Heterotrimeric G-protein activation by an agonist-stimulated G-protein coupled receptor (R*) requires the propagation of structural signals from the receptor interacting surfaces to the guanine nucleotide-binding pocket. Employing high-resolution NMR

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) has been working on a healthcare mobility system capable of mobilizing wheelchair dependents, providing patient lift and even rehabilitation. Targeted at the aging
An biofilm reactor was constructed that allows for real-time monitoring of the growth and removal of biofilms by monitoring the response of a quartz crystal mircrobalance (QCM) and a novel method of measuring the reflectance of light off the surface of the

The scope of this project covers the storing of result data produced by generic laboratory devices during processing of analytical experiments, together with the data describing the examination methods and the audit trail using the AnIML (Analytical
The use of standards in gene expression measurements with DNA microarrays is ubiquitousthey just are not yet the kind of standards that have yielded microarray gene expression profiles that can be readily compared across different studies and different
