Solvent Accessibility Promotes Rotamer Errors during Protein Modeling with Major Side-Chain Prediction Programs
(American Chemical Society, 2023)
Side-chain rotamer prediction is one of the most critical late stages in protein 3D structure building. Highly advanced and specialized algorithms (e.g., FASPR, RASP, SCWRL4, and SCWRL4v) optimize this process by use of ...
Ergosterol and polyphenol contents as rapid indicators of orchardgrass silage safety
(Elsevier Science Ltd., 2023)
The ergosterol (ERG) has been proposed as a potential indicator of fungal contamination, along with polyphenol content analysis to predict silage safety. Despite efforts in controlling fungal growth in silage, mycotoxin ...
Evaluation of semen parameters from Fleckvieh-Simmental bulls and the influence of age and season of collection
(Archiv für Tierzucht, 2023)
The aim of this paper was to evaluate semen parameters from Czech Fleckvieh (dual-purpose breed) bulls used in artificial insemination in the Fleckvieh population. The ejaculate was collected from bulls only once a week, ...
Artificial habitat - a chance for survival of a rare montane dragonfly (Odonata): case study on an alpine emerald (Somatochlora alpestris)
(Springer Netherlands, 2023)
The mountain ecosystems of Central Europe are an important natural phenomenon. The character of small isolated islands also predetermines their vulnerability. Typical inhabitant of subalpine and alpine peat bogs, tiny ...
Bioindication of Environmental Conditions Using Solar Park Vegetation
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
Solar parks are currently considered a new source of carbon-free energy. At the same time, they encroach on our landscape and create new conditions for flora and fauna. Vegetation responds to changes in living conditions. ...
Age Estimation of Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f. on Socotra Island: A Direct Method to Determine Its Lifespan
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
Background: Dracaena cinnabari is a monocot species that does not form annual tree rings; thus, its age can only be estimated. This species is threatened by low natural regeneration, with an evident absence of younger ...
Comparative Study of the Phenology of Seven Native Deciduous Tree Species in Two Different Mesoclimatic Areas in the Carpathian Basin
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
The impact of global warming on plant phenology is the subject of a growing number of studies. However, most of these do not focus on woody species, and few examine the entire annual phenological cycle of woody species. ...
Clinical and Laboratory Parameters of Carp Edema Virus Disease: A Case Report
(MDPI AG (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute-MDPI), 2023)
In the present study, we describe a natural outbreak of carp edema virus disease (CEVD) in koi carp, concentrating on clinical manifestation, gross and microscopic pathology, immunological parameters, viral diagnostics, ...
Nephrocalcinosis in farmed salmonids: diagnostic challenges associated with low performance and sporadic mortality
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023)
Disease conditions that involve multiple predisposing or contributing factors, or manifest as low performance and/or low-level mortality, can pose a diagnostic challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach. Reaching ...
Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak re-emergence regulation in East Africa: preparedness and vaccination perspective
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2023)
Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Taï Forest ebolavirus, and Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) are the most potentially life-threatening and grievous species reported among the Ebolavirus genus. Previously, the most ...
