A protein at equilibrium is commonly thought of as a fully relaxed structure, with the intra-molecular interactions showing fluctuations around their energy minimum.In contrast, here we find direct evidence for a protein as a molecular tensegrity structure, comprising a balance of tensed and compressed interactions, a concept that has been put forw
PURPOSE: There is a high level of over-referral from primary eye care leading to significant numbers of people without ocular pathology (false positives) being referred to secondary eye care.The present study used a psychometric instrument to determine whether there is a psychological burden on patients due to referral to secondary eye care, and us
The low digestibility of fiber in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) limits dry matter intake and energy availability in ruminant animal production systems.Previously, alfalfa plants were identified for low or high rapid (16 h) and low or high potential (96 h) in vitro neutral Garbage/Recycling Container Dollies detergent fiber digestibility (IVNDFD) of
The Pet Steps organization of cells, emerging from cell-cell interactions, can give rise to collective properties.These properties are adaptive when together cells can face environmental challenges that they separately cannot.One particular challenge that is important for microorganisms is migration.In this study, we show how flagellum-independent
ABSTRACT Salinity is an important abiotic RESCUE REMEDY stress affecting plant growth.We have known that plants can recruit beneficial microbes from the surrounding soil.However, the ecological functions of the core microbiome in salt-tolerant plants, together with their driving factors, remain largely unexplored.Here, we employed both amplicon and
