Conjugative Mating Assays for Sequence-specific Analysis of Transfer Proteins Involved in Bacterial Conjugation
Published on: January 4, 2017
Abstract:
A workshop on transfer factor, sponsored by the Immunology, Allergic and Immunologic Diseases Program of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, was held in Bethesda, Maryland, on February 25, 1981. The purpose of the meeting was two-fold: (1) to review the state of the art of transfer factor and (2) to suggest future directions for research in this area, specifically in regard to the prophylactic use of transfer factor for varicella-zoster in leukemic children.

Facilitated Transport
Membrane Transporters
Transporters are mainly composed of alpha-helices, built from bundles of ten or more helices traversing the plasma membrane. The solute-binding sites are located midway, where some of the helices are broken or distorted, making space for the binding site through...

Facilitated Diffusion
In this process, substrates such as organic compounds and ions interact with a transporter on one side, triggering conformational changes in proteins that enable...
