approach which rejected the predominant emphasis on politics diplomacy and war of many 19th and early 20thcentury historians as spearheaded by historians whom febvre called les sorbonnistes instead they pioneered an approach to a study of longterm historical structures la longue duree over events and political transformations geography material culture and what later annalistes called mentalites or the psychology of the epoch are also characteristic areas of study the goal of the annales was to undo the work of the sorbonnistes to turn french historians away from the narrowly political and diplomatic toward the new vistas in social and economic historycofounder marc bloch 1886 – 1944 was a quintessential modernist who studied at the elite ecole normale superieure and in germany serving as a professor at the university of strasbourg until he was called to the sorbonne in paris in 1936 as professor of economic history blochs interests were highly interdisciplinary influenced by the geography of paul vidal de la blache 1845 – 1918 and the sociology of emile durkheim 1858 – 1917 his own ideas especially those expressed in his masterworks french rural history les caracteres originaux de lhistoire rurale francaise 1931 and feudal society were incorporated by the secondgeneration annalistes led by fernand braudel georges duby a leader of the school wrote that the history he taught relegated the sensational to the sidelines and was reluctant to give a simple accounting of events but strove on the contrary to pose and solve problems and neglecting surface disturbances to observe the long and mediumterm evolution of economy society and civilisationthe annalistes especially lucien febvre advocated a histoire totale or histoire tout court a complete study of a historic problem bloch was shot by the gestapo during the german occupation of france in world war ii for his active membership of the french resistance and febvre carried on the annales approach in the 1940s and 1950s it was during this time that he mentored braudel who would become one of the bestknown exponents of this school braudels work came to define a second era of annales historiography and was very influential throughout the 1960s and 1970s especially for his work on the mediterranean region in the era of philip ii of spain braudel developed the idea often associated with annalistes of different modes of historical time lhistoire quasi immobile the quasi motionless history of historical'</li><li>'is important because the persuasiveness of a source usually depends upon its history primary sources may include cases constitutions statutes administrative regulations and other sources of binding legal authority while secondary legal sources may include books the headnotes of case reports articles and encyclopedias legal writers usually prefer to cite primary sources because only primary sources are authoritative and precedential while secondary sources are only persuasive at best family history a secondary source is a record or statement of an event or circumstance made by a noneyewitness or by someone not closely connected with the event or circumstances recorded or stated verbally either at or sometime after the event or by an eyewitness at a time after the event when the fallibility of memory is an important factor consequently according to this definition a firsthand account written long after the event when the fallibility of memory is an important factor is a secondary source even though it may be the first published description of that event autobiographies an autobiography can be a secondary source in history or the humanities when used for information about topics other than its subject for example many firsthand accounts of events in

william camden sir robert cotton john stow william lambarde richard carew and others this body existed until 1604 when it fell under suspicion of being political in its aims and was abolished by king james i papers read at their meetings are preserved in cottons collections and were printed by thomas hearne in 1720 under the title a collection of curious discourses a second edition appearing in 1771 in 1707 a number of english antiquaries began to hold regular meetings for the discussion of their hobby and in 1717 the society of antiquaries was formally reconstituted finally receiving a charter from king george ii in 1751 in 1780 king george iii granted the society apartments in somerset house and in 1874 it moved into its present accommodation in burlington house piccadilly the society was governed by a council of twenty and a president who is ex officio a trustee of the british museum the society of antiquaries of scotland was founded in 1780 and had the management of a

million by late 2021 the database contained over 5 million genome sequences as of december 2021 over 6 million sequences had been submitted by april 2022 there were 10 million sequences accumulated and in january 2023 the number had reached 144 millionin january 2020 the sarscov2 genetic sequence data was shared through gisaid throughout the first year of the covid19 pandemic most of the sarscov2 wholegenome sequences that were generated and shared globally were submitted through gisaid when the sarscov2 omicron variant was detected in south africa by quickly uploading the sequence to gisaid the national institute for communicable diseases there was able to learn that botswana and hong kong had also reported cases possessing the same gene sequencein march 2023 gisaid temporarily suspended database access for some scientists removing raw data relevant to investigations of the origins of sarscov2 gisaid stated that they do not delete records from their database but data may become temporarily invisible during updates or corrections availability of the data was restored with an additional restriction that any analysis based thereon would not be shared with the public the board of friends of gisaid consists of peter bogner and two german lawyers who are not involved in the daytoday operations of the organisation scientific advice to the organization is provided by its

