Some books are not necessarily good literature but are all the same unique in marking extremes of creative determination. Yesou puyan, or A Country Codger Puts His Words out to Sun, is just such a book, written by an eccentric polymath who never amounted to anything in what counted in China, official life. ' In his novel China is being threatened by demons, barbarians, and forces of Buddhist an...

India’s scenes are depicted as dark side our life which reveals corruption taking place both government pr...

Mussel adhesive proteins have been suggested as a basis for environmentally friendly adhesives for use in aqueous conditions and in medicine. However, attempts to produce functional and economical recombinant mussel adhesive proteins (mainly foot protein type 1) in several systems have failed. Here, the cDNA coding for Mytilus galloprovincialis foot protein type 5 (Mgfp-5) was isolated for the ...

Natural proteins are often confined within their local microenvironments, such as three-dimensional confinement in organelles or two-dimensional confinement in lipid rafts on cytoplasmic membrane. Spatial confinement restricts proteins' entropic freedom, forces their lateral interaction, and induces new properties that the same proteins lack at the soluble state. So far, the phenomenon of envir...

The αvβ6 integrin is up-regulated in cancer and wound healing but it is not generally expressed in healthy adult tissue. There is increasing evidence that it has a role in cancer progression and will be a useful target for antibody-directed cancer therapies. We report a novel recombinant diabody antibody fragment that targets specifically αvβ6 and blocks its function. The diabody was engineered...

We previously expressed VbhTA constructs for lysate AMPylation assays from the pRSFDuet-1 backbone, a plasmid with two multiple cloning sites that each enable the expression of constructs from a PT7 promoter. Our constructs encoded either the VbhT toxin alone (with an N-terminal hexahistidine (His6-)tag) to be expressed from the first multiple cloning site or had additionally the VbhA antitoxin...
