Directed "in situ" inhibitor elongation as a strategy to structurally characterize the covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate of human pancreatic alpha-amylase.

15 Nov 2009 While covalent catalytic intermediates of retaining alpha-transglycosylases have been structurally characterized previously, no such information for a hydrolytic alpha-amylase has been obtained. This study presents a new "in situ" enzymatic ... Read more...

Temperature dependence of cerebral blood flow for isolated regions of the brain during selective cerebral perfusion in pigs.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) are utilized for cerebral protection during aortic surgery. However, no consensus exists regarding optimal ASCP-temperature showing a tendency toward ... Read more...

Saddle shape of the mitral annulus reduces systolic strains on the P2 segment of the posterior mitral leaflet.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional saddle shape of the mitral annulus is well characterized in animals and humans, but the impact of annular nonplanarity on valve function or mechanics is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the impact ... Read more...
