Lascar Volcano (5592 m; 2322'S, 6744'W) entered a new period of vigorous activity in 1984,
culminating in a major explosive eruption in April 1993. Activity since 1984 has been …

Natural transformation is a dominant force in bacterial evolution by promoting horizontal
gene transfer. This process may have devastating consequences, such as the spread of …

Membrane proteins reside in lipid bilayers and are typically extracted from this environment
for study, which often compromises their integrity. In this work, we ejected intact assemblies …

The great spatial and temporal variability of auroral ionospheric conductivity significantly
influences the ionospheric closure path for high‐latitude, field‐aligned currents. Because these …

Eight days of synoptic data from the Chatanika incoherent scatter radar have been analyzed
in an attempt to determine the characteristic morphology of auroral zone energy deposition …

The HIV-1 viral infectivity factor (Vif) protein recruits an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, comprising
the cellular proteins elongin B and C (EloBC), cullin 5 (Cul5) and RING-box 2 (Rbx2), to …

CDC7 is a serine/threonine kinase that is essential for the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication.
CDC7 activity is controlled by its activator, DBF4. Here we present crystal structures of …

Recent applications of mass spectrometry (MS) to study membrane protein complexes are
yielding valuable insights into the binding of lipids and their structural and functional roles. To …

Functional amyloids can be found in the extracellular matrix produced by many bacteria
during biofilm growth. They mediate the initial attachment of bacteria to surfaces and provide …

The East Java Sea Basin is underlain by a metamorphic basement complex. Subsidence of
this basement during the Late Cretaceous resulted in accumulation of up to 3 km of marine …
