in this paper, the mer-co(nh3)3(no2)3 complex was used as a new precursor for synthesizing spinel-type cobalt oxide nanoparticles (co3o4nps).thermal decomposition of the complex at low temperature (175 °c) resulted in the co3o4nps without using expensive and toxic solvents or complicated equipment. xrd, ft-ir, sem, edx, and tem were employed to characterize the product, and its optical and magn...

Twin arginine translocation (Tat) systems transport large folded proteins across sealed membranes. Tat systems accomplish this feat with three membrane components organized in two complexes. In thylakoid membranes, cpTatC and Hcf106 comprise a large receptor complex containing an estimated eight cpTatC-Hcf106 pairs. Protein transport occurs when Tha4 joins the receptor complex as an oligomer of...

A virus-specific ribonucleoprotein complex is present in the cytoplasm of reticuloendotheliosis virus-transformed chicken bone marrow cells. This ribonucleoprotein complex contains viral reverse transcriptase activity and may represent a precursor to the budding virion. The major viral polypeptide associated with the ribonucleoprotein complex was a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 63,000....

acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most prevalent hematological malignant tumor during childhood. unilateral infiltration into the gums is less prevalent and more often observed in the aml type. a 12-year-old girl with symptoms of pain and swelling in the buccal vestibule and also at the posterior part of the right palate of the maxilla was referred to a private dental office. the patien...

rise in temperature occurred after soil temperature was measured in different time series. in this article, ldf (logarithmic derivative filter) innovative method is applied to detect anomalies. this method tests soil temperature time series for 12 earthquakes in iran with magnitudes of either five or greater than five. results from this method were collected. based on the results of ldf method ...

The mitochondrial inner membrane imports numerous proteins that span it multiple times using the membrane potential Deltapsi as the only external energy source. We purified the protein insertion complex (TIM22 complex), a twin-pore translocase that mediated the insertion of precursor proteins in a three-step process. After the precursor is tethered to the translocase without losing energy from ...

The bacterial alpha-lytic protease (alphaLP) is synthesized as a precursor containing a large N-terminal pro region (Pro) transiently required for correct folding of the protease [Silen, J. L., and Agard, D. A. (1989) Nature 341, 462-464]. Upon folding, the precursor is autocatalyticly cleaved to yield a tight-binding inhibitory complex of the pro region and the fully folded protease (Pro/alpha...
