متن کاملThe lactose permease meets Frankenstein.
The lactose permease (lac) of Escherichia coli is a paradigm for membrane transport proteins. Encoded by the lacY gene, the permease has been solubilized, purified to homogeneity, reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles and shown to catalyse the coupled translocation of beta-galactosides and H+ with a stoichiometry of unity. Circular dichroism and other spectroscopic approaches demonstrate tha...

We present some empirical results on the use of two methods for integrating diierent classiiers into a hybrid classiier that should perform better than each of its constituent classiiers. The main point of these methods is that instead of combining full classiiers, they combine pieces of them. One of the methods is based on ROC analysis; the other is based on augmenting the data with features d...
