RNA gets in phase

چکیده
Several neurological disorders are linked to tandem nucleotide repeat expansion in the mutated gene. Jain and Vale (2017. Nature. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature22386) show that, above a pathological threshold repeat number, base pairing interactions drive phase separation of RNA into membrane-less gels, suggesting that RNA can scaffold the assembly of phase-separated compartments that sequester proteins/RNAs causing toxicity.

Magnetic nanoparticles: a promising component in RNA extraction process
Magnetic nanoparticles separation technology is a method for quick and easy extraction biomolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA. The present work describes total RNA isolation procedure from transformed rose petals in our laboratory using magnetic nanoparticles as a solid phase absorbant. Petals are the main sources of secondary metabolites, i.e. carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids and phen...
متن کاملPassive Controller Design for Swing Phase of a Single Axis Above-Knee Prosthesis
In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...

Induction Motor especially the squirrel cage type of this motor plays important role in industry. According to the application type, this motor place against various stresses that are caused failure in the motor. The most common failure is related to the Stator winding. Among these failures are turn-to-turn, coil-to-coil and phase to phase faults. Flow the high current do to the induction resul...
متن کاملan Efficient Drive Circuit for Switched Reluctance Motor
The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...
