The structures and environments of the protein-bound peridinins (Pers) and chlorophylls (Chls) a/c2 in the membrane-intrinsic major light-harvesting complex of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae (LHCAmph) are characterised using resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy with 11 excitation wavelengths, at 77K. The excitation-dependent

Protein complexes represent major functional units for the execution of biological processes. Systematic affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry (AP-MS) yielded a wealth of information on the compendium of protein complexes expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, global AP-MS analysis of

From a previously validated paediatric population pharmacokinetic model, it was derived that non-linear morphine maintenance doses of 5 μg/kg(1.5)/h, with a 50 % dose reduction in neonates with a postnatal age (PNA) <10 days, yield similar morphine and metabolite concentrations

The neuropathological substrate of dementia in patients with Parkinson's disease is still under debate, particularly in patients with insufficient alternate neuropathology for other degenerative dementias. In patients with pure Lewy body Parkinson's disease, previous post-mortem studies have shown that dopaminergic
