This paper describes two synthetic lipid models designed to replace human stratum corneum (SC) in studies of the impact of volatile organic chemicals on the molecular organization of the skin barrier lipids. The models built upon previously developed self-assembled lipid

Whole-cell biocatalysis to oxidize naphthalene to 1-naphthol in liquid-liquid biphasic systems was performed. Escherichia coli expressing TOM-Green, a variant of toluene ortho-monooxygenase (TOM), was used for this oxidation. Three different solvents, dodecane, dioctyl phthalate, and lauryl acetate, were screened for

The bumblebee Bombus (Psithyrus) norvegicus Sp.-Schn. is an obligate social parasite of B. (Pyrobombus) hypnorum L. Behavioural observations indicated that nest-invading B. norvegicus females may use allomones to defend themselves against attacking host workers. However, so far no defensive chemicals
We have recently identified farnesol, an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, as a potent endogenous modulator and blocker of N-type calcium channels (Roullet, J. B., R. L. Spaetgens, T. Burlingame, and G. W. Zamponi. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274:25439-25446). Here

Alginate-gelatin beads with dispersed droplets of a model pheromone, dodecyl acetate, were prepared as a vehicle for slow release of pheromones into the atmosphere over a prolonged period of time. The beads are prepared in two steps, the first being
