Functional analysis of DM64, an antimyotoxic protein with immunoglobulin-like structure from Didelphis marsupialis serum
(2002-12-11)Bothrops snake venoms are known to induce local tissue damage such as hemorrhage and myonecrosis. The opossum Didelphis marsupialis is resistant to these snake venoms and has natural venom inhibitors in its plasma. The aim ... -
Functional and Structural Characterization of ClC-1 and Nav1.4 Channels Resulting from CLCN1 and SCN4A Mutations Identified Alone and Coexisting in Myotonic Patients.
(2021)Non-dystrophic myotonias have been linked to loss-of-function mutations in the ClC-1 chloride channel or gain-of-function mutations in the Nav1.4 sodium channel. Here, we describe a family with members diagnosed with ... -
Functional, proteomic and transcriptomic characterization of the venom from Micrurus browni browni: identification of the first lethal multimeric neurotoxin in coral snake venom
(2020)Proteomic characterization of Micrurus browni browni venom showed approximately 41 components belonging to 9 protein families, mainly phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) and three-finger toxins (3FTxs). Venom gland transcriptome ... -

Fungal contamination of stored automobile-fuels in a tropical environment
(2010-10)Because of the lack of reports, the base levels of microbial contamination on stored fuels are unknown in tropical regions and it is unclear whether these levels have some influence on fuel quality parameters. Therefore, ... -
Fungal-Mediated Degradation of Emerging Pollutants in Sewage Sludge
(2012-01-01)This chapter summarizes the novel approaches employed for the removal of emerging pollutants from sludge by means of fungal processes. The first part of the chapter introduces the potential application of fungi in ... -
Fungicidal activity of a phospholipase A2-derived synthetic peptide variant against Candida albicans
(2007-09)pEM-2, a 13-mer synthetic peptide variant derived from myotoxin II, a phospholipase A2 homologue present in Bothrops asper snake venom, has shown potent bactericidal activity in previous studies due to the combination of ... -
