TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of a contiguous 2,181,032 base pairs in the central gene cluster of chromosome III is completed, and comparison with the public sequence databases reveals similarities to previously known genes for about one gene in three.
Journal ArticleDOI
Actin and Actin-Binding Proteins. A Critical Evaluation of Mechanisms and Functions
Thomas D. Pollard,John A. Cooper +1 more
TL;DR: The present study focuses on the development of binding proteins that bind to the sides of ACTIN FILAMENTS and their applications in the context of nanofiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI
