Mitochondrial Mutations and the Ageing Process
We have proposed that the accumulation of random somatic gene mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) during life is an important contributor to the ageing process. The consequence of these mutations is the...

Structure of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase/DNA complex at 7 Å resolution showing active site locations
AIDS, caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is one of the world's most serious health problems, with current protocols being inadequate for either prevention or successful long-term treatment. In retro...

Functional expression of a rapidly inactivating neuronal calcium channel
DIVERSE types of calcium channels in vertebrate neurons are important in linking electrical activity to transmitter release, gene expression and modulation of membrane excitability1. Four classes of Ca2+ channels...

Article
Molecular determinants of Ca2+ selectivity and ion permeation in L-type Ca2+ channels
VOLTAGE-GATED Ca2+ channels link changes in membrane potential to the delivery of Ca2+, a key second messenger for many cellular responses1. Ca2+ channels show selectivity for Ca2+ over more plentiful ions such a...

Article
Structural determinants of the blockade of N-type calcium channels by a peptide neurotoxin
NEUROTOXINS that selectively block Na+, K+ or Ca2+ channels have provided valuable information about the functional diversity of the voltage-gated channel superfamily1. For Ca2+ channels, a variety of toxins have...

Article
Molecular determinants of voltage-dependent inactivation in calcium channels
VOLTAGE-DEPENDENT Ca2+ channels respond to membrane depolarization by conformational changes that control channel opening and eventual closing by inactivation1–3. The kinetics of inactivation differ considerably ...

Front tracking: A parallelized approach for internal boundaries and interfaces
Internal boundaries and interfaces are an important part of many fluid and solid modeling problems. Front Tracking contains a general interface framework, closely related to the non-manifold geometry used in C...

Arrest of the cell cycle by the tumour-suppressor BRCA1 requires the CDK-inhibitor p21WAF1/CiPl
Much of the predisposition to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer has been attributed to inherited defects in the BRCA1 tumour-suppressor gene1,2,3. The nuclear protein BRCA1 has the properties of a transcriptio...

Peptide bond formation by in vitro selected ribozymes
An attractive solution to the problem of the origin of protein synthesis in an evolving ‘RNA world’ involves catalysis by nucleic acid without assistance from proteins1,2. Indeed, even the modern ribosome has bee...

A quantum mode theory of the micromaser
Failure of the steady solution of the master equation was analysed. It was found that the state of sustained oscillation exists only when the ratio of photon decay rate γ to injection rate r is satisfied. Base...

Genomic organization of EDSV strain AA-2
The genomic organization of egg drop syndrome virus strain AA-2 isolated in China is reported here. The genome was found to be 32 838 bp in length, approximately 2 kb shorter than those of the human subgenus C...

Mechanism of inversion metallogeny of quartz vein type gold deposits in the **aoqinling region
There are a lot of important gold-bearing quartz veins in the **aoqinling metamorphic core complex. The quartz veins are strictly controlled by shear zones. Stress analysis indicates that the metallizing proce...

Discovery of granulite from the Fu** area in southern Qinling Mountains and its geological significance
Two-pyroxene-bearing granulites were discovered for the first time in the Hercynian-lndosinian metamorphic belt of the southern Qinling Mountains. The granulites occur In the lower part of the Fu** complex a...
