n→π* interactions favour contacts between α helix and PPII while dipole dipole interactions are frequent between β sheet and PPII and long-range backbone H-bonds bridge α helix and β sheet conformations [103], [104].
Even in "simple" proteins like lysozyme c there are many indications of compensating short-range mutations in long-range backbone flexibility between human and chicken realizations, separated by 400 million years of evolution [ 7, 9].
Two broad-host-range backbones are routinely used for complementation in G. sulfurreducens.
The focal area of this earthquake was mainly located in the Ou backbone range parallel to the range extension (Okada et al., 2008).
According to this model, catabolic gene clusters assemble in a modular manner into broad-host-range plasmid backbones by means of repeated chromosomal capture events.
These results indicate that, in the northern part of the focal area, the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku Earthquake occurred along the range-bounding fault, which is located at the eastern margin of the Ou backbone range.
The backbone range of the Ōu Mountains forms the major climatic boundary of the region.
To the south, the Backbone Range descends abruptly in a steep escarpment to the Kibi Plateau.
The Backbone Range constitutes a sharp divide between the Sea of Japan and the Inland Sea, broken only by the gorge of the Gōno River in the west.
Ōu Mountains, Japanese Ōu-sammyaku, range forming the backbone of northeastern Honshu, Japan, and extending for 310 miles (500 km) south from Aomori ken (prefecture) to Fukushima ken.
The Iwami Plateau, lying to the north of the Backbone Range, is narrower and more dissected than the Kibi Plateau, except in the Akiyoshi Plateau area in the west, where karst topography occurs in some places.
