In reality, the Saamis involved in this traditional livelihood consists a small part of the overall Saami population. Swedish law still make a distinction between the herding a

This paper presents a biocatalysis based approach for asymmetric hydrolysis of Clopidogrel, one of the most effective antiplatelet aggregators. Instead of the conventional "wet lab" screening method, we used an advanced chemical information retrieval tool, Scifinder®, to find suitable enzyme candidate(s) for the asymmetric hydrolysis. Scifinder® search for reactions similar to the target reaction

In previous studies in southern Sweden, early use of oral contraceptives has been found to be accompanied by an increased risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer, and the tumors developing in these patients have shown a more aggressive behavior. In the present study, amplification of the proto-oncogenes Her-2/neu (also known as ERBB2) and INT2 was studied in primary tumor specimens from 72
