"Alternating B-DNA" conformation for the oligo(dG-dC) duplex in high-salt solution.

abstract：:Over the past five decades, ultra high vacuum (uhv) techniques applied to well-defined single-crystal samples (the "surface science paradigm") have transformed our understanding of fundamental surface chemistry. To translate this success to the world of realistic heterogeneous catalysis, however, requires one seriousl...

abstract：:Invasive potentials of carcinomas greatly contribute to their metastasis, which is a major threat in most cancers. We have recently shown that Arf6 plays a pivotal role in breast cancer invasive activities and identified AMAP1 as an effector of GTP-Arf6 in invasion. Expression of AMAP1 correlates well with invasive ph...
