1. The Mussel Adhesive Protein (Mefp-1) : A GREEN Corrosion Inhibitor
Abstract : Corrosion of metallic materials is a natural process, and our study shows that even in an alkaline environment severe corrosion may occur on a carbon steel surface. While corrosion cannot be stopped it can be retarded. READ MORE

2. Carbohydrate-Based Inhibitors of Pathogen Adhesion to Cell Surface Glycoconjugates
Abstract : The fact that a growing number of pathogens develop resistance against traditional treatment is a growing medical problem. Infections, which until now have been harmless, might turn into life threatening diseases. These problems have led to an intensified search for alternative treatments. Analogs of cell surface glycoconjugates are an alternative. READ MORE

3. A New Look into Protein C Inhibitor : Posttranslational Modifications and their Functions
Abstract : The influences of posttranslational modifications on the functions of the versatile serpin protein C inhibitor (PCI) were studied. PCI is a serine protease inhibitor that is expressed in many tissues and secreted to various fluids in human, including blood plasma, seminal plasma, and urine. READ MORE

4. Development of a Method to Measure Plasma Levels of Activated Protein C in Complex with Protein C Inhibitor
Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are conditions caused by thrombus formation with activation of the coagulation system. The plasma concentration of the complex between activated protein C (APC) and protein C inhibitor (PCI), APC–PCI complex is increased in such states. READ MORE

5. Anticoagulant protein C--structural and functional studies
Abstract : Anticoagulant protein C is a vitamin K-dependent factor circulating in plasma as a zymogen of a serine protease. It is converted to its active form (APC) by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex on the surface of endothelial cells. APC inhibits the generation of thrombin by selective proteolytic inactivation procoagulant factors Va and VIIIa. READ MORE
