While-you-wait proteins? Producing biomolecules at the point of need

Corepressors: custom tailoring and alterations while you wait

A diverse cadre of metazoan transcription factors mediate repression by recruiting protein complexes containing the SMRT (silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptor) or N-CoR (nuclear receptor corepressor) corepressors. SMRT and N-CoR nucleate the assembly of still larger corepressor complexes that perform the specific molecular incantations necessary to confer transcriptional ...

Can You See Where I Point at?

Pointing on public displays is usually done in a relative and indirect fashion. However, such techniques have two drawbacks: first, a personal pointer is shown on the public screen which decreases the users’ privacy in selection tasks. And second, when multiple displays are present, users need to connect to the one they want to interact with a priori. In this paper we review the strengths of To...

Information Literacy at the Point of Need – Literature Review Workshops

Information literacy instruction for graduate students has historically been limited to orientations for new students Some of the reasons for this limited instruction have been faculty members' assumptions that graduate students already possess Information Literacy skills or should be able to figure out the process of finding, accessing and evaluating information on their own (Hardesty, 1995), ...

EconDesk - Getting the Content of Need at the Point of Need

EconDesk has been online since August 2005. The conception and the setup of EconDesk were funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) as part of a renewal proposal for EconBiz, the Virtual Library for Economics and Business Studies. Since then EconDesk has changed its status from project to normal routine and is financed entirely by the German National Librar...
