Characterization of Translocation Contact Sites Involved in the Import of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
Import of proteins into the mitochondrial matrix requires translocation across two membranes. Translocational intermediates of mitochondrial proteins, which span the outer and inner membrane simultaneously and thus suggest that translocation occurs in ...

Investigation of Bioaccumulation Capacity of Barley for Soil Lead and Chromium under Drought Stress Conditions [PDF]
Introduction: The use of sewage sludge, which is mixed locally with poultry waste and is available at a relatively low cost, improves the circulation of nutrients and organic matter in the soil, reduces the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and ...

Diphtheria Toxin and Cytosolic Translocation Factors [PDF]
Diphtheria Toxin (DT) was the first investigated bacterial protein toxin. As one of the most extensively studied bacterial protein toxins, it has served as a model system for the analysis of other protein toxins (Pappenheimer, 1977). As reviewed by Pappenheimer, Loeffler identified Corynebacterium diphtheriae as the causative agent of diphtheria in ...
