Apolipophorin III: A Unique Insect Protein
Insect lipoprotein termed as apolipophorin III (apoLp-III), has a unique five-helix bundle protein structure. The protein is used by insects to supply high supply of energy to their flight muscles (wings) during unstopped long-distance migration. However, it is not clear why compared to most prominent four-helix bundle protein structure found in nature, apoLp-III has five helix bundles. This re...
متن کاملVirE2: A Unique ssDNA-Compacting Molecular Machine
The translocation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) across membranes of two cells is a fundamental biological process occurring in both bacterial conjugation and Agrobacterium pathogenesis. Whereas bacterial conjugation spreads antibiotic resistance, Agrobacterium facilitates efficient interkingdom transfer of ssDNA from its cytoplasm to the host plant cell nucleus. These processes rely on the Typ...

متن کاملCatching a Passing Moment:
This report describes a hitherto-isolated culture in northern Pakistan that has recently under gone rapid exposure to the outside world. Rapid change in Karimabad, a town of 4,600 peo ple in the Hunza Valley, has caused conflicts between cultural inertia and the forces of progress and modernization to surface and produced visible instances of cultural persistence and adap tation. For example...
متن کاملInsect-machine interface: a carbon nanotube-enhanced flexible neural probe.
We developed microfabricated flexible neural probes (FNPs) to provide a bi-directional electrical link to the moth Manduca sexta. These FNPs can deliver electrical stimuli to, and capture neural activity from, the insect's central nervous system. They are comprised of two layers of polyimide with gold sandwiched in between in a split-ring geometry that incorporates the bi-cylindrical anatomical...
