MOTIVATION Sequence alignment is the problem of finding the optimal character-by-character correspondence between two sequences. It can be readily solved in O(n2) time and O(n2) space on a serial machine, or in O(n) time with O(n) space per O(n) processing elements on a parallel machine. Hirschberg's divide-and-conquer approach for finding the single best path reduces space use by a factor of n...

recombinant protein production in e. coli has several advantages over other expression systems. misfolding, inclusion body formation, and lack of eukaryotic post translational modification are the most disadvantages of this system. exporting of correctly folded proteins to the outside of reductive cytoplasmic environment through twin-arginine system could help to pass these limiting steps. two ...
