A phosphorylated recognition motif that promotes recognition of a protein for degradation. Multiple weak motifs can support regulated recognition.

A Bravais lattice with mutually perpendicular primitive vectors of lengths , with . A chemically ordered L10 crystal structure has this translation lattice even when drawn using a larger four-site cell that resembles a distorted FCC conventional cell.
William Bertozzi compared electron time-of-flight speeds with independently measured kinetic energies using electrostatic and linear acceleration. The 1964 report covers 0.5–15 MeV and uses calorimetry to check deposited energy. Speed approaches the light-speed limit while energy continues rising, testing relativistic energy against an unrestricted Newtonian extrapolation.[ref]
For a long flexible polymer in a good solvent, a tensile blob of size contains statistical segments. Aligning blobs gives . The three-dimensional Flory approximation gives the displayed power. The regime requires : below its force range the coil has ordinary linear response, and above it finite link extension matters. Numerical amplitudes depend on solvent quality and segment conventions.[ref]

Changing between permissive and restrictive temperatures at defined stages tests when a conditional gene product is required. Reciprocal shifts and short pulses separate initiation from maintenance, subject to inactivation kinetics and protein perdurance.

Erroneous placement toward the base of a lineage when loss of diagnostic characters through carcass decay is interpreted as an ancestral biological absence. Coding unobservable characters as unknown and comparing preservation across specimens can reduce the problem.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.

  4. Infinitely deep tables of contents:

    Descendant pages can also show up as toplevel e.g.: ourbigbook.com/cirosantilli/chordate-subclade
