Diacylglycerols are minor constituents of membrane lipids, yet are essential in the activation and membrane association of protein kinase C. Solid-state 13C NMR experiments have been used to characterize the orientation of the glycerol backbone of dipalmitoylglycerol (DPG) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine

The characterization of immunological cascades of the innate immune system activated by invariant molecular structures termed as pathogen-associated molecular patterns recognized by pattern recognition receptors of macrophages and dendritic cells, have allowed the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the immunomodulatory

A detailed examination of the mode of binding of phorbol esters to protein kinase C led to a model of the phorbol binding site in the enzyme. The efficacy with which various synthetic diacylglycerol analogs and ribonolactones are able to

An important application of liquid cell Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is the study of enzyme structure and behaviour in organized molecular media that mimic in-vivo systems. In this study we demonstrate the use of AFM as a tool to study
The dynamics of prolactin release from human decidual explants were studied under basal conditions, in response to decidual prolactin-releasing factor (PRL-RF), and in response to PRL-RF in the presence of decidual prolactin release-inhibitory factor (PRL-IF) or other factors known to
