For example, the solvent stability of H. lacusprofundi β-galactosidase can be utilized for synthesis of oligosaccharides in a similar manner to past studies, but with the added benefit of cold activity and halophilicity.
To evaluate differences in flexibility, widely considered important for cold activity, between putative alkane hydroxylases from psychrophiles and mesophiles on a by-position basis, we aligned the flexibility parameters for all proteins in each cluster according to a multiple sequence alignment generated in Clustal Omega v2 [ 30] using in-house scripts (align_params.py, align_params.r).r
The prospect of countless icy-cold activities topped with piping-hot alcohol warmed the cockles of my Celtic heart.
Interestingly, studies have shown that exposure of humans and rodents to cold activates thermogenic activity in brown adipose tissue (BAT) [ 10, 28].
At each determined time point (3, 6, 16, 24, 48, 56 h), the cells were washed as described for U937, and lysed with ice-cold activity buffer.
By contrast, the subjects with an absence of cold-activated BAT activity on their PET/CT scan displayed no change or a fall in neck temperature under cold conditions.
That the C.I.A. has been so unwilling to release more information about its cold war activities is shameful.
The Games here will be the 19th Winter Olympics, a festival of sometimes odd but largely historical and practical cold weather activities, sports and disciplines.
137Cs was dispersed globally by cold war activities and, more recently, by the Chernobyl accident.
A brisk run, skiing, iceskating, snowboarding, hiking, and sledding are just a few cold weather activities that will warm you up in no time.
If the weather is cold, these activities can be replaced with a tub.
