A novel chlorpyrifos hydrolase CPD from Paracoccus sp. TRP: molecular cloning, characterization and catalytic mechanism

Background: Biodegradation is a reliable approach for efficiently eliminating persistent pollutants such as chlorpyrifos. Despite many bacteria or fungi isolated from contaminated environment and capable of degrading chlorpyrifos, limited enzymes responsible for its degradation have been identified, let ...

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Kv1. 5 is upregulated in intrauterine growth retardation rats with exaggerated pulmonary hypertension

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (11), 2017
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is associated with the development of adult-onset diseases, including pulmonary hypertension. However, the underlying mechanism of the early nutritional insult that results in pulmonary vascular dysfunction later in life is not fully understood. Here, we investigate...
