Here we investigate the possible involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in the respiratory properties of intermyofibrillar and subsarcolemmal mitochondrial populations from heart and gastrocnemius muscles. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was assessed polarographically by using succina

BACKGROUND: Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat a variety of cancers. However, the occurrence of resistance limits its effectiveness. Cytochrome c in its reduced state is less capable of triggering the apoptotic cascade. Thus, we set up to study the relationship among redox state

The Journal of organic chemistry.J Org Chem.2012 Nov 2;77(21):9641-51. doi: 10.1021/jo301701a. Epub 2012 Oct 22.
Donor-σ-Acceptor (D-σ-A) molecules, arrayed in a monolayer between electrodes, can serve as molecular rectifiers. Using perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic bisimide (PBI) as the acceptor allows the attachment of the donor group to one imide nitrogen and a solubilizing swallowtail, normally a long (e
