Within the framework of the physical forcing, we describe and quantify the key ecosystem
components and basic food web structure of the Barents Sea. Emphasis is given to the energy …

The Fram Strait is very important with regard to heat and mass exchange in the Arctic Ocean,
and the large quantities of heat carried north by the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) …

The Arctic is warming more rapidly than other region on the planet, and the northern Barents
Sea, including the Svalbard Archipelago, is experiencing the fastest temperature increases …

Microcin C is a ribosome-synthesized heptapeptide that contains a modified adenosine
monophosphate covalently attached to the C-terminal aspartate. Microcin C is a potent inhibitor …

A combined structural, functional, and genetic approach was used to investigate inhibition of
