Genomic stability in response to high versus low linear energy transfer radiation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Low linear energy transfer (LET) gamma rays and high LET HZE (high atomic weight, high energy) particles act as powerful mutagens in both plants and animals.

Directed enzyme evolution: climbing fitness peaks one amino acid at a time [PDF]
Directed evolution can generate a remarkable range of new enzyme properties. Alternate substrate specificities and reaction selectivities are readily accessible in enzymes from families that are naturally functionally diverse.

Electrostatic Steering Accelerates C3d:CR2 Association. [PDF]
Electrostatic effects are ubiquitous in protein interactions and are found to be pervasive in the complement system as well. The interaction between complement fragment C3d and complement receptor 2 (CR2) has evolved to become a link between innate and ...

Abstract Revising this chapter engendered the thought that perhaps the days of large scale screens for mutations had waned. But the genome projects have described many genes (ORFs), or expressed sequences, for which no known function exists, and this provides impetus for the isolation of mutations in specific genes or regions of the ...

Manipulation of genes involved in starch synthesis could significantly affect wheat grain weight and yield. The starch-branching enzyme (SBE) catalyzes the formation of branch points by cleaving the α-1,4 linkage in polyglucans and reattaching the chain ...

The role of ECL2 in CGRP receptor activation: a combined modelling and experimental approach [PDF]
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a complex of a calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), which is a family B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1.

In vitro and in vivo screening for novel essential cell-envelope proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents a prototype of multi-drug resistant opportunistic pathogens for which novel therapeutic options are urgently required.

Ionizing radiation induces genetic variations in plants, which makes it useful for plant breeding. A theory that the induced mutations occur randomly in the genome has long been accepted, but is now controversial.
