Luciferin-Regenerating Enzyme Crystal Structure Is Solved but its Function Is Still Unclear.

abstract：:Previous studies have shown that natural killer (NK) cell activity was suppressed in volunteer subjects exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from solarium lamps. The present studies were carried out to determine the spectrum of UVR responsible for suppression of NK activity and to develop in vitro methods to analyze...
