Cystatin C, a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases such as papain and cathepsin B, was examined for its effect on human coronaviruses OC43 and 229e. Both viruses were greater than 99% inhibited by 0.1 mM inhibitor. Endpoint titrations showed that inhibiting activity paralleled that of leupeptin, a serine and cysteine protease inhibitor, and indicated that 1 to 2 microM inhibitor, slightly above
In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources, and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved arc
An electron transfer mediator, 8-dimethylamino-2,3-benzophenoxazine (Meldola Blue), dissolved in the carrier solution in a flow-injection system, was found to reduce the oxidation potential for hydrogen peroxide from 600-1200 mV without mediator to - 100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl with the mediator present. The very low background current of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) at this potential makes it possibl
