ANALYSIS OF OPTICIN BINDING TO COLLAGEN FIBRILS IDENTIFIES A SINGLE BINDING SITE IN THE GAP REGION AND A HIGH SPECIFICITY TOWARDS THIN HETEROTYPIC FIBRILS CONTAINING COLLAGENS II, AND XI OR V/XI.

Opticin is a class III member of the extracellular matrix small leucine-rich repeat protein/proteoglycan (SLRP) family found in vitreous humour and cartilage.It was first identified associated with the surface of vitreous collagen fibrils and several Bottles/Triggers other SLRPs are also known to bind collagen fibrils and it some cases alter fibril

Gallium is used as a raw material SANDALS for a CIGS solar cell.In the manufacturing process of CIGS solar cells, only 30% of the target material is used, and the rest is not used and becomes a spent target scrap.In order to recover gallium from spent target scrap, we investigated the process composed of hydrometallurgical treatment only Gremlins w

Hypersaline environments are considered one of the most extreme habitats on earth and microorganisms have developed diverse molecular mechanisms of adaptation to withstand these conditions.The present study was aimed at identifying novel genes involved in salt resistance from the microbial communities of brines and the rhizosphere from the Es Trenc

EMScope, a component of the NSF Earthscope project, is installing a 70 km-spaced grid of long-period magnetotelluric stations across the USA.Rapid data quality control and generation of derived data products provides an SANDALS accessible resource openly available without charge or restriction through the IRIS Data Management Center and EMScope dat
