Equilibrium intermediates in the reversible unfolding of firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase.
Firefly luciferase has been used as a model protein to study cotranslational and chaperone-assisted protein folding. We found conditions for reversible unfolding of luciferase in the absence of cellular factors, and we characterized denaturant-induced equilibrium unfolding transitions and refolding kinetics of the enzyme. Luciferase unfolding induced by guanidinium chloride at 10 degrees C can ...
متن کاملMicrosatellite variation in North American populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
Computer database searching for microsatellites can be particularly effective for organisms like Drosophila melanogaster for which there are extensive sequence data. Here we demonstrate that 17 out of 18 such microsatellites are also highly polymorphic in natural populations of Drosophila, and that this variation is easily scorable with PCR followed by electrophoresis on high-resolution agarose...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA variation in North American populations of Daphnia obtusa: continentalism or cryptic endemism?
The morphological stasis of many freshwater crustaceans has resulted in the prior delineation of cosmopolitan species and has been explained by their capacity for long-distance dispersal. This study examines the phylogeography of Daphnia obtusa, a cladoceran thought to be widespread in North America. However, sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene indicates ...
متن کاملVariation among early North American crania.
The limited morphometric work on early American crania to date has treated them as a single, temporally defined group. This paper addresses the question of whether there is significant variability among ancient American crania. A sample of 11 crania (Spirit Cave, Wizards Beach, Browns Valley, Pelican Rapids, Prospect, Wet Gravel male, Wet Gravel female, Medicine Crow, Turin, Lime Creek, and Swa...
متن کاملCopy Number Variation across European Populations
Genome analysis provides a powerful approach to test for evidence of genetic variation within and between geographical regions and local populations. Copy number variants which comprise insertions, deletions and duplications of genomic sequence provide one such convenient and informative source. Here, we investigate copy number variants from genome wide scans of single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