fluid of animals is called serology once an antibody – reaction has taken place in a test other methods are needed to confirm this older methods included complement fixation tests hemagglutination inhibition and virus neutralisation newer methods use enzyme immunoassays eiain the years before pcr was invented immunofluorescence was used to quickly confirm viral infections it is an infectivity assay that is virus species specific because antibodies are used the antibodies are tagged with a dye that is luminescencent and when using an optical microscope with a modified light source infected cells glow in the dark pcr is a mainstay method for detecting viruses in all species including plants and animals it works by detecting traces of virus specific rna or dna it is very sensitive and specific but can be easily compromised by contamination most of the tests used in veterinary virology and medical virology are based on pcr or similar methods such as transcription mediated amplification when a novel virus emerges such as the covid coronavirus a specific test can be devised quickly so long as the viral genome has been sequenced and unique regions of the viral dna or rna identified the invention of microfluidic tests as allowed for most of these tests to be automated despite its specificity and sensitivity pcr has a disadvantage in that it does not differentiate infectious and noninfectious viruses and tests of cure have to be delayed for up to 21 days to allow for residual viral nucleic acid to clear from the site of the infection in laboratories many of the diagnostic test for detecting viruses are nucleic acid amplification methods such as pcr some tests detect the viruses or their components as these include electron microscopy and enzymeimmunoassays the socalled home or selftesting gadgets are usually lateral flow tests which detect the virus using a tagged monoclonal antibody these are also used in agriculture food and environmental sciences counting viruses quantitation has always had an important role in virology and has become central to the control of some infections of humans where the viral load is measured there are two basic methods those that count the fully infective virus particles which are called infectivity assays and those that count all the particles including the defective ones infectivity assays measure the amount concentration of infective viruses in a sample of known volume for host cells plants or cultures of bacterial or animal cells are used laboratory animals such as mice'</li><li>'vpx is a virionassociated protein encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 2 hiv2 and most simian immunodeficiency virus siv strains but that is absent from hiv1 it is similar in structure to the protein vpr that is carried by siv and hiv2 as well as hiv1 vpx is one of five accessory proteins vif vpx vpr vpu and nef carried by lentiviruses that enhances viral replication by inhibiting host antiviral factorsvpx enhances hiv2 replication in humans by counteracting the host factor samhd1 samhd1 is a host factor found in human myeloid cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages that restricts hiv1 replication by depleting the cytoplasmic pool of deoxynucleoside triphosphates needed for viral dna production samhd1 does not however restrict hiv2 replication in myeloid cells due to the presence of viral vpx vpx counteracts restriction by inducing the ubiquitinproteasomedependent degradation of samhd1 vpxmediated degradation of samhd1 therefore decreases deoxynucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis thereby increasing the availability of dntps for viral reverse transcription in the cytoplasm it has been postulated that samhd1 degradation is required for hiv2 replication because the hiv2 reverse transcriptase rt is less active than the hiv1 rt which would be the reason for the absence of vpx from hiv1 because vpx is required for hiv2 reverse transcription and the early stages of the viral life cycle it is packaged into virions in significant amountsvpx is also involved in the nuclear import of the hiv2siv genomes and associated proteins but the specific mechanisms and interactions are currently unknown although vpr and vpx are similar in size both are 100 amino acids with 2025 sequence similarity and structure both are predicted to have similar tertiary structure with three major helices they serve very different roles in viral replication vpx targets a host restriction factor for proteasomal degradation while vpr arrests the host cell cycle in the g2 phase however they are both involved in the import of the viral preintegration complex into the host nucleus'</li></ul> |

