Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are plant toxins that were identified for their ability to irreversibly damage ribosomes, thereby causing arrest of protein synthesis and induction of cell death.The RIPs purified from Adenia plants are the most potent ones.Here, we describe a novel toxic lectin from Adenia heterophylla caudex, which has been n
Receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) are located at the viral tail and mediate the initial recognition of phage to a specific bacterial host.Phage RBPs have co-evolved with numerous types of host receptors resulting in the formation of a diverse assortment of cognate pairs of RBP-receptors that function during the phage attachment step.Although several
In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of MoM (Method-of-Moments) based methods in efficient path-loss modelling for SISO (single-input single-output) communication flexcon reverse osmosis water storage tank links assisted by IRS (Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces).Being a full-wave computational electromagnetic tool, MoM is better equipped com
The cellular multiplicity of infection (MOI) is a key parameter for describing the interactions between virions and cells, predicting the dynamics of ultrastar dc hc550 mixed-genotype infections, and understanding virus evolution.Two recent studies have reported in vivo MOI estimates for Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV
