Treatments that obdurate dentin tubules have been used for reducing dentin hypersensitivity. This study was to determine the effect of a treatment with a slurry of micron sized calcium phosphate on the hydraulic conductance (Lp) of etched dentin discs in
DNA has become a major target for clinical laboratory testing over the past 5 years, and RNA testing is emerging for infectious disease and gene expression (1). To normalize laboratory results across different technology platforms as well as between

Federal agencies, academia and industries have invested heavily in the development of structural and biothermodynamics data. However, the data are still largely distributed over several public and private archives leading to issues of inadequate
The Symposium on Metrology and Standards for Cell Signaling: Impact on Tissue Engineering, was held at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) on October 14-15, 2003. The purpose of the symposium, which was co-sponsored by NIST and ASTM

Over the past 10 years, DNA testing to identify disease associated mutations and specific organisms, which represent public health and safety concerns, have become major targets for laboratory testing. RNA testing is also emerging for gene expression, both

In this study, a simple and versatile method was developed to prepare the low grafting density initaitor gradient, which was combined with surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerizations (ATRP) to produce a well defined poly(2-hydroxyethyl

The typing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located throughout the mitochondrial genome (mtGenome) allows for differentiation between individulas possessing an identical HVa/HV2 sequence. A set of 11 SNPs selected for separating the most common
The generation of reactive oxygen species may be both beneficial to cells, performing a function in inter- and intra-cellular signaling, and detrimental, modifying cellular bimolecules, accumulation of which has been associated with numerous diseases. Of

The time course and thermodynamics of the lipase-catalyzed transesterification reaction (benzl alcohol + butyl acetate = benzyl acetate + 1-butanol) has been studied in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO 2), n-hexane, toluene, and neat media (no solvent
Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to plan and evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to the management of patients in whom disease has already

Allosteric and cooperative control signals were investigated in the tetrameric enzyme threonine deaminase. The tetramer consists of two dimers that associate at the x dyad. The structure pointed the way to use the Q175E mutation to create hybrid tetramers

Putidaredoxin (Pdx) is an 11,400 Da iron-sulfur protein that sequentially transfers two electrons to the cytochrome P450cam during the enzymatic cycle of the stereo specific camphor hydroxylation. We report two transitions in the Pdx UV-VIS absorption and