glucose molecules are added to the chains of glycogen as long as both insulin and glucose remain plentiful in this postprandial or fed state the liver takes in more glucose from the blood than it releases after a meal has been digested and glucose levels begin to fall insulin secretion is reduced and glycogen synthesis stops when it is needed for energy glycogen is broken down and converted again to glucose glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown for the next 8 – 12 hours glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel glucagon another hormone produced by the pancreas in many respects serves as a countersignal to insulin in response to insulin levels being below normal when blood levels of glucose begin to fall below the normal range glucagon is secreted in increasing amounts and stimulates both glycogenolysis the breakdown of glycogen and gluconeogenesis the production of glucose from other sources muscle glycogen appears to function as an immediate reserve source of available phosphorylated glucose in the form of glucose1phosphate for muscle cells glycogen contained within skeletal muscle cells are primarily in the form of β particles other cells that contain small amounts use it locally as well as muscle cells lack glucose6phosphatase which is required to pass glucose into the blood the glycogen they store is available solely for internal use and is not shared with other cells this is in contrast to liver cells which on demand readily do break down their stored glycogen into glucose and send it through the blood stream as fuel for other organsskeletal muscle needs atp provides energy for muscle contraction and relaxation in what is known as the sliding filament theory skeletal muscle relies predominantly on glycogenolysis for the first few minutes as it transitions from rest to activity as well as throughout highintensity aerobic activity and all anaerobic activity during anaerobic activity such as weightlifting and isometric exercise the phosphagen system atppcr and muscle glycogen are the only substrates used as they do not require oxygen nor blood flowdifferent bioenergetic systems produce atp at different speeds with atp produced'</li><li>'glycogen storage disease type i gsd i is an inherited disease that prevents the liver from properly breaking down stored glycogen which is necessary to maintain adequate blood sugar levels gsd i is divided into two main types gsd ia and gsd ib which differ in cause presentation and treatment there are also possibly rarer subtypes the translocases for inorganic phosphate gsd ic or glucose gsd id however a recent study suggests that the biochemical assays used to differentiate gsd ic and gsd id from gsd ib are not reliable and are therefore gsd ibgsd ia is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme glucose6phosphatase gsd ib a deficiency in the transport protein glucose6phosphate translocase because glycogenolysis is the principal metabolic mechanism by which the liver supplies glucose to the body during fasting both deficiencies cause severe hypoglycemia and over time excess glycogen storage in the liver and in some cases in the kidneys because of the glycogen buildup gsd i patients typically present with enlarged livers from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease other functions of the liver and kidneys are initially intact in gsd i but are susceptible to other problems without proper treatment gsd i causes chronic low blood sugar which can lead to excessive lactic acid and abnormally high lipids in the blood and other problems frequent feedings of cornstarch or other carbohydrates are the principal treatment for all forms of gsd i gsd ib also features chronic neutropenia due to a dysfunction in the production of neutrophils in the bone marrow this immunodeficiency if untreated makes gsd ib patients susceptible to infection the principal treatment for this feature of gsd ib is filgrastim however patients often still require treatment for frequent infections and a chronically enlarged spleen is a common side effect gsd ib patients often present with inflammatory bowel diseaseit is the most common of the glycogen storage diseases gsd i has an incidence of approximately 1 in 100000 births in the american population and approximately 1 in 20000 births among ashkenazi jews the disease was named after german doctor edgar von gierke who first described it in 1929 early research into gsd i identified numerous clinical manifestations falsely

treatment a technetium 99mlabeled macroaggregated albumin scan is performed to again confirm adequate hepatic perfusion and no misperfusion outside of the liver the complications of hai therapy can be divided into those related to the surgical placement of the pump technical catheterrelated complications and those related to the chemotherapeutic agents usedrelating to the surgical hai pump placement early postoperative complications consist of arterial injury leading to hepatic artery thrombosis inadequate perfusion of the entire liver due to the inability to identify an accessory hepatic artery extrahepatic perfusion to the stomach or duodenum or hematoma formation in the subcutaneous pump pocket late complications are more common and include inflammation or ulceration of the stomach or duodenum and pump pocket infectionthe most common catheter related complications include displacement of the catheter occlusion of the hepatic artery because of the catheter and catheter thrombosis these catheter related complications dont occur as frequently with increased surgical experience and with improvements in pump designthe most common toxicities caused by the chemotherapeutic agents were gastrointestinal symptoms chemical hepatitis and bone marrow inhibition it is important to note that the most serious and dose limiting complication of hai is hepatobiliary toxicity this occurs more commonly with fudr than any other chemotherapeutic agent patients undergoing hai therapy therefore have regular liver function tests to monitor any damage to the liver as previously mentioned studies have been carried out to come up with treatment algorithms to minimize this serious side effect it has been shown that adding leucovorin and fudr for infusion through the pump not only reduces the biliary toxicity of the drug but also increases the response rate however biliary sclerosis is not seen with hai using 5fu 5fu is associated with an increased risk of myelosuppression logically it would make sense to therefore consider alternating between hai fudr and hai 5fu'</li></ul> |

effect is seen in the northern hemisphere however in lower latitudes the direct effect of the suns radiation is greater so the freezethaw effect is seen but permafrost is much less widespread altitude – air temperature drops by approximately 1 °c for every 100 m rise above sea level this means that on mountain ranges modern periglacial conditions are found nearer the equator than they are lower down ocean currents – cold surface currents from polar regions reduce mean average temperatures in places where they exert their effect so that ice caps and periglacial conditions will show nearer to the equator as in labrador for example conversely warm surface currents from tropical seas increases mean temperatures the cold conditions are then found only in more northerly places this is apparent in western north america which is affected by the north pacific current in the same way but more markedly the gulf stream affects western europe continentality – away from the moderating influence of the ocean seasonal temperature variation is more extreme and freezethaw goes deeper in the centres of canada and siberia the permafrost typical of periglaciation goes deeper and extends further towards the equator similarly solifluction associated with freezethaw extends into somewhat lower latitudes than on western coasts periglaciation results in a variety of ground conditions but

from glaciers and ice sheets to learn of past climate conditions tree rings the width of tree rings can be used to reconstruct past climate conditions as trees grow more slowly in cooler temperatures tree ring data from the little ice age seems to prove a reduction in solar activityoverall the evidence suggests that the amount of solar radiation reaching the earths surface was slightly lower during the grindelwald fluctuation and this reduction in solar radiation is thought to have contributed to the expansion of the glaciers human activities such as deforestation and land use changes are known to negatively affect local climate patterns william ruddiman a palaeoclimatologist proposed the hypothesis that human activity has been affecting the earths climate for much longer than previously thought in particular ruddiman has argued that the early adoption of agriculture and landuse practices by human societies beginning around 8000 years ago led to the release of significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which may have contributed to the warming of the earths climateit is difficult to accurately assess the extent of depopulation that occurred during both the 1500s and 1600s as reliable population data from this period is limited however it is known that this period was one of significant upheaval and change with many regions experiencing significant population drops due to wars plagues famines and natural disasters the bubonic plague for instance killed between 75 and 200 million people in europe alone it is also believed that an onset of disease during the little ice age may have led to further depopulationthis decline in population meant that cultivated lands became unkempt allowing for the regrowth of wild plants this is perceived to be the cause for the drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the sixteenth century thus exacerbating the extreme cooling period however of the causes depopulation is the least significant in historical records the grindelwald fluctuation is characterised by a further drop in temperatures and more frequent cold spells throughout many parts of the world the more notable records written by a jacobean weather enthusiast in bristol chronicle some of the effects the weather fluctuation had on agriculture and society they specifically discuss food shortages and crop failures taking precedence throughout the

