The Scorpions Lose Their Sting
23 While it would appear that the decision to incorporate or subsume the Directorate of Special Operations (or Scorpions), into the South African Police Service (SAPS) is a fait accompli, the process of incorporation will not be straightforward. This is largely because the decision to disband the Scorpions is politically motivated, rather than motivated by practical concerns around the function...
متن کاملSting Use in Two Species of Parabuthus Scorpions (buthidae )
Scorpions sometimes capture and crush prey with their pedipalps and do not use their sting t o inject venom . Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that sting use is selective, resulting in conservation of venom . Sting use in relation to prey size and activity was studied in two African scorpions, Parabuthus liosoma and P. pallidus . Restrictive use of the sting was observed in bot...
متن کاملComputational Investigation on Structural Properties of Carbon Nanotube Binding to Nucleotides According to the QM Methods
The interaction between nucleotides and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a subjectof many investigations for treating diseases but there are many questions in this field thatremain unanswered. Because of experimental methods involve assumptions andinterpretation besides limitations, there are many problems that the best study for them isusing theoretical study. Consequently, t...
متن کاملAnalysis of ligand binding to proteins using molecular dynamics simulations.
This work aims to explore theoretically the molecular mechanisms of ligand binding to proteins through the use of molecular dynamics simulations. The binding of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to cobra cardio toxin A3 (CTX A3) and thiourea (TOU) to lysozyme have been chosen as the two model systems. Data acquisitions were made by Gromacs software. To begin with, the collisions of ligand molecules ...
متن کاملApplication of FITC for detecting the binding of antiangiogenic peptide to HUVECs
Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. The angiogenic programme requires the degradation of the basement membrane, endothelial cell migration and invasion of the extracellular matrix, with endothelial cell proliferation and capillary lumen formation before maturation and stabilization of the new vasculature. Angiogenesis is dependent on a delicate equ...
