Interaction of Bacteriophage λ with Its E. coli Receptor, LamB
The initial step of viral infection is the binding of a virus onto the host cell surface. This first viral-host interaction would determine subsequent infection steps and the fate of the entire infection process. A basic understating of the underlining mechanism of initial virus-host binding is a prerequisite for establishing the nature of viral infection. Bacteriophage λ and its host Esch...
متن کاملHow fast can you change your mind? The speed of top-down guidance in visual search
Most laboratory visual search tasks involve many searches for the same target, while in the real world we typically change our target with each search (e.g. find the coffee cup, then the sugar). How quickly can the visual system be reconfigured to search for a new target? Here observers searched for targets specified by cues presented at different SOAs relative to the search stimulus. Search fo...
متن کاملHow long can we live?
The continuing rapid age shift in recent years from predominately a younger to an older population in America and many other countries is a problem of great concern. Its socioeconomic implications for the distant future are quite unpredictable due to our inability to answer a few basic questions. How long will life expectancy continue to increase? What is the maximum possible length of life?
متن کاملStochastic holin expression can account for lysis time variation in the bacteriophage λ.
The inherent stochastic nature of biochemical processes can drive differences in gene expression between otherwise identical cells. While cell-to-cell variability in gene expression has received much attention, randomness in timing of events has been less studied. We investigate event timing at the single-cell level in a simple system, the lytic pathway of the bacterial virus phage λ. In indivi...
متن کاملHow cognitive enhancement can change our duties
This theoretical paper draws the scientific community's attention to how pharmacological cognitive enhancement may impact on society and law. Namely, if safe, reliable, and effective techniques to enhance mental performance are eventually developed, then this may under some circumstances impose new duties onto people in high-responsibility professions-e.g., surgeons or pilots-to use such substa...
