The present article examined the advantages of 5.8-GHz microwaves versus the more commonly used 2.45-GHz microwaves using a modular non-commercial apparatus on the proteolysis of the Arg-Arg-Leu-Ile-Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Arg-Gly peptide at t...

Ovoviviparous fish, whose embryonic development and hatching take place in the maternal body, is one of the good model organisms for studying adaptive evolution. Using genome database of the ovoviviparous platy Xiphophorus maculatus, we tried to s...
We compared several characteristics of the pelagic eggs of Verasper variegatus with those of demersal eggs of Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae, both in the order Pleuronectiformes (halibuts or flatfishes). V. variegatus eggs had about twice the diamet...
Background: Duplication and subsequent neofunctionalization of the teleostean hatching enzyme gene occurred in the common ancestor of Euteleostei and Otocephala, producing two genes belonging to different phylogenetic clades (clade I and II). In e...
Background: Hatching enzyme is a protease that digests the egg envelope, enabling hatching of the embryo. We have comprehensively studied the molecular mechanisms of the enzyme action to its substrate egg envelope, and determined the gene/protein ...
