Broadbear J, Kabel D, Tracy L, Mak P
Pharmacol Biochem Behav . 2013 Jul; 119:61-71. PMID: 23872370
The interconnections between the serotonin and oxytocin pathways in the brain suggest that changes in oxytocin levels - arising from natural or drug-induced stimuli - lead to measureable changes in...

Prasankumar R, Chudoba C, Fujimoto J, Mak P, Ruane M
Opt Lett . 2007 Nov; 27(17):1564-6. PMID: 18026507
We demonstrate RF sputtered, non-epitaxially-grown semiconductor nanocrystallite-doped silica films for mode locking a Cr:forsterite laser. We controlled the size and the optical properties of the nanocrystallites by varying the ratio...

Rainer T, Lee N, Ip M, Galvani A, Antonio G, Wong K, et al.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis . 2007 Jan; 26(2):121-9. PMID: 17219094
This study investigated the discriminatory features of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and severe non-SARS community-acquired viral respiratory infection (requiring hospitalization) in an emergency department in Hong Kong. In a...

Wicherek L, Dutsch-Wicherek M, Mak P, Klimek M
Fetal Diagn Ther . 2005 Aug; 20(5):420-5. PMID: 16113565
Objectives: To determine and compare the level of RCAS1 (receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed in SiSo cells) in placentas at term as well as oxytocinase/cystine amino peptidase (CAP) serum level a...

Johnson G, Ferrarin M, Harrington M, Hermens H, Jonkers I, Mak P, et al.
Clin Biomech (Bristol) . 2004 Aug; 19(7):711-8. PMID: 15288457
Objective: To establish the range of forces and moments applied to lower limb orthoses during ambulation by routine users. Design: Well-established gait analysis techniques were used to determine the loading...

Mak P, Wojcik K, Silberring J, Dubin A
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek . 2004 Jun; 77(3):197-207. PMID: 15188884
Deprived of heme and partially unfolded hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochrome c display microbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms with half maximal lethal dose estimated at micromolar concentrations. The...

Mak P, Chmiel D, Gacek G
Acta Biochim Pol . 2002 May; 48(4):1191-5. PMID: 11995991
The work describes purification and biochemical characterization of two inducible antimicrobial peptides from the hemolymph of Galleria mellonella. The peptides were isolated by a sequence of reversed-phase chromatography steps from...

Biol Chem . 2002 Jan; 382(11):1575-82. PMID: 11767947
We report the complete coding sequence and the partial amino acid sequence (determined by chemical sequencing) of Staphylococcus epidermidis extracellular cysteine (Ecp) and serine (Esp) proteases. The first enzyme shows...

Banbula A, Mak P, Smoluch M, Travis J, Potempa J
Biol Chem . 2001 Nov; 382(9):1399-404. PMID: 11688723
RgpB, a cysteine proteinase produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, exhibits proteolytic activity selectively directed against peptide bonds containing an arginine residue in the P1 position. Here we show that this enzyme...

FEBS Lett . 2001 Aug; 503(1):13-8. PMID: 11513846
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease genes (NS2/3 and NS3) were expressed in yeast with their natural substrates fused to a ligand-dependent transcriptional activator, the retinoic acid receptor (RARbeta). RARbeta...
