Computational Insights Into Serine and DHMA Binding to the Tsr Chemoreceptor of Escherichia Coli
(2015-09-25)
3,4-Dihydroxymandelic Acid (DHMA) has been reported to attract Escherichia coli by binding to the serine-binding sites of the bacteria’s Tsr chemoreceptor. Signaling via the Tsr chemoreceptor may promote the growth and ...
Solitude: A Human Condition
(2018-04-24)
Solitude is a condition that affects everyone. Even more than this, the vocabulary we use to describe solitude varies from loneliness to isolation to alienation, but in its essence, solitude refers to the different physical, ...
