For example, in a memory retrieval task, phase alignment of alpha-band activity significantly contributed to generation of the P1 component and phase alignment of (mainly) theta-band activity contributed to generation of the N1 component (Gruber et al. 2005).
The coevolution of stacked residues in protein alpha helices, identifiable computationally and supported by double-mutant studies, makes alignments of alpha helices useful for comparing techniques for detecting coevolution.
Here we establish this for phase alignment of visual alpha in the human brain, and for its impact on conscious perception, for the first time.
Multiple sequence alignment of 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzymes from different species.
Alignments of the alpha helical regions of complexin across 16 species from seven phyla using Clustal Omega multiple sequence alignment.
The multiple protein alignment of human albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, and afamin was performed using ClustalW (Larkin et al. 2007).
This is likely the result of alpha phase alignments to the consecutive beeps while processing a visual stimulus, but taps onto a very similar mechanism as the one triggered by actual presentation of consecutive flashes, hence modifying our conscious experience.
Additional file 5: Figure 5. Maximum likelihood (ML) tree inferred from a 34-taxon alignment of AtpA (Atp synthase CF1 alpha chain) sequences (427 unambiguously aligned amino acids) using the PROTGAMMA model in RAxML.
Therefore, based on the analyses performed using ClustalX and Mothur, the authors chose not to neglect these differences when defining the OPFs. Figure 6 Phylogenetic tree based on the alignment of amino acid sequences of the alpha subunit of soluble di-iron monooxygenases from clones from P soil sample and related sequences from the database.
Several lines of arguments indicate that at least a fraction of P1 equals synchronized alpha oscillations: (1) P1 latency and period of alpha oscillation are approximately 100 ms, (2) P1 is predicted by phase alignment in alpha (Gruber et al., 2005) and (3) similar time domain of alpha oscillations and attentional blink (Hanslmayr et al., 2011).
