    Skeletal muscle metabolomics and blood biochemistry analysis reveal metabolic changes associated with dietary amino acid supplementation in dairy calves

    The effects of different amino acid (AA) supplementations of milk protein-based milk replacers in pre-ruminant calves from 3 days to 7 weeks of age were studied. Animals were divided into 4 groups: Ctrl) Contr...

    The hepatic and skeletal muscle ovine metabolomes as affected by weight loss: a study in three sheep breeds using NMR-metabolomics

    Sheep are a valuable resource for meat and wool production. During the dry summer, pastures are scarce and animals face Seasonal Weight Loss (SWL), which decreases production yields. The study of breeds tolera...

    13C–13C NOESY spectra of a 480 kDa protein: solution NMR of ferritin

    Molecular size has limited solution NMR analyses of proteins. We report 13C–13C NOESY experiments on a 480 kDa protein, the multi-subunit ferritin nanocage with gated pores. By exploiting 13C-resonance-specific c...

    Peptidic models for the binding of Pb(II), Bi(III) and Cd(II) to mononuclear thiolate binding sites

    Herein, we evaluate the binding of Pb(II) and Bi(III) to cysteine-substituted versions of the TRI peptides [AcG-(LKALEEK)4G-NH2] which have previously been shown to bind Hg(II) and Cd(II) in unusual geometries as...
