Objectives: North Carolina has the eighth largest American Indian population in the United States. American Indians have high death rates for a number of specific causes of death. However, North Carolina has lacked comprehensive statewide information about health risks in its American Indian populations. The objective of this study is to examine health risks and conditions among adult North Car...

A 67-year-old white British man presented with a 2-month history of headache, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed splenomegaly. Laboratory tests showed a hemoglobin level of 111 g/L, white cell count of 1.5 3 10/L, neutrophil count of 0.4 3 10/L, and platelet count of 129 3 10/L. The man was HIV negative, and a blood film was nondiagnostic. Bone marrow aspirate s...

The polar flagellum of Vibrio alginolyticus is rotated by the sodium motor. The stator unit of the sodium motor consists of four different proteins: PomA, PomB, MotX and MotY. MotX and MotY, which are unique components of the sodium motor, form the T-ring structure attached to the LP ring in the periplasmic space. MotY has a putative peptidoglycan-binding motif in its C-terminal region and MotX...

The recombinant expression of soluble proteins in Escherichia coli continues to be a major bottleneck in structural genomics. The establishment of reliable protocols for the performance of small-scale expression and solubility testing is an essential component of structural genomic pipelines. The SSGCID Protein Production Group at the University of Washington (UW-PPG) has developed a high-throu...

BACKGROUND Functional Genomics, the systematic characterisation of the functions of an organism's genes, includes the study of the gene products, the proteins. Such studies require methods to express and purify these proteins in a parallel, time and cost effective manner. RESULTS We developed a method for parallel expression and purification of recombinant proteins with a hexahistidine tag (H...
