The C-terminal region of a Lys49 myotoxin mediates Ca2þ influx in C2C12 myotubes
(2010-02)
Myotoxins are abundant components of snake venoms, being a significant public health problem worldwide. Among them, Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue myotoxins cause extensive necrosis in skeletal muscle tissue. Their ...
Comparison of Tree Species Sensitivity to High- and Low-Extreme Hydroclimatic Events
(2001-03)
We present here a six-species comparison of tree-ring growth response to
extremes (below the 30th and above the 70th percentile) in temperature, precipitation,
and corresponding streamflow. The species compared are Pinus ...
Occurrence of the tripodfish Bathypterois ventralis (Aulopiformes: Ipnopidae) in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(2015-05)
Between 1990 and 1992, 2 adult specimens of the ventrad spiderfish, Bathypterois ventralis Garman 1899, were collected at depths between 637 and 880 m off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. These specimens constitute the ...
p-Bromophenacyl bromide modification of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a lysine-49 phospholipase A2, affects its pharmacological activities
(1993-09)
Modification of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a lysine-49 phospholipase A2 variant, was carried out with p-bromophenacyl bromide. Modified toxin did not show changes in its charge and immunological properties but two of its ...
Origin of plagiogranites in oceanic complexes: A case study of the Nicoya and Santa Elena terranes, Costa Rica
(2016)
The origin of minor leucocratic intrusions known as “plagiogranites” in oceanic complexes dominated by basaltic compositions have been debated in the literature. Here we use well preserved plagiogranites within the contrasting ...
