543-Pos Board B422 Probing Nucleocytoplasmic Transport with Fluorescence Fluctuation Spectroscopy and Two-photon Activation of Photoactivable GFP Yan Chen, Bin Wu, Joachim Mueller. University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA. Large proteins and macromolecular complexes have to enter and leave the nucleus in an efficient and selective manner. Macromolecules that are greater than 40 kD are tran...

This paper describes the growth hormone system, emphasizing its possible effects on epidermal cells, dermal structures and wound healing. A review of the literature was conducted on studies concerning the growth hormone molecule, its receptor and carrier proteins and the other proteins involved in the mechanisms of its manifestation in dermal tissue.

Metal specificities of zinc and copper transport proteins HMA4 and HMA7 from the simple plant Arabidopsis thaliana match the relative, but not the absolute, affinities of their amino-terminal domains.

The use of synthetic peptide immunogens as a means to generate specific immunological reagents for a variety of purposes has increased markedly in recent years. In this chapter, we outline some of the salient factors to be considered when designing peptide immunogens and describe basic methodologies for the conjugation of short synthetic peptides to immunogenic carrier proteins.

Ants are eusocial insects that are found in most regions of the world. Within its caste, worker ants are responsible for various tasks that are required for colony maintenance. In their chemical communication, α-helical carrier proteins, odorant-binding proteins, and chemosensory proteins, which accumulate in the sensillum lymph in the antennae, play essential roles in transferring hydrophobic ...

The solution conformation of acyl carrier protein from Escherichia coli (77 residues) has been determined on the basis of 423 interproton-distance restraints and 32 hydrogen-bonding restraints derived from NMR measurements. A total of nine structures were computed using a hybrid approach combining metric matrix distance geometry and dynamic simulated annealing. The polypeptide fold is well defi...