with only one placenta and bears a higher risk of complications during pregnancy abnormal placentation can lead to an early termination of pregnancy for example in preeclampsia as placentation often results during the evolution of live birth the more than 100 origins of live birth in lizards and snakes squamata have seen close to an equal number of independent origins of placentation this means that the occurrence of placentation in squamata is more frequent than in all other vertebrates combined making them ideal for research on the evolution of placentation and viviparity itself in most squamates two separate placentae form utilising separate embryonic tissue the chorioallantoic and yolksac placentae in species with more complex placentation we see regional specialisation for gas

strict epitheliochorial placentation eg pseudemoia entrecasteauxii however at least two examples of endotheliochorial placentation have been identified mabuya sp and trachylepis ivensi unlike eutherian mammals epitheliochorial placentation is not maintained by maternal tissue as embryos do not readily invade tissues outside of the uterus the placenta is an organ that has evolved multiple

the decidua they lose their ability to proliferate and become invasive this departure from the cell cycle seems to be due to factors such as tgfβ and decorin although these invasive interstitial cytotrophoblasts can no longer divide they retain their ability to form syncytia multinucleated giant cells small syncytia are found in the placental bed and myometrium as a result of the fusion of interstitial cytotrophoblastsinterstitial cytotrophoblasts may also transform into endovascular cytotrophoblasts the primary function of the endovascular cytotrophoblast is to penetrate maternal spiral arteries and route the blood flow through the placenta for the growing embryo to use they arise from interstitial cytotrophoblasts from the process of phenocopying this changes the phenotype of these cells from epithelial to endothelial endovascular cytotrophoblasts like their interstitial predecessor are nonproliferating and invasive proper cytotrophoblast function is essential in the implantation of a blastocyst after hatching the embryonic pole of the blastocyst faces the uterine endometrium once they make contact the trophoblast begins to rapidly proliferate the cytotrophoblast secretes proteolytic enzymes to break down the extracellular matrix between the endometrial cells to allow fingerlike projections of trophoblast to penetrate through projections of cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast pull the embryo into the endometrium until it is fully covered by endometrial epithelium save for the coagulation plug the most common associated disorder is preeclampsia affecting approximately 7 of all births it is characterized by a failure of the cytotrophoblast to invade the uterus and its vasculature specifically the spiral arteries that the endovascular cytotrophoblast should invade the result of this is decreased blood flow to the fetus which may cause intrauterine growth restriction clinical symptoms of preeclampsia in the mother are most commonly high blood pressure proteinuria and edema conversely if there is too much invasion of uterine tissue by the trophoblast then'</li></ul> |

circuit this is the occasion for the first appearance in platos dialogues of the prominent platonic doctrine that life is motion the soul being the principle or source of life is that which moves itself as opposed to inanimate objects that require an external source of motion to move them the view that life is selfmotion and that the soul is a selfmover is used by plato to guarantee the immortality of the soul making this a novel argument for the souls immortality not found in the phaedo plato relies further on the view that the soul is a mind in order to explain how its motions are possible plato combines the view that the soul is a selfmover with the view that the soul is a mind in order to explain how the soul can move things in the first place eg how it can move the body to

of writingmaxine hairston in a section on rogerian or nonthreatening argument in her textbook a contemporary rhetoric advised that one shouldnt start writing with a detailed plan in mind but might start by making four lists the others concerns ones own key points anticipated problems and points of agreement or common ground she gave a different version of young becker and pikes four phases which she expanded to five and called elements of the nonthreatening argument a brief and objective statement of the issue a neutrally worded analysis of the others position a neutrally worded analysis of ones own position a statement of the common aspects goals and values that the positions share and a proposal for resolving the issue that shows how both sides may gain she said that the rogerian approach requires calm patience and effort and will work if one is more concerned about increasing understanding and communication than about scoring a triumph in a related article she noted

