    • Den Blaauwen, Tanneke; Andreu, José Manuel; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (Elsevier, 2014)
      Proteins involved in bacterial cell division often do not have a counterpart in eukaryotic cells and they are essential for the survival of the bacteria. The genetic accessibility of many bacterial species in combination with ...
    • Orlando, Julieta Laura; Alfaro, Marco; Bravo, Lorena; Guevara, Rafael; Carú Marambio, Margarita (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-04-08)
      The Atacama Desert, located in northern Chile, is one of the driest deserts on the Earth. However, in some years, short and sporadic rainfall in the southern end of this desert has increased the soil moisture that produces ...

      Bacteria of the genus Prosthecobacter express homologs of eukaryotic alpha- and beta-tubulin, called BtubA and BtubB (BtubA/B), that have been observed to assemble into filaments in the presence of GTP. BtubA/B polymers ...
    • Aguilar, Pablo; Dorador, Cristina; Vila Pinto, Irma; Sommaruga, Ruben (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      High-elevation lakes in the tropics are subject to extreme environmental fluctuations and microbes may harbor a unique genomic repertoire, but their composition and diversity are largely unknown. Here, we compared the ...
    • Labbé, Cecilia; Faini, Francesca; Coll, Joseph; Connolly, Joseph D. (Elsevier Ltd, 1996)
      Four new meroterpene derivatives have been isolated in a bioassay- guided study of the methanol extract of the leaves of Psoralea glandulosa, in addition to the known compounds bakuchiol and angelicin. Structures for the ...
    • Bozinovic, Francisco; Contreras, Luis C. (Springer-Verlag, 1990)
      We studied the energetics of two herbivorous desert rodents from South America. The two species had slightly lower basal metabolic rates, lower thermal conductances, and higher temperature differentials than those expected ...
    • Quirici, Verónica; Venegas, Cristóbal I.; González Gómez, Paulina L.; Castaño Villa, Gabriel J.; Wingfield, John C.; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo (Elsevier, 2014)
      Glucocorticoids are essential for life and their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA). The HPA axis is often divided into two components: baseline glucocorticoids levels and stress ...
    • López de Luzuriaga, José M.; Monge, Miguel; Olmos, M. Elena; Rodríguez Castillo, María; Laguna, Antonio; Mendizábal Emaldía, Fernando (2011)
      The interaction of bisperhalophenyl aurates [AuR2]- (R = C6F5, C6F3Cl2, and C6Cl5) with the closed-shell Ag+, Cu+, and Tl+ ions has been studied theoretically and compared with the experimentally known X-ray diffraction ...
    • Mendizábal Emaldía, Fernando; Olea Azar, Claudio (2002)
      To facilitate a rational basis set selection for B3LYP studies of organic reactions in the interstellar medium, we analyzed energetic parameters for the main stationary points in the reaction HN=CH2 + •C≡N → H2N-C(•)H-C≡N ...
    • Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Simón-Manso, Y. (Elsevier, 1999)
      In this work, the basis set superposition error (BSSE) has been analyzed for the systems Cu2, Cu3, Cu6 and Cu13 as prototypes of metallic clusters. Various basis sets have been tested. In addition, pseudopotentials of 1- ...
    • Moreno, Carlos A.; Osorio, Hector H. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1977)
      The dietary composition of the antarctic fish Notothenia gibberifrons Lönnberg in a depth gradient was studied, from sea level until 200 meters in South Bay, Doumer Island, West Antarctic. The diet of this species varied ...
    • Vargas, Julieta; Landaeta, Carlos A.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés (2002)
    • Lisbona, Fernanda; Rojas Rivera, Diego; Thielen, Peter; Zamorano, Sebastián; Todd, Derrick; Martinon, Fabio; Glavic Maurer, Álvaro; Kress, Christina; Lin, Jonathan H.; Walter, Peter; Reed, John C.; Glimcher, Laurie H.; Hetz Flores, Claudio (CELL PRESS, 2009-03-27)
      Adaptation to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress depends on the activation of an integrated signal transduction pathway known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily conserved ...
    • Davis, Sergio; Peralta, Joaquín; Navarrete, Yasmín; González, Diego; Gutiérrez Gallardo, Gonzalo (Springer, 2015)
      In this work we review the formalism used in describing the thermodynamics of first-order phase transitions from the point of view of maximum entropy inference. We present the concepts of transition temperature, latent ...
    • Consuelo Gamboa, Irma; Rios, Hernan; Barraza, Raul; Sanhueza, Patricia (1992)
      The solubility behavior in water of different salts of cetyltrimethyl ammonium (CTA+), such as iodide (CTAI), thiocyanate (CTASCN), and perchlorate (CTAClO4), is reported. The order of solubilities is CTASCN > CTAI > ...
