Indeed, if prey use generalized cues to assess risk and if they have evolved with any predators, they appear to be pre-adapted to recognize a broad range of exotic predators (Blumstein 2006).
These 2 types of designer nucleases are composed of a programmable module that can be adapted to recognize specific genomic sequences, and a non-specific DNA cleavage domain.
A new study of the monkey brain suggests that primates are uniquely adapted to recognize snakes and react in a flash.
Also known as a monobody, FN3 has been adapted to recognize the c-Abl SH2 domain (resulting in the FN3-HA4 variant used in this study) as well as more than two dozen other targets, including tumor necrosis factor α, hSUMO4, and epidermal growth factor receptor.
A new study of the monkey brain suggests that primates are uniquely adapted to recognize the features of this slithering threat and react in a flash.
The NCRs represent a unique example for proteins that have acquired such a broad specificity and are highly adapted to recognize cancer cells.
As aptamer selection strategies allow RNA switches to be readily adapted to recognize new small molecules, these RNA-based screening techniques are applicable to a broad range of enzymes and metabolic pathways.
A senior NATO official said that discussions about night raids had been held with Mr. Karzai, and that tactics had been adapted to recognize his sensitivity, including using Afghan partners.
The acoustic model, representing the acoustic language expression, can be adapted to recognize specific speech traits of the individual users.
This is likely an example of convergent evolution where different proteins have been adapted to recognize common ligands.
Recent work has also identified that contemporary North American lineage subtype H7 viruses, isolated in 2002 03, are partially adapted to recognize α2 6 linked sialic acids, which are the receptors preferred by human influenza viruses and found in the human upper respiratory tract (34 ).
