We are developing quantitative assays to repeatedly and noninvasively image expression
of reporter genes in living animals, using positron emission tomography (PET). We …

l-Asparaginyl and l-aspartyl residues in proteins are subject to spontaneous degradation
reactions that generate isomerized and racemized aspartyl derivatives. Proteins containing l-…

We are developing procedures to repeatedly and noninvasively ¡ magethe expression of
transplanted reporter genes in living ani mals and in patients, using PET. We have …

A vital step in transgenic animal study and gene therapy is the ability to assay the extent of
transgene expression. Unfortunately, classic methods of assaying transgene expression …

The ability to monitor reporter gene expression in living animals and in patients will permit
longitudinal examinations both of somatically transferred DNA in experimental animals and …

Rapid communication RELATIVISTIC CORRECTIONS TO REPORTED SULFUR 1s
IONIZATION ENERGIES Sodhi and Cave11 [l] have recently report Page 1 Journal of …

We examined the effect of early exercise training (Ex) on glucose kinetics, basal, and insulin-stimulated
skeletal muscle (SKM) plasma membrane (PM) GLUT4 in pre- and/or postnatal …

We report the construction of a plasmid (pDM2x) containing the coding sequence of the more
acidic isozyme II of the human protein-L-isoaspartate (D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase (…

The enzyme l-isoaspartyl methyltransferase initiates the repair of damaged proteins by
recognizing and methylating isomerized and racemized aspartyl residues in aging proteins. The …

We have isolated two cDNA clones that correspond to the mRNAs for two isozymes of the
human l-isoaspartyl/d-aspartyl protein carboxyl methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.77). The DNA …
