DNA Recombination and Repair—A New Twist to RecA Function
Molecular motors harness the energy of ATP (or GTP, a related energy currency) and transform it into mechanical force. Well-known examples of motors include myosin and dynein, proteins that use ATP to ferry intracellular cargo along fibers made of actin or tubulin proteins. The ATP-dependent assembly of actin or tubulin fibers itself can work as a motor: for instance, the march of white blood cel...Scientists develop malaria forecasting tool to predict disease risk
A new tool to predict epidemics of malaria up to five months in advance has been developed by a scientist at the University of Liverpool. The model uses predictions of climate variability to indicate the level of risk of an epidemic up to five months in advance of the peak malaria season ?the earliest point at which predictions have ever been made. The model will assist doctors and health...Gene chips forecast ecological impacts of climate change
