A role for Arf1 in mitotic Golgi disassembly, chromosome segregation, and cytokinesis.

abstract：:Ab initio and density functional calculations have been carried out to more fully understand the factors controlling the catalytic activity of the Thermus aquaticus DNA methyltransferase (MTaqI) in the N-methylation at the N(6) of an adenine nucleobase. The noncatalyzed reaction was modeled as a methyl transfer from t...
