Relocation to get venture capital : a resource dependence perspective
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from SAGE via the DOI in this record.Using a resource dependence perspective, we theorize and show that non-venture-capital-backed ventures founded in U.S. states with a lower availability of venture capital (VC) are more likely to relocate to California (CA) or Massachusetts (MA)—the two VC richest states—compared to ventures founded in states with a greater availability of VC. Moreover, controlling for self-selection, ventures that relocate to CA or MA subsequently have a greater probability of attracting initial VC compared to ventures that stay in their home state. We discuss the implications for theory, future research, and practice

Purification of a novel, heat-stable serine protease inhibitor protein from ovaries of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
A protease-inhibitor was isolated from mature ovaries of Schistocerca gregaria by a combination of trypsin-affinity chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. It was characterized by aminoterminal amino acid sequencing using Edman degradation based automated microsequencing and by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, The N-terminal sequence (Y)XAEXDELA(A)EEY(Y)Q(Q)X(I)(L)M (X being a Cys, an irregular or modified amino acid) revealed no similarities with any other protease inhibitors isolated from invertebrate or vertebrate source. The 14 kDa inhibitor was found to be heat-stable. It shows potent inhibitory activity toward bovine trypsin and chymotrypsin, but not toward pancreatic elastase. It is likely that the characterized inhibitor will serve as an important tool for understanding its role in insect development. (C) 1997 Academic Press
