The dynamics of an initially bare pair of two-level atoms at distance R is investigated. The pair is coupled to the vacuum radiation field in the multipolar scheme and in the dipole approximation.The Heisenberg equations of motion for various atomic operators are obtained neglecting terms O(e') and for t smaller than the spontaneous relaxation time. A rigorous proof of causality in the atom-atom interaction is given. Interatomic correlations, however, are shown to develop for
Calpains, the calcium-dependent thiol-proteases have been implicated in various important cellular processes including tenderization of meat. So, aim of this study was to identify calpains and their potential inhibitor calpastatin in blood and skeletal muscles to elucidate their role in post-mortem tenderization of guinea fowl meat during holding at 4±1 °C. For this, breast and thigh muscles of two different guinea fowl varieties were collected, processed, and finally, analyzed on casein Zymogram gels. The sample extracts were also subjected to dialysis (12 kDa MWCO) and loaded on DEAE anion column for purification and separation of µ-and m-calpains as well as calpastatin. Results show that there were clear bands of µ-and m-calpains in the extracts of both the blood and muscle samples. But the band intensity for muscle samples kept decreasing with the increase of holding time showing the decreasing trend in activity of these enzymes. The calpastatin activity was also decreased rapidly and greatly. The pH and W-B shear force values were decreased with the increase in holding time. Finally, the µ-calpain induced post-mortem maturation time was optimized at 6 h for breast and thigh muscles of both the varieties of guinea fowl.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
