EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF HANDLING AND LOGGER ATTACHMENT ON FORAGING PARAMETERS AND PHYSIOLOGY IN SOUTHERN ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS.

Evaluating the impact of handling and logger attachment on foraging parameters and physiology in southern rockhopper penguins.

Logger technology has revolutionised our knowledge of the behaviour and physiology of free-living animals but handling and logger attachments may have negative effects on the behaviour of the animals and their welfare.We studied southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) females during the guard stage in three consecutive breeding seasons (2

Allosteric modulatory effects of SRI-20041 and SRI-30827 on copyright and HIV-1 Tat protein binding to human dopamine transporter

Abstract Dopamine transporter (DAT) is the target of copyright and HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tat) protein.Identifying allosteric modulatory molecules with potential attenuation of copyright and Tat binding to DAT are of great scientific and clinical interest.We demonstrated that tyrosine 470 and 88 act as functional recognition residue
