Vitamin K-dependent protein S belongs to the family of clotting factors (e.g. Factors IX and X, and protein C). Unlike the other clotting factors, the C-terminal half (residues 250-634) of protein S is not a serine proteinase. In fact, the function of residues 250-634 of protein S is unknown. By using computer programs designed to detect evolutionary relationships between proteins, we find that...

Hz. Ömer döneminde Amr b. Âs, Filistin bölgesindeki şehirleri fethetmiş, Beytülmakdis’i ise kuşatma altında tutmuş ancak ilk etapta başarılı olamamıştı. Daha sonra Ebû Ubeyde’nin bölgeye gelmesi ve Beytülmakdis’te kaleye sığınan halkın daha fazla dayanamayacaklarını anlaması sonucu şehir, isteği ile Ömer’e teslim edilmiştir. Ömer’in Beytülmakdis halkına vermiş olduğu emannâme can mal güvenliği,...

Abstract Due to their high specificity and efficacy, RNA interference (RNAi)-based strategies have been used for fundamental functional genomics studies in a number of insects. However, its potential translational applications pest management is also great interest. The lack suitable RNAi triggering approaches, however, so far has largely precluded the implementation RNAi-based approaches targe...

MWC656 is the first known Be/black hole (BH) binary system. Be/BH binaries are important in the context of binary system evolution and sources of detectable gravitational waves because they are possible precursors of coalescing neutron star/BH binaries. X-ray observations conducted in 2013 revealed that MWC656 is a quiescent high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB), opening the possibility to explore X-...
