Freshwater Mollusks of the Upper Reaches of the Konda River Basin (Western Siberia): Species Composition, Distribution Patterns and Insights on Their Phylogeography

The taxonomic composition and zoogeographic characteristics of the malacofauna of the upper Konda River basin, a major left tributary of the Irtysh River within the taiga zone of Western Siberia, were identified. A total of 27 species of freshwater mollusks were recorded, includi...

Starch as a Polymer-Based Medium Modifier to Analyze Enzyme Activity under Conditions Close to Intracellular Media: Butyrylcholinesterase as a Model Enzyme

Abstract The study demonstrates the possibility of using starch to model macromolecular crowding and intracellular medium. A kinetic approach is used to reveal specific functioning of butyrylcholinesterases from different sources in the starch medium. In the study solutions, the...
