Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are evolutionarily conserved machines that couple their folding/assembly to membrane fusion.However, it is unclear how these processes are regulated and function.To determine these mechanisms, we characterized the folding energy and kinetics of four representative SNARE
Are Tourists Facilitators of the Movement of Free-Ranging Dogs?
Dogs are the most abundant carnivores on earth and, as such, negatively impact wildlife.Free-ranging dogs roam in many protected areas, which in turn are often tourist destinations.Whether tourists influence their roaming is largely unexplored but highly relevant to wildlife conservation.To address this question, we obtained (i) 81 completed questi
Tracking the allocation of attention using human pupillary oscillations
The muscles that control the pupil are richly innervated by the autonomic nervous system.While there are central pathways that drive pupil dilations in relation to arousal, there is no anatomical evidence that cortical centers involved with visual selective attention innervate the pupil.In this study, we show that such connections must exist.Specif
Chemical physics: The standing of a mature discipline
Abstract It is always promising and enticing to start a new editorial task in the scientific arena and the launch of the Chemistry Central Journal is no exception.The different thematic sections making up this journal are quite representative of anodized pearl price xbox the whole chemistry enterprise.However, one of them has a special relevance.In
