- Bone cells, bone metabolism and cGMP.

- Bone induction by osteogenin and bone morphogenetic proteins. Bone induction is a multistep process that includes chemotaxis and attachment of mesenchymal stem cells, proliferation of progenitor cells and...

- Bone inductive potential and dose-dependent response of bovine bone morphogenetic protein combined with type IV collagen carrier. Using type IV collagen as carrier, the expression of bovine bone morphogenetic protein (bBMP) activity and the relation of ectopic bone formation to BMP...

- Bone-derived factors active on bone cells. Effects of systemic calcium regulating hormones have been studied extensively, yet mechanisms of bone volume regulation at the local level are poorly...

- Bovine skeletal growth factor stimulates protein phosphorylation of chicken bone cells in vitro. 1. Bovine skeletal growth factor (SGF), a potent bone cell mitogen, stimulated protein phosphorylation in cultured chicken calvarial cells. 2. SDS-PAGE...

- Bridging the gap between protein carboxyl methylation and phospholipid methylation to understand glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cell. Recent findings have implicated post-translational modifications at C-terminal cysteines [e.g., methylation] of specific proteins [e.g., G-proteins] in...

- Bright monomeric red fluorescent protein with an extended fluorescence lifetime. Fluorescent proteins have become extremely popular tools for in vivo imaging and especially for the study of localization, motility and interaction of...

- Calculation of dipole-shielding polarizabilities (sigma(alphabetagamma)I): the influence of uniform electric field effects on the shielding of backbone nuclei in proteins. A significant contribution to the chemical shielding of a nucleus can arise from uniform electric fields that act to distort the electronic charge...

- Can a physics-based, all-atom potential find a protein's native structure among misfolded structures? I. Large scale AMBER benchmarking. Recent work has shown that physics-based, all-atom energy functions (AMBER, CHARMM, OPLS-AA) and local minimization, when used in scoring, are able to...

- Can molecular dynamics simulations provide high-resolution refinement of protein structure? Recent advances in efficient and accurate treatment of solvent with the generalized Born approximation (GB) have made it possible to substantially refine the...

- Carbohydrate binding specificity of monoclonal antibodies raised against lactose-protein Maillard adducts. Three hybridoma antibodies (L101, L104, and L117) specific for lactose-protein amino carbonyl products (Maillard adducts) were obtained by immunizing mice...

- Carbohydrate content of fibroin and sericin of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

- Carboxypeptidase E in the mouse placenta. Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) has important functions in processing of endocrine pro-peptides, such as pro-insulin, pro-opiomelanocortin, or...

- Cardiac-specific overexpression of catalase prolongs lifespan and attenuates ageing-induced cardiomyocyte contractile dysfunction and protein damage. 1. Oxidative stress plays a role in senescence-associated organ deterioration. This is supported by the beneficial effects of anti-oxidants against...

- Catecholamine-stimulated protein phosphorylation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and adipocytes. The endogenous protein phosphorylation stimulated by catecholamines was compared in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and adipocytes. Phosphorylation of a protein with an...

- Cation-pi interactions involving aromatic amino acids. The cation-pi interaction is a general, strong, noncovalent binding force that is used throughout nature. The side chains of the aromatic amino acids...

- CEESY: characterizing the conformation of unobservable protein states. Protein conformations that are only marginally populated often play important roles as intermediate states in many processes such as ligand binding, enzyme...

- Cell-adhesive and blood-coagulant properties of ultrathin poly(methyl methacrylate) stereocomplex films. Isotactic (it) and syndiotactic (st) poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMAs) were assembled on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) cell disk (as a solid substrate),...

- Change in immunologic specificity of tissue proteins of white mice treated with penicillin.

- Changes in composition of cellular material during formation of phycobilin chromoproteids in a blue-green alga, Tolypothrix tenuis.
