(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-02-25)
Brazil is a major exporter of oranges in the world, with the state of São Paulo, the largest citrus producer in the country. In the last years plants of the genus citrus have been strongly affected by various diseases and ...
Produção recombinante e caracterização de duas cistatinas de cana-de-açúcar
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-09-05)
Cystatins are reversible inhibitors of cysteine peptidases. The cystatins found in plants are called phytocystatins, and represent an independent subfamily of the cystatins superfamily. Some studies have reported significant ...
Estudo funcional comparativo das co-chaperonas moleculares p23A e p23B da Hsp90 de Leishmania braziliensis
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-06-03)
Protein folding is essential for proteins proper biological function. Failures in this process can lead to the formation of poorly unfolded proteins and/or protein aggregates. In order to avoid this problem, the cells ...
