Recent examples include droids that mimic the cheetah's stride or the legs of velociraptor.
Examples of such "on" mutations are those substitutions that mimic activation loop phosphorylations, whereas examples of "off" mutations include those that alter catalytically essential residues of kinases, or residues in SH2 domains that are critical for phospho-tyrosine binding.
Following Nature example, chemists have designed manganese complexes that mimic the protecting action of the superoxide dismutases (SOD), metalloenzymes that catalyze the conversion of superoxide radical to the less toxic oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.
His team has been working on making systems that mimic natural ion channels, for example, but much bigger so that they can transport entire molecules.
To create a Neuromorphic system designed to find examples of images stored in a massive database using systems that "mimic human nervous systems".
Data entering is performed through five online forms that mimic the original paper questionnaires, to facilitate the insertion task (see examples of two forms in Figure 1).
The energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, and therefore the reaction is thermodynamically unfavorable, except through the action of light in conjunction with a catalyst [36] or a chromophoric system, for example, that mimics what occurs in plants [37].
In his mind, the best new desks are those that mimic the proportions of your old desk, because we tend to work the same way — distribute the same arrangements of piles, for example — regardless of what we're working on.
Many Heliconine species exist as pairs that mimic one another.
There is at least one previous example of a protein that mimics heparin, binds laminin, behaves as a basement membrane protein and binds prion, i.e. acetylcholine esterase [ 43].
