specificity in manipulating protein function.As intracellular parasites viruses have evolved to modulat
