The Escherichia coli lactose carrier is an energy-transducing H+/galactoside cotransport protein which strictly couples sugar and proton transport in 1:1 stoichiometry. Here we describe five lactose carrier mutants which catalyze "uncoupled" sugar-independent H+ transport. Symptoms similar to uncoupling by a proton ionophore have been observed in cells expressing these mutant carriers. The muta...

because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (da) and arachidonoyl dopamine (aa-da), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. in this work, we explored the putative binding sites of da and aa-da to -lactoglobulin (blg) as potent carrier. docking results identified the binding si...

The aim of this study was to identify the deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase (DUMPS) and the complex vertebral malformation (CVM) in Iranian Holstein bulls. A total of 144 blood samples were prepared of Holstein bulls in Abbas Abad Animal Breeding Center and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's Dairy Farm in Khorasan state of Iran. Genomic PCR-RFLP protocol was performed to amplify the po...

BACKGROUND By late 1993, the genes for cystic fibrosis and Gaucher disease and the mutations common among Ashkenazi Jews had been identified. In response to these advances, heterozygote screening for cystic fibrosis and Gaucher disease was added to the more than 20-year-old Tay-Sachs disease screening program at New York University Medical Center, New York, NY. OBJECTIVE To review the outcome...

Microtubules have been implicated in the transport of vesicles carrying newly synthesized proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the cell surface. We have established a quantitative in vitro binding assay to investigate the putative interaction between these exocytic carrier vesicles and the microtubules at the molecular level. TGN-derived exocytic carrier vesicles, labeled with C6NBD-c...

A turbo code codec is implemented as a portion of a modem in a software radio. The performance of this software radio is tested in a Monte Carlo simulation and on a hardware testbed. The codec uses two punctured rate 1/2 constituent codes and a 16383-bit pseudo-random interleaver to produce a net rate ~1/2 turbo code. The modem generates a binary phaseshift keyed modulation on a 200 kHz carrier...

In this study, balanced and single ended class-E power amplifiers (PAs) were designed and realized for 3.5–3.8GHz band by using Gallium Nitride high electron mobility transistor (GaN HEMT). Realizations were made on low loss Rogers RT5880 dielectric material which has 0.254mm thickness and 2.2 dielectric constant. Proposed balanced class-E PA has approximately 20W (43 dBm) output power with 80%...
