A TWO-STAGE STOCHASTIC RULE-BASED MODEL TO DETERMINE PRE-ASSEMBLY BUFFER CONTENT


A novel human tectonin protein with multivalent beta-propeller folds interacts with ficolin and binds bacterial LPS.

BACKGROUND: Although the human genome database has been completed a decade ago, approximately 50% of the proteome remains hypothetical as their functions are unknown.The elucidation of the functions of these hypothetical proteins can lead to additional protein pathways and revelation of new cascades.However, many of these inferences are limited to

Drone congregations in Meliponini: what do they tell us?

At some point during their life, meliponine males leave their nests and form congregations which can be made up of tens up to several hundreds of individuals.There, males, which individually may frequent the same agglomeration for subsequent days, are seen to dehydrate nectar.Analyses in weboost splitter four species of Melipona show that the sugar
