The resulting cl...
The molecular biology of Bcs proteins has previously been reviewed by Romling (2002). Essentially, the Bcs operon encodes at least 3 proteins. BcsA (also known as celA, acsAB) is an integral membrane protein that contains the catalytic domain and forms a trans-membrane (TM) pore across the...
This review covers the structural aspects of circadian oscillators, and serves as a primer for this exciting realm of structural biology.doi:10.1186/S12915-018-0623-3Reena SainiMariusz JaskolskiSeth J. DavisBioMed CentralBMC Biology
Before 1995, the uncoupling protein of mammalian brown adipose tissue (UCP1) was believed to be a late evolutionary acquisition required for non-shivering transient thermogenesis and restricted to newborn, cold-acclimated and hibernating mammals [1]. Discovery of plant uncoupling protein (PUMP) in ...
Tuszynski7, Jonathan Michael Blackburn8, Jae-Hyuk Yu9, Samson Sitheni Mashele1, Wanping Chen4 & Khajamohiddin Syed1 Since the initial identification of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs/P450s), great progress has been made in understanding their structure-function ...
Before we proceed, we need to define the terminology borrowed from Biology which we use to talk about our classification scheme throughout the rest of the paper. Definition 1. By phylum we mean a specific type of coding error. For example, Illegal Pointer Value is a phylum. Definition 2. ...
We find there is a remarkable conservation in the distribution of domains with respect to the molecular functions they perform in the three superkingdoms of life. In general, most of the protein repertoire is spent in functions related to metabolic processes but there are significant differences in...
Intriguing parallels in the organization of stem-cell niches have been revealed between plants and animals. Recent evidence indicates that stem cells in multicellular organisms can be specified by kingdom-specific patterning mechanisms that connect to a
