A MODERN MODE OF ACTIVATION FOR NUCLEIC ACID ENZYMES.

A modern mode of activation for nucleic acid enzymes.

Through evolution, enzymes have developed subtle modes of activation in order to ensure the sufficiently high substrate specificity required by modern cellular metabolism.One of these modes is the use of a target-dependent module (i.e.a docking domain) such as those found in signalling kinases.Upon the binding of the target to a docking domain, the

Karyotypic variation in Rhinophylla pumilio Peters, 1865 and comparative analysis with representatives of two subfamilies of Phyllostomidae (Chiroptera)

The family Phyllostomidae belongs to the most abundant and diverse group of bats in the Neotropics with more morphological traits variation at the family level than any other group within mammals.In this work, we present data of chromosome banding (G, C and Ag-NOR) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for representatives of Rhinophylla pum

Dendritic phytic acid as a proton-conducting crosslinker for improved thermal stability and proton conductivity

Abstract There is growing interest in materials that exhibit enhanced proton conductivity at elevated temperatures without the need for humidification.Here, we develop a dendritic proton-conducting dopant for proton exchange membranes based on phytic acid (PhA) salts.PhA, which contains six phosphate groups capable of facilitating proton exchange,
