In this issue of Genes & Development, Graham and colleagues (pp. 1228-1238) examine how ParBs, which bind to prokaryotic centromere-like partition sites, spread into nearby nonspecific DNA and assemble into higher-order protein-DNA complexes. Spreading is accomplished by looping rather than one-dimensional filamentation, thereby compacting the DNA into an extensively bridged complex.

infectious disease. Most of the vaccines available today are injected parenterally, and they are not effective for inducing immunity at mucosal surfaces. In contrast, oral vaccines elicit both mucosal and systemic immune responses and have the advantages of self-administration. However, the oral administration of vaccines has the problem of antigen degradation by gastric acid and proteolytic en...

Ohwi (Leguminosae), has been clinically used as an antipyretic and spasmolytic agent in traditional Chinese medicine. Many Chinese herbal formulas contain Pueraria root as their major ingredient; most well-known being “Kakkon-To” (in Japanese), which is indicated for fever and chills with stiffness or rigidity of the neck and upper back. The constituents of Pueraria root have been studied exten...

The summation formula within Pascal triangle resulting in the Fi-bonacci sequence is extended to the q-binomial coefficients q-Gaussian triangles [1, 2]. 1 Pisa historical remark The Fibonacci sequence origin is attributed and referred to the first edition (lost) of " Fiber abaci " (1202) by Leonardo Fibonacci [Pisano] (see second edition from 1228 reproduced as Il Liber Abaci di Leonardo Pisan...

The reaction of benzene with the active oxygen species was studied by UV-visible diffuse reflectance and Raman spectroscopies. For the first time, the intermediate Fe(III)-phenolate complex was evidenced by a UV-visible absorption band at 690 nm and the Raman bands at 643, 896, 990, 1149, 1228, 1475, 1580, and 1607 cm-1. The Raman bands of the Fe(III)-phenolate complex were also confirmed by de...