named for the roman satirist horace 65 – 8 bce playfully criticizes some social vice through gentle mild and lighthearted humour horace quintus horatius flaccus wrote satires to gently ridicule the dominant opinions and philosophical beliefs of ancient rome and greece rather than writing in harsh or accusing tones he addressed issues with humor and clever mockery horatian satire follows this same pattern of gently ridiculing the absurdities and follies of human beingsit directs wit exaggeration and selfdeprecating humour toward what it identifies as folly rather than evil horatian satires

deposition of nonvolatile fragments onto a nearby substrate the electron beam is usually provided by a scanning electron microscope which results in high spatial accuracy potentially below one nanometer and the possibility to produce freestanding threedimensional structures the focused electron beam of a scanning electron microscope sem or scanning transmission electron microscope stem is commonly used another method is ionbeaminduced deposition ibid where a focused ion beam is applied instead precursor materials are typically liquid or solid and gasified prior to deposition usually through vaporization or sublimation and introduced at accurately controlled rate into the highvacuum chamber of the electron microscope alternatively solid precursors can be sublimated by the electron beam itself when deposition occurs at a high temperature or involves corrosive gases a specially designed deposition chamber is used it is isolated from the microscope and the beam is introduced into it through a micrometresized orifice the small orifice size maintains differential pressure in the microscope vacuum and deposition chamber no vacuum such deposition mode has been used for ebid of diamondin the presence of the precursor gas the electron beam is scanned over the substrate resulting in deposition of material the scanning is usually computercontrolled the deposition rate depends on a variety of processing parameters such as the partial precursor pressure substrate temperature electron beam parameters applied current density etc it usually is in the order of 10 nms primary electron energies in sems or stems are usually between 10 and 300 kev where reactions induced by electron impact ie precursor dissociation have a relatively low cross section the majority of decomposition occurs via low energy electron impact either by low energy secondary electrons which cross the substratevacuum interface and contribute to the total current density or inelastically scattered backscattered electrons primary stem electrons can be focused into spots as small as 0045 nm while the smallest structures deposited so far by ebid are point deposits of 07 nm diameter deposits usually have a larger lateral size than the beam spot size the reason are the socalled proximity effects meaning that secondary backscattered and forward scattered if the beam dwells on already deposited material electrons contribute to the deposition as these electrons can leave the substrate up to several microns away from the point of impact of the electron beam depending on its energy material deposition is not necessarily confined to the irradiated spot to overcome this problem compensation algorithms can be applied which is typical for electron beam lithography as of 2008

methods — invented and published by mingyue he and michael taussig in 2001 — involve onchip synthesis of proteins as and when required directly from the dna using cellfree protein expression systems since dna is a highly stable molecule it does not deteriorate over time and is therefore suited to longterm storage this approach is also advantageous in that it circumvents the laborious and often costly processes of separate protein purification and dna cloning since proteins are made and immobilised simultaneously in a single step on the chip surface examples of in situ techniques are pisa protein in situ array nappa nucleic acid programmable protein array and dapa dna array to protein array there are three types of protein microarrays that are currently used to study the biochemical activities of proteins analytical microarrays are also known as capture arrays in this technique a library of antibodies aptamers or affibodies is arrayed on the support surface these are used as capture molecules since each binds specifically to a particular protein the array is probed with a complex protein solution such as a cell lysate analysis of the resulting binding reactions using various detection systems can provide information about expression levels of particular proteins in the sample as well as measurements of binding affinities and specificities this type of microarray is especially useful in comparing protein expression in different solutions for instance the response of the cells to a particular factor can be identified by comparing the lysates of cells treated with specific substances or grown under certain conditions with the lysates of control cells another application is in the identification and profiling of diseased tissues reverse phase protein microarray rppa involve complex samples such as tissue lysates cells are isolated from various tissues of interest and are lysed the lysate is arrayed onto the microarray and probed with antibodies against the target protein of interest these antibodies are typically detected with chemiluminescent fluorescent or colorimetric assays reference peptides are printed on the slides to allow for protein quantification of the sample lysates rpas allow for the determination of the presence of altered proteins or other agents that may be the result of disease specifically posttranslational modifications which are typically altered as a result of disease can be detected using rpas functional protein microarrays also known as target protein arrays are constructed by immobilising large

