Abstract:
This paper intends to provide a glimpse of the within-the-fence activity of a major chlorine, caustic soda and chlorinated hydrocarbons manufacturing complex, immediately before and during the 2 weeks following Hurricane Rita. The paper touches on the basics, covering "preparation," "perseverance" and "powering up again" as this chemical complex began to return to normal. There are expected and unexpected things that a significant hurricane can impact, and you may wonder how your organization would fare.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
