Improved performance of quantum cascade lasers through a scalable, manufacturable epitaxial-side-down mounting process.

abstract：:Protein prenylation with farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moieties is an important posttranslational modification that affects the activity of such diverse proteins as the nuclear lamins, the yeast mating factor mata, and the ras oncogene products. In this article, we show that whole retinal cultures incorporate radioactive...
