4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide mediated inhibition of Microperoxidase-11: catalytic inhibition by reactive metabolites.
DownloadFall 2011
Currently, there is lack of clinical therapeutics for inhibiting myeloperoxidase mediated pathogenesis. We used 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (4-ABAH), the most potent irreversible inhibitor of myeloperoxidase and microperoxidase-11 to obtain mechanistic insight on the role of reactive...

50,000 years of paleoenvironmental change recorded in meteoric waters and coeval paleoecological and cryostratigraphic indicators from the Klondike goldfields, Yukon, Canada
DownloadFall 2015
A 50,000 year record of meteoric water isotopes (δ2H/δ18O) and paleoenvironmental conditions is presented from syngenetic ice-rich permafrost and macrofossils from eight sites in the Klondike area of central Yukon. Four sedimentary units are recognized based on cryostratigraphy, paleoecological...
