ERG's to spectral lights were recorded from all eyes of intact wolf spiders. Secondary eyes have maximum relative sensitivities at 505-510 nm which are unchanged by chromatic adaptations. Principal eyes have ultraviolet sensitivities which are 10 to 100 times greater at 380 nm than at 505 nm. However, two animals' eyes initially had greater blue-green sensitivities, then in 7 to 10 wk dropped 4...

The current model for regulation of the Src family kinase member Lck postulates a strict correlation between structural condensation of the kinase backbone and catalytic activity. The key regulatory tyrosine 505, when phosphorylated, interacts with the Src homology 2 domain on the same molecule, effectively suppressing tyrosine kinase activity. Dephosphorylation of Tyr(505) upon TCR engagement ...

A novel time series analysis procedure is presented to localize damage sources in a mechanical system. An attempt is made to pinpoint the sources of nonlinear damage by solely analysing the vibration signatures recorded from a structure of interests. First, a linear prediction model, combining Auto-Regressive (AR) and Auto-Regressive with eXogenous inputs (ARX) techniques, is estimated using a ...

In T cells, the lipid raft-associated Lck is strongly tyrosine phosphorylated and has reduced enzymic activity in contrast with the detergent-soluble pool, which has substantial activity. Lck tagged at the C-terminus (Lck/V5-His) was efficiently captured by epitope-specific reagents from the detergent-soluble fraction but not from lipid rafts. Binding was restored following urea denaturation, s...

Like homework 1, homework 2 is graded out of 30 points. Overall, question 1 was worth 10 points, and question 2 (which had more parts and more proofs) 20. Question (2f) was worth 5, which seemed reasonable to me. Whether you think of question (2f) as extra credit is purely a matter of perspective; I chose to mark it as part of the 30 points possible, but if you want to think of it as true extra...
