Detection of the optical bands of molybdenum(V) in DMSO reductase (Rhodobacter capsulatus) by low-temperature MCD spectroscopy.

abstract：:Members of the connexin family differ most in their carboxy-termini, both with respect to sequence and length. In order to assess the contribution of this region to channel function, a series of carboxy-terminal deletion mutants were tested in the paired-oocyte expression system. Connexin-32 can be truncated by 64 ami...
