Proteomic approach to understanding the maternal effect in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Progeny of the flesh fly Sarcophaga bullata exposed to short day length show a maternal effect that prevents the expression of pupal diapause.Although ecological aspects of this effect are well studied, not enough is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this maternal effect.In this study, two-dimensional electrophoresis was performed to

The energy computation paradox and ab initio protein folding.

The routine prediction of three-dimensional protein structure from sequence remains a challenge in computational biochemistry.It has been intuited that calculated energies Metal Grinder from physics-based scoring functions are able to distinguish native from nonnative folds based on previous performance with small proteins and that conformational s
