Clusters, factories and domains

Domains, motifs and clusters in the protein universe.

The rapid growth of bio-sequence information has resulted in an increasing demand for reliable methods that group proteins. A few databases with curated alignments of protein families have demonstrated that expert-driven repositories can keep up with the data deluge in the genome era. These original resources implicitly identify domain-like modules in proteins. An increasing number of automatic...

Strings , and Meson Factories

Spontaneous breaking of CPT is possible in string theory. We show that it can arise at a level within reach of experiments at meson factories currently being built or designed. For φ, B, and τ-charm factories, we discuss the likely experimental string signatures and provide estimates of the bounds that might be attained in these machines.

FME ® Functions and Factories

Transcription factories

There is considerable evidence that transcription does not occur homogeneously or diffusely throughout the nucleus, but rather at a number of specialized, discrete sites termed transcription factories. The factories are composed of ~4-30 RNA polymerase molecules, and are associated with many other molecules involved in transcriptional activation and mRNA processing. Some data suggest that the p...

B - Factories

The evolution of B-Factories is discussed, and comments are made about the common features of present-day asymmetric storage ring collider designs. * Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515. Presented at the 4th International Symposium on Heavy E’lavour Physics, Orsay, France, June 25-29, 1991 There was a symposium Progress on B-Factories the day before the Heavy Flavo...
