Signal Recognition Particle 54 kD Protein (SRP54) from the Marine Sponge Geodia cydonium
2002
In the systematic search for phylogenetically conserved proteins in the simplest and most ancient extant metazoan phylum – Porifera, we have identified and analyzed a cDNA encoding the signal recognition particle 54 kD protein (SRP54) from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium (Demospongiae). The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a universally conserved ribonucleoprotein complex of a very ancient origin, comprising SRP RNA and several proteins (six in mammals). The nucleotide sequence of the sponge cDNA predicts a protein of 499 amino acid residues with a calculated Mr of 55175. G. cydonium SRP54 displays unusually high overall similarity (90 %) with human/mammalian SRP54 proteins, higher th…
Regulation of motility of cells from marine sponges by calcium ions
1996
Sponges are known not to contain muscle and nerve cells. Since sponge cells are characterized by high motility we determined the effect of intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) on their motility. Addition of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin to dissociated cells from the marine sponge Suberites domuncula caused in Ca(2+)-containing artificial seawater (ASW) an increase in motility from 0.2 micron/min (absence of the ionophore) to 3.7 microns/min (presence of ionomycin). When the experiments were performed in Ca(2+)-free medium, no effect of ionomycin could be observed. In parallel experiments the changes of [Ca2+]i using the dye Fura-2 were measured. The experiments revealed that ion…
Áreas protegidas e urbanização : o caso da APA da ilha do Combú, Belém-PA
2020
The paper seeks to answer two questions: what is the influence of the geographical location of the island of Combú in the metropolitan area of Belém, PA, and whether its current status as an Area of Environmental Protection (APA) has any impact on biodiversity and socioeconomic development? Similar to other riverside areas in the Amazon, Combú has a long history of involvement in the trade of extractive products. However, its geographical proximity to Belém and consequent access to markets made producers less dependent on intermediaries, while the ownership of resources was based on independent family units. Therefore, the dominant mode of caboclo extractivism, together with limited access …
Cadmium Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on Ditopic Triazamacrocyclic Linkers: Unusual Structural Features and Selective CO 2 Capture
2017
International audience; Two three-dimensional cadmium metal organic frameworks with general formula [Cd-2(L-1)(H2O)(3)](NO3)(0.7)(HCOO)(0.2)Br-0.1 (Cd2L1, L-1 = 1,4,7-tris(4-carboxybenzy1)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) and Cd(HL2)(H2O)(2) (CdL2, L-2 = 1,4,7-tris(3-(4-benzoate)prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,4,7-triazacydononane) based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane N-functionalized by different arylcarboxylic acids were prepared under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis and porosity measurements. The crystal structure of Cd2L1 reveals a cationic net with a bcs topology,. and nodes are constituted by dinuclear cadmium complexes, in which each cadmium atom adopts a hexacoordin…
Biodegradable Metal-Organic Framework-Based Microrobots (MOFBOTs).
2020
Microrobots and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising carriers for drug delivery applications. While clinical applications of microrobots are limited by their low drug loading efficiencies and the poor degradability of the materials used for their fabrication, MOFs lack motility and targeted drug delivery capabilities. The combination of these two fields marks the beginning of a new era; MOF‐based small‐scale robots (MOFBOTs) for biomedical applications. Yet, biodegradability is a major hurdle in the field of micro‐ and nanoswimmers including small‐scale robots. Here, a highly integrated MOFBOT that is able to realize magnetic locomotion, drug delivery, and selec…

Monte Karlo simulācijas tuvajā infrasarkanajā spektra diapazonā ādas mitruma novērtējumam
2015
Šajā darbā tika pētītas iespējas noteikt ādas mitrumu ar inversās Monte Karlo metodes palīdzību. Ūdens absorbcijas spektrs tuvajā infrasarkanajā spektra diapazonā (900 nm – 1700 nm) ir ar izteiktiem maksimumiem un minimumiem, tāpēc šis spektra diapazons varētu tikt izmantots ūdens tilpuma daļas novērtējumam ādā ar optiskām metodēm. Tika izveidoti trīs dažādi ādas modeļi, ar kuriem tika veiktas Monte Karlo simulācijas un pārbaudīta optisko parametru izmaiņu ietekme uz spektra intensitāti un formu. Simulētie spektri tika salīdzināti ar eksperimentāli iegūtajiem ādas difūzi atstarotās gaismas spektriem ar mērķi noteikt ādas mitrumu katrā eksperimenta gadījumā. Lai to panāktu, tika izveidota in…
Infrasarkanā spektroskopija un attēlošana ādas mitruma novērtējumam
2016
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt ūdens un eļļas optiskās īpašības tuvajā infrasarkanajā diapazonā, lai pārbaudītu šī spektra diapazona potenciālo pielietojumu ādas mitruma noteikšanai ar optiskām metodēm. Darbā pētītas iespējas novērtēt un attēlot ūdens un eļļas tilpuma daļu ādā, izmantojot tuvo infrasarkano spektra diapazonu. Tika izstrādāti dažādi eksperimentālie stendi gan atstarotā starojuma spektroskopijas, gan attēlošanas mērījumiem tuvajā infrasarkanajā diapazonā. Darba ietvaros tika veikti dažāda veida ūdens un eļļas paraugu mērījumi diapazonā no 900 līdz 2500 nm, ar mērķi ieviest vielas absorbcijas spēju raksturojošu parametru, ar kura palīdzību būtu iespējams novērtēt un aprakstīt nelielas…
