Immunochemical characterization of ferredoxin from Halobacterium of the Dead Sea.

An immunological approach, based on both antigen binding tests and radioimmunoassay, has been used for the comparative study of ferredoxin from Halobacterium of the Dead Sea and ferredoxins from a variety of sources. The halophilic ferredoxin was not cross-reactive with the plant, and the mammalian ferredoxins tested. On the other hand, it exhibited up to 80% of antigenic crossreactivity with a...

Compatible and counteracting solutes: protecting cells from the Dead Sea to the deep sea.

Cells of many organisms accumulate certain small organic molecules--called compatible and counteracting solutes, compensatory solutes, or chemical chaperones--in response to certain physical stresses. These solutes include certain carbohydrates, amino acids, methylamine and methylsulphonium zwitterions, and urea. In osmotic dehydrating stress, these solutes serve as cellular osmolytes. Unlike c...

Wind Channeling by the Dead-Sea Wadis

Wind channeling by small wadis of few kilometers width at the Dead-Sea area is demonstrated with highresolution modeling. Previous works have not shown such channeling in very small rivers due to computation difficulties on the mesoand the lack of suitable observations for verification. The wind channeling is demonstrated in three wadis, and was verified by meteorological model simulations on t...

The Theme of Apocalyptic War in the Dead Sea Scrolls

The theme of apocalyptic war was widely developed in Qumran literature. The main source of information about the apocalyptic war can be found in lQM, whch Sukenrk named "The War of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness."' According to Paolo Sacchi, "The word 'apocalyptic' is a modern invention, deriving from the wish to conceptualize the field of research on the affinities between the ...
