MOTIVATION Assessing the false positive rate of function prediction methods is difficult, as it is hard to establish that a protein does not have a certain function. To determine to what extent proteins with similar sequences have a common function, we focused on photosynthesis-related proteins. A protein that comes from a non-photosynthetic organism is, undoubtedly, not involved in photosynthe...

The biochemical and genetic search for a bc(1) complex in Rhodothermus marinus was always fruitless; however, a functional equivalent, i.e. having quinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase activity was characterized. Now, with the sequencing of R. marinus genome, it was possible to assign the N-terminal sequences of several proteins of this complex to its coding genes. The alternative complex III from...

Though many neuroscientific methods have been brought to bear in the search for functional specializations within prefrontal cortex, little consensus has emerged. To assess the contribution of functional neuroimaging, this article reviews patterns of frontal-lobe activation associated with a broad range of different cognitive demands, including aspects of perception, response selection, executi...

Bio diversity in its broader sense is the variety of life in all its forms, levels and combinations and its interactions, consisting of species, genetic and ecosystem diversity. Farm animal genetic resources are those animal populations that are used, may be used, for the production of food and agriculture. In animal farming, production systems and its genetic diversity are having a close link ...

Nanotechnology a developing field of Science and Technology will leave no field untouched by its ground breaking scientific innovations. The agricultural industry is no exception. So far, the use of nanotechnology in agriculture has been mostly theoretical, but it has begun and will continue to have a significant effect in the main areas of the food industry: development of new functional mater...

Affluent diets have negative effects on the health of the population and the environment. Moreover, the ability of industrialised agricultural ecosystems to continue to supply these diets is threatened by the anticipated consequences of climate change. By challenging the ongoing supply the diets of affluent countries, climate change provides a population and environmental health opportunity. Th...
