Effect of PstS sub-units or PknD deficiency on the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
starvation, the PstS3 or PknD deficient strains died if exposed to Pi poor conditions while the PstS1 and PstS2 KO survived and still grew faster than the Wt strain. These results suggest that PstS1-3 may play ...
Estimation of the dissociation rate of unlabelled ligand-receptor complexes by a 'two-step' competition binding approach.
class of sites, the unlabelled ligand’s dissociation rate can be estimated from the upward shift that the competition curve experiences after washing. KEY RESULTS: The relevance of the ‘two-step ...
