(1984)A study was conducted to determine the optimum protein to energy ratio for red crawfish (Procambarus clarkii). Six experimental diets were formulated which contained 20, 30, or 40% protein and 2500 or 3500 kcal/kg gross ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)In this post-genomic era, researchers are striving to find new ways to use the enormous amounts of data that have been collected. One obvious way is with proteomics, the large-scale identification of expressed proteins. ...
-
Antibiotic resistance is a prominent food safety concern. Antibiotics given to food animals may promote the development of antibiotic resistance within the present bacterial populations, which then poses a threat to both ...

Purification and Characterization of a Palmityl-CoA Thioesterase from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides (1982)A palmityl-CoA thioesterase from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides has been purified 625-fold. The enzyme was homogenous as judged by both a constant ratio of thioesterase activity to absorbing material at 280 nm in fractions ...
-
(1993)A conserved histidine residue at position 331 of rat tyrosine hydroxylase was changed to glutamine by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme, TOH-H331Q, was expressed in E. coli with a pET3b-based vector. The level ...
