Bacterio-opsin mutants of Halobacterium halobium.
The bacterio-opsin (bop) gene of Halobacterium halobium R1 has been cloned with about 40 kilobases of flanking genomic sequence. The 40-kilobase segment is derived from the (G+C)-rich fraction of the chromosome and is not homologous to the major (pHH1) or minor endogenous covalently closed circular DNA species of H. halobium. A 5.1-kilobase Pst I fragment containing the bop gene was subcloned i...
متن کاملStructure and function in rhodopsin: Mass spectrometric identification of the abnormal intradiscal disulfide bond in misfolded retinitis pigmentosa mutants.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) point mutations in both the intradiscal (ID) and transmembrane domains of rhodopsin cause partial or complete misfolding of rhodopsin, resulting in loss of 11-cis-retinal binding. Previous work has shown that misfolding is caused by the formation of a disulfide bond in the ID domain different from the native Cys-110-Cys-187 disulfide bond in native rhodopsin. Here we r...
متن کاملSee-through Sheet Visual Display for Haptic Device Using Flexible Sheet
A haptic device using flexible sheet such as rubber has already been proposed. Controlling the bias tension of the sheet, the device varies compliance of the sheet in the normal direction; users can feel compliance of various virtual objects if they touch the sheet. This device is integrated into a visual and haptic display. The haptic device uses transparent flexible sheet, and a liquid crysta...
متن کاملOn Jovian Plasma Sheet Structure
We evaluate several models of Jovian plasma sheet structure by determining how well they organize several aspects of the observed Voyager 2 magnetic field characteristics as a function of Jovicentric radial distance. The present study focuses exclusively on the data from the Voyager 2 spacecraft because the magnetosphere was more stable during that flyby than it was during the Pioneer 10 and Vo...
متن کاملBeta-Sheet Structure Prediction Methods
The amino acid sequence rules that correspond to beta-sheet structures in proteins are still not well understood. Current protein structure prediction methods are more accurate for alpha-helical structures than for beta-sheet structures. One reason that beta-strand structure prediction is more difficult is because of its high prevalence of nonlocal interactions between regions of the protein ch...
