The rotation of the central subunits of ATP synthase relative to the surrounding parts has been observed by several techniques, however, most previous studies were carried out using the purified protein immobilized on glass ...

Characterizing the gut bacteria of sand flies is essential not only to identify their influence on host biology, but also to investigate any potential impact on the establishment and development of Leishmania infection, ...

COBRA1 is a co-factor of BRCA1 that was identified to be the β-subunit of the NELF complex (Negative elongation factor) which stalls RNA polymerase II and prevents elongation of the message. The reported levels of expression ...

Biomedical nanotechnology is providing revolutionary opportunities for the rapid and simple diagnosis of many infectious diseases. About half of the world's population are at risk of infection with malaria and diagnostic ...

Methane represents one of the most abundant hydrocarbons on earth and a powerful greenhouse gas. Methane oxidation by microbial consortia contributes positively to the environment by decreasing methane emission to ...

Telomeres are the caps that protect chromosomes from fusing together. Telomeres can be viewed as the plastic ends of shoe-laces that protect chromosome ends from recombining with each other, hence, reserving genomic ...

The Atlantis II deep is the largest brine pool in the Red Sea of around 60 km2. It is located in the central Red Sea (21° 21' N., 38° 04' E.) at a depth of 2200 meters from the sea surface. The lower part of this pool, ...

Atlantis II is the largest brine pool in the Red Sea. It lies at 2,200m deep with an area of about 60km2. The lower convective layer of the Atlantis II brine pool (ATII-LCL) is characterized by extreme conditions, the ...

COBRA1, co-factor of BRCA1, is a transcriptional regulator and a subunit of the Negative elongation complex also known as NELF-B. Although this protein was first designated as a cofactor of BRCA1 and hence acts accordingly, ...

Mobile genetic elements in microbial communities are mainly composed of plasmids, transposons and viruses. They are collectively referred to as the mobilome and serve as agents that facilitate horizontal gene transfer, ...
