Functional and structural characterization of an ECF-type ABC transporter for vitamin B12.

abstract：:Massed synchronised neuronal firing is detrimental to information processing. When networks of task-irrelevant neurons fire in unison, they mask the signal generated by task-critical neurons. On a macroscopic level, such synchronisation can contribute to alpha/beta (8-30 Hz) oscillations. Reducing the amplitude of the...

Achieving accuracy is challenging, as the molecular signals that dictate a protein's cellular destination are often promiscuous.
