This new condition allows us to design technology that could function as an interface between people and the city.
Molecular immobilization is a way of making a set molecules function as an interface.
Cytokine receptors function as an interface between a cell and the extracellular milieu, and play a pivotal role in cell fate, because they recognize specific ligands via their extracellular domain and trigger signal transduction via their intracellular domain.
COMMD1 is a member of a family defined by the presence of a conserved and unique motif named the COMM domain, which functions as an interface for protein-protein interactions [11].
The latter were exposed to the solvent (see Fig. 4 panels D and F and supplementary data material Figure S1, compare panels G/H) and might function as an interface region for docking the AprBA enzyme to the AprM protein that anchors the dissimilatory APS reductase to the membrane and enables its physical contact to the yet unknown electron receptor.
Mediator is an evolutionarily conserved multi-protein complex which functions as an interface between gene-specific transcription factors and RNA polymerase II (Borggrefe and Yue, 2011).
The CSN complex contains eight subunits, is found in the cytoplasm and nucleus of all mammalian cells, and appears to function as an interface between signal transduction pathways and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis [ 1].
The thalamus functions as an interface between alertness, cognition, and the effects of light [ 17], anatomically connecting with the frontal, temporal and cerebral cortex (except for the olfactory system), cerebellum, and basal ganglia.
Because epigenetic mechanisms may function as an interface between environmental factors and the genome [ 3], deregulation of the epigenome by environmental stressors (for example, hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, chronic alcohol intake, and aflatoxins) is believed to disrupt cellular processes and contribute to the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
OMPs play fundamental roles in Gram-negative bacteria functioning as a dynamic interface between the cell and the surrounding environment.
