Processing of transient stimuli by the visual system of the rat by Kara, Prakash

“…The sensitivity of the flash-evoked LGN response to the level of background illumination was tested in 11 ON-like and 10 OFF-like neurones. No sustained secondary excitatory events, as observed in visual cortical neurones, were found in any of the ON- and OFF-like LGN neurones, irrespective of the level of background illumination. …”

High-Throughput Determination of Mycobacterium smegmatis Protein Complex Structures by Kirykowicz, Angela Mary

“…These structures were unambiguously identified through a combination of fitting of homologous crystal structures into the low-resolution maps, and information obtained by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) of bands isolated from native- and SDS-PAGE gels. Since Encapsulin is likely to participate in the Msm oxidative stress response and functions to enclose the target proteins DyP-type peroxidase (DyP) and ferritin-family protein (BrfB), optimal conditions for cryo-EM were tested for further efforts to obtain a high-resolution structure. …”
