bacteriorhodopsin operates as a light/proton transfer pump which converts the light energy into a proton gradient. energy stored in the proton gradient can be used in a variety of ways. bacteriorhodopsin producing sources are some halobacterium species such as halobacterium sodomense and halobacterium salinarum which continue to grow in harsh and salt-saturated conditions. two types of red pigm...

Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) is a foodborne pathogen, posing a high risk of disease to infants and immunocompromised individuals. In order to develop a quick, easy, and sensitive assay for detecting C. sakazakii, a rabbit anti-C. sakazakii immunoglobulin G (IgG) was developed using sonicated cell protein from C. sakazakii. The developed anti-C. sakazakii (IgG) was of good quality and pu...

(b) In Fig. 3, 4 and 6, the captions incorrectly refer to a purple solid line representing the data at T = 24 K. This should refer to a green solid line instead. (c) cg(e)s in the second line in eqn (2) should be c † g(e)s instead. (d) The word ‘‘less’’ in the sentence before eqn (6) should be ‘‘greater’’ instead. Eqn (7) refers to the greater than Green function clearly. (e) The word ‘‘and’’ i...

Cigarette smoke contains around 4000 chemical substances including free radicals and carcinogens, which are xenobiotic agents in the body, affecting the reproductive system. Purple sweet potatoes contain the color pigment anthocyanin. The purple color pigment (anthocyanin) in purple sweet potatoes is a beneficial antioxidant because it can react with free radicals that can cause damage in the b...

distribution and stability of purple nutsedge (cyperus rotundus) population within four fields under corn-fallow rotation were analyzed over two growing seasons in 2005 and 2006 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university, mashhad, iran. in 2005, n-fertilizer (urea) was applied at two different application methods (whole and split application). as a result of applying or not app...
