Recent findings indicate a significant association between sedentary (SED)-time and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). The aim of this study was to investigate whether different levels of SED-time could impact on biochemical and physiological processes occurring in sedentary and physically inactive

One of the objectives of this study was to develop a method for the reversible arrest of HeLa cells in G2 phase by using p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA), an analog of phenylalanine. Addition of 0.5 mM of FPA to synchronized HeLa cells

The iron-containing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the hydroxylation of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine. A series of 4-X-substituted (X = H, F, Br, Cl, CH3, or CH3O) phenylalanines have been characterized as substrates to gain insight into the mechanism of hydroxylation. Multiple

Studies of gene function and molecular mechanisms in Plasmodium falciparum are hampered by difficulties in characterizing and measuring phenotypic differences between individual parasites. We screened seven parasite lines for differences in responses to 1,279 bioactive chemicals. Hundreds of compounds were
