Dynein activators and adaptors at a glance

The dynein family at a glance.

Three families of cytoskeletal motor protein – the myosins, kinesins and dyneins – have evolved to mediate transport of cells and of structures and materials within cells in eukaryotes. Whereas myosin uses actin polymers to carry out its tasks, kinesin and dynein are microtubule-associated motors. Dyneins use energy from ATP hydrolysis to power a wide variety of cellular functions. Although at ...

Peptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance

Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...

A Glance at Psychophysics Software Programs

Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...
