Evolutionary history of ATP‐binding cassette proteins

Evolutionary History of Behavior

History of Evolutionary Theory

The term "evolution" is linked to the idea of development in the sciences of life, and only subsequently did it acquire the present meaning of diversification and origin of new species. The dominant image of the scala naturae, strictly related to the creationist, static and essentialistic positions, was substituted by the image of the tree that characterizes the transformist theories, and that ...

Design and Construction of Recombinant ELP-Intein Cassette for Use in Simple and new Purification Methods of Recombinant Proteins

Background and Objective: Use of elastin-like proteins (ELPs) provides high-performance protein purification without need for chromatography. In line with cost reduction and facilitation of recombinant proteins purification, which represent a high percentage of production costs, in this project, we eliminated the need for proteases in the process of separation of recombinant proteins from ELP b...

Cassette Transport Proteins Involved in Hepatobiliary Transport

Hepatobiliary transport of endogenous and exogenous compounds is mediated by the coordinated action of multiple transport systems present at the sinusoidal (basolateral) and canalicular (apical) membrane domains of hepatocytes. During the last few years many of these transporters have been cloned and functionally characterized. In addition, the molecular bases of several forms of cholestatic li...

Evolutionary history of subspecies of Eurasian nuthatches (Sitta europaea persica) from Zagros Mountains, Iran

Abstract. Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), with 18 subspecies, has a wide distribution in deciduous forests of Eurasia. The subspecies S.e.persica is a resident bird in the Zagros Mountains, from north-west to south-west of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of this subspecies to European, Asian, as well as Caucasian clades. For this purp...
