AbstractPalm oil of Elaeis guineensis Jacq. contains approximately 50% saturated and 50% unsaturated fatty acids. In the composition of saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid is the most abundant which is predominantly around 44% of the total fatty acids.

Crystallization of a Mos1 transposase-inverted-repeat DNA complex: biochemical and preliminary crystallographic analyses [PDF]
A complex formed between Mos1 transposase and its inverted-repeat DNA has been crystallized. The crystals diffract to 3.25 Å resolution and exhibit monoclinic (P2(1)) symmetry, with unit-cell parameters a = 120.8, b = 85.1, c = 131.6 Å, β = 99.3°.

Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content. [PDF]
Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced rate of nucleotide substitution ...

Comparative chloroplast genomes of photosynthetic orchids: insights into evolution of the Orchidaceae and development of molecular markers for phylogenetic applications. [PDF]
The orchid family Orchidaceae is one of the largest angiosperm families, including many species of important economic value. While chloroplast genomes are very informative for systematics and species identification, there is very limited information ...

The Unusual Properties of the AAV Inverted Terminal Repeat [PDF]
Although the sequence of the AAV inverted terminal repeat has been known for 40 years, there are still unanswered questions about functions attributable to the terminal 125 nucleotides.

Structure and function of Na+-symporters with inverted repeats [PDF]
Symporters are membrane proteins that couple energy stored in electrochemical potential gradients to drive the cotransport of molecules and ions into cells. Traditionally, proteins are classified into gene families based on sequence homology and functional properties, for example the sodium glucose (SLC5 or Sodium Solute Symporter Family, SSS or SSF ...

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]
Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals.

Complete sequence and comparative analysis of the chloroplast genome of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). [PDF]
Coconut, a member of the palm family (Arecaceae), is one of the most economically important trees used by mankind. Despite its diverse morphology, coconut is recognized taxonomically as only a single species (Cocos nucifera L.).
