abstract：:The geometries are reported for interacting arginine-carboxyl pairs obtained from 37 high resolution protein structures solved to a resolution of 2.0 A or better. The closest interatomic distance between the guanidinium and carboxyl is less than 4.2 A for 74 arginine and carboxyl groups, with the majority of these lyi...

abstract：:Syntabulin is a microtubule-associated protein that mediates anterograde transport of vesicles to neuronal processes. Here, we found that syntabulin was expressed in mouse pancreas and insulin-secreting β-cells, and that it partially co-localized with microtubule and insulin-containing granules. The association of syn...
