A sequence of complex HMB conformational changes is required for insulin to bind to the insulin receptor.Recent experimental evidence points to the B chain C-terminal (BC-CT) as the location of these changes in insulin.Here, we present molecular dynamics simulations of insulin that reveal new insights into the structural changes occurring in the BC
The present study investigated 37 serum samples of non-human primates in Assam State Zoo and the Department of Forest and Environment, Govt.of Assam for seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus infection during the period from December, 2007 to November, 2009.Four serum samples were also collected from animal keepers of the zoo to investigate transmissi

BackgroundMicrobial communities in floral nectar have been shown to be characterized by low levels of species diversity, yet little is known about among-plant population variation in microbial community composition.Methodology/principal findingsWe investigated the microbial community structure (yeasts and bacteria) in floral nectar of ten fragmente
