Crystal structure of an antifungal osmotin-like protein from Calotropis procera...
Ramos, Márcio Viana; Oliveira, Raquel S. B. de; Pereira, Humberto M.; Moreno, Frederico B. M. B.; Lobo, Marina D. P.; Rebelo, Luciana MagalhãesCpOsm is an antifungal osmotin/thaumatin-like protein purified from the latex of Calotropis procera. The protein is relatively thermostable and retains its antifungal activity over a wide pH range; therefore, it may be useful in the development of new antifungal drugs or transgenic crops with enhanced resistance to phytopathogenic fungi. To gain further insight into the mechanism of action of CpOsm, its three-d...
When age matters: boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy have growth delay and a...
Cunha, Thais Alves; Grilo, Evellyn Câmara; Costa, Ádila Danielly de Souza; Vermeulen-Serpa, Karina Marques; Leite-Lais, LúciaAnthropometry and body composition evaluation in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are challenging, but crucial methods to evaluate the nutritional status, and better anthropometric reference values and body composition predictive equations are needed for this population. Based on these aspects, this study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that changes in anthropometric parameters and body compositi...
