Networking with proteins

Networking proteins in yeast.

T advent of genome sequencing projects—culminating in the recent reports of the human sequence (1, 2)—has resulted in both the identification of novel genes and proteins as well as the proliferation of the ‘‘omes’’ that come from their analyses: the proteome (the complement of proteins), transcriptome (the complement of mRNA transcripts), metabolome (the complement of metabolites), and so on. T...

A "so cilia" network: cilia proteins start "social" networking.

Cilia are unique cellular organelles found in nearly all cell types. In recent years, the importance of these organelles has been highlighted by the discovery that mutations in genes encoding proteins related to cilia biogenesis and function cause a class of complex syndromes termed ciliopathies. Emerging evidence suggests interactions among the various ciliopathy-associated proteins, but the p...

INTERACTION OF PROTEINS WITH SMALL MOLECULES

Mesh networking with Bitcoin

Mesh networks are gaining popularity as a means to provide internet connectivity to the public as the cost of deploying fixed network infrastructure increases. Despite an abundance of wireless devices available in the public, it is di cult to incentivise collaboration between devices due to lack of coordination and absence of trust. We introduce the Biternet network, a proof of concept for mesh...

ATM Networking with VSATs

Abstract: This paper presents the preliminary results of the research to use Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) systems for ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) services. We consider a scenario where a large number of VSATs are interconnected by an On Board Processing (OBP) satellite with cell switching capabilities. Statistical multiplexing is used to take advantages of the burstiness of VBR traf...
