The development of early terrestrial ecosystems
(Edinburgh University Press, 1993)In this review of terrestrialization by plants and animals in the early Phanerozoic, the classical idea of a major mid-Palaeozoic event is discarded in favour of gradual colonization over a long time period. Four phases ... -
Millipedes from the Grès à Voltzia, Triassic of France, with comments on Mesozoic millipedes (Diplopoda: Helminthomorpha: Eugnatha)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2009)Hannibaliulus wilsonae, n. gen., n. sp. is described from a series of ten specimens from the early Triassic Grès à Voltzia Lagerstätte of north-east France. ! e best specimens (holotype and paratype) show a probably equal ... -
A spider and other arachnids from the Devonian of New York, and reinterpretations of Devonian Araneae
(The Palaeontological Association, 1991-06)The oldest known spider, from the Devonian (Givelian) of Gilboa. New York, is Atlercopus fimbriunguis (Shear. Sclden and Rolfc). parts of which were originally described as a trigonotarbid. possibly of the genus Gelasinotarbus. ... -
Tracking a medically important spider: climate change, ecological niche modeling, and the brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa)
(Public Lbrary of Science, 2011-03)Most spiders use venom to paralyze their prey and are commonly feared for their potential to cause injury to humans. In North America, one species in particular, Loxosceles reclusa (brown recluse spider, Sicariidae), causes ... -

Ocular and Systemic Safety Evaluation of Calcium Formate as a Dietary Supplement
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2009-05-20)Purpose: The objective of this study was to perform a preliminary evaluation of the ocular and systemic safety of calcium formate, a dietary calcium supplement for prevention and management of osteoporosis. Although formate ... -

Cobalt complexes: correlation of redox potential with effectivity as oxygenation catalysts
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 1974)The redox potential of a series of cobalt(II) chelates correlates with their properties as either oxygen carriers or phosphine oxidation catalysts. -
Metal-Catalyzed Hydration of 2-Pyridyloxirane
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 1975)In the presence of CuII the hydration of 2-pyridyloxiran is accelerated 18,000-fold, and its reaction with Cl–, Br–, and MeO– becomes 100% regiospecific for β-attack. -
Roles of key active-site residues in flavocytochrome P450 BM3
(Portland Press, 1999)The effects of mutation of key active-site residues (Arg-47, Tyr-51, Phe-42 and Phe-87) in Bacillus megaterium flavocytochrome P450 BM3 were investigated. Kinetic studies on the oxidation of laurate and arachidonate showed ... -
Structural analysis of metalloform-selective inhibition of methionine aminopeptidase
(International Union of Crystallography, 2006-04)One of the challenges in the development of methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) inhibitors as antibacterial and anticancer agents is to define the metal ion actually used by MetAP in vivo and to discover MetAP inhibitors ... -
The reactive metabolite target protein database (TPDB) – a web-accessible resource
(BioMed Central, 2007-03-16)Background The toxic effects of many simple organic compounds stem from their biotransformation to chemically reactive metabolites which bind covalently to cellular proteins. To understand the mechanisms of cytotoxic ... -
Bioinformatic analysis of xenobiotic reactive metabolite target proteins and their interacting partners
(BioMed Central, 2009-06-12)Background Protein covalent binding by reactive metabolites of drugs, chemicals and natural products can lead to acute cytotoxicity. Recent rapid progress in reactive metabolite target protein identification has shown ... -

(Mary Ann Leibert, 1995)The effects of a novel, modified β-cyclodextrin (SBE4-β-CD; a variably substituted sulfobutyl ether with an average degree of substitution of four) on eye irritation and miotic response of an ophthalmically applied pilocarpine ... -
Prodrugs: Do They Have Advantages in Clinical Practice?
(Adis Press Limited, 1985-05)Prodrugs are pharmacologically inactive chemical derivatives of a drug molecule that require a transformation within the body in order to release the active drug. They are designed to overcome pharmaceutical and/or ... -