prokaryote chromosomes contain a circular dna molecule – there are no free ends to the dna free ends would otherwise create significant challenges to cells with respect to dna replication and stability cells that do contain chromosomes with dna ends or telomeres most eukaryotes have acquired elaborate mechanisms to overcome these challenges however a circular chromosome can provide other challenges for cells after replication the two progeny circular chromosomes can sometimes remain interlinked or tangled and they must be resolved so that each cell inherits one complete copy of the chromosome during cell division the circular bacteria chromosome replication is best understood in the wellstudied bacteria escherichia coli and bacillus subtilis chromosome replication proceeds in three major stages initiation elongation and termination the initiation stage starts with the ordered assembly of initiator proteins at the origin region of the chromosome called oric these assembly stages are regulated to ensure that chromosome replication occurs only once in each cell cycle during the elongation phase of replication the enzymes that were assembled at oric during initiation proceed along each arm replichore of the chromosome in opposite directions away from the oric replicating the dna to create two identical copies this process is known as bidirectional replication the entire assembly of molecules involved in dna replication on each arm is called a replisome at the forefront of the replisome is a dna helicase that unwinds the two strands of dna creating a moving replication fork the two unwound single strands of dna serve as templates for dna polymerase which moves with the helicase together with other proteins to synthesise a complementary copy of each strand in this way two identical copies of the original dna are created eventually the two replication forks moving around the circular chromosome meet in a specific zone of the chromosome approximately opposite oric called the terminus region the elongation enzymes then disassemble and the two daughter chromosomes are resolved before cell division is completed the e coli origin of replication called oric consists of dna sequences that are recognised by the dnaa protein which is highly conserved amongst different bacterial species dnaa binding to the origin initiates the regulated recruitment of other enzymes and proteins that will eventually lead to the establishment of two complete replisomes for bidirectional replicationdna sequence elements within oric that are important for its function include dnaa boxes a 9mer repeat with a highly'</li><li>'the second step of this process has recently fallen into question for the past few decades the common view was that a trimeric multiheme ctype hao converts hydroxylamine into nitrite in the periplasm with production of four electrons 12 the stream of four electrons is channeled through cytochrome c554 to a membranebound cytochrome c552 two of the electrons are routed back to amo where they are used for the oxidation of ammonia quinol pool the remaining two electrons are used to generate a proton motive force and reduce nadp through reverse electron transportrecent results however show that hao does not produce nitrite as a direct product of catalysis this enzyme instead produces nitric oxide and three electrons nitric oxide can then be oxidized by other enzymes or oxygen to nitrite in this paradigm the electron balance for overall metabolism needs to be reconsidered nitrite produced in the first step of autotrophic nitrification is oxidized to nitrate by nitrite oxidoreductase nxr 2 it is a membraneassociated ironsulfur molybdo protein and is part of an electron transfer chain which channels electrons from nitrite to molecular oxygen the enzymatic mechanisms involved in nitriteoxidizing bacteria are less described than that of ammonium oxidation recent research eg woznica a et al 2013 proposes a new hypothetical model of nob electron transport chain and nxr mechanisms here in contrast to earlier models the nxr would act on the outside of the plasma membrane and directly contribute to a mechanism of proton gradient generation as postulated by spieck and coworkers nevertheless the molecular mechanism of nitrite oxidation is an open question the twostep conversion of ammonia to nitrate observed in ammoniaoxidizing bacteria ammoniaoxidizing archaea and nitriteoxidizing bacteria such as nitrobacter is puzzling to researchers complete nitrification the conversion of ammonia to nitrate in a single step known as comammox has an energy yield ∆g° ′ of −349 kj mol−1 nh3 while the energy yields for the ammoniaoxidation and nitriteoxidation steps of the observed twostep
