The duration of pregnancy is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic
factors. Here we report a fetal genome-wide association meta-analysis of gestational duration, …

The rational control over enzyme‐catalyzed regioselectivity has been studied using sucrose
acylation by vinyl esters in organic media as a model. Subtilisins BPN' and Carlsberg …

The dramatic activation of serine proteases in nonaqueous media resulting from lyophilization
in the presence of KCl is shown to be unrelated to relaxation of potential substrate …

Objective To determine the prevalence of virus in a previously uncharacterized matched

In the photoactivation of sulfite‐modified urocanase from Pseudomonas putida, the sulfite
adds to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and photodissociation accompanies activation. …

Background Despite evidence that genetic factors contribute to the duration of gestation and
the risk of preterm birth, robust associations with genetic variants have not been identified. …

The function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is regulated by proteolysis, which limits its
multimeric size and ability to tether platelets. The importance of ADAMTS13 metalloprotease in …

Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS-CL/P) is one of the most common

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to create a predictive model for preterm birth (PTB)
from available clinical data and serum analytes. STUDY DESIGN: Serum analytes and …

Preterm birth is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in infants. Genetic and environmental
factors play a role in the susceptibility to preterm birth, but despite many investigations, …
