The effects of fluorene-9-bisphenol on female zebrafish (Danio rerio) reproductive and exploratory behaviors.

Endocrine disruptor chemicals induce adverse effects to animals' development, reproduction and behavior in environment. We investigated the effects of fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF), one substitute of bisphenol A, on courtship behavior and exploratory behavior of adult zebrafish. Customized apparatus was used to evaluate courtship behavior.

Computational Prediction of Protein Epsilon Lysine Acetylation Sites Based on a Feature Selection Method.

Aim And Objective: Lysine acetylation, as one type of post-translational modifications (PTM), plays key roles in cellular regulations and can be involved in a variety of human diseases. However, it is often high-cost and time-consuming to use traditional experimental approaches to identify the lysine acetylation sites. Therefore, effective computational methods should be developed to predict the acetylation sites.
