Phospholipases A(2) are components of Bothrops venoms responsible for disruption of cell membrane integrity via hydrolysis of its phospholipids. A class of PLA(2)-like proteins has been described which despite PLA(2) ...

Riboflavin, an essential cofactor for all organisms, is biosynthesized in plants, fungi and microorganisms. The penultimate step in the pathway is catalyzed by the enzyme lumazine synthase. One of the most distinctive ...

The distribution of the Quaternary deformation in the outer retro-wedge of the Andes (31°30′–35°S) is controlled by the subduction geometry, the position of the structural front, and the location of oblique pre-Cenozoic ...

Phospholipases A(2) are components of Bothrops venoms responsible for disruption of cell membrane integrity via hydrolysis of its phospholipids. A class of PLA(2)-like proteins has been described which despite PLA(2) ...

The piedmont of Cordillera Frontal between c. 33° and 34°S (Mendoza, Argentina) is a highly populated area deeply modified by human activities, known as Valle de Uco. It is situated within the borderland region of the ...

Marajo Island is located in a passive continental margin that evolved from rifting associated with the opening of the Equatorial South Atlantic Ocean in the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous period. This study, based on remote ...

The NNW-trending Las Peñas Thrust System is one of the key structures along the Andean orogenic front between 32°15′ and 32°40′S in the Southern Precordillera of Argentina. This east-verging structure crops out over a ...
