    Raw mass spectrometry Thermo data from "Systematic approach for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in bacteria"

    No full text
    This contains all Thermo .raw files. The LacI target purification experiments were performed on a nanoflow LC system, EASY-nLC II coupled to a hybrid linear ion trap Orbitrap Classic mass spectrometer equipped with a Nanospray Flex Ion Source (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All other measurements were performed on a hybrid ion trap-Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), which provided greater detection sensitivity and other fragmentation techniques as described. The Orbitrap was operated in data-dependent acquisition mode to automatically alternate between a full scan (m/z=400–1,800) in the Orbitrap (resolution 120,000) and subsequent 5 MS/MS scans also acquired in Orbitrap with 15,000 resolution. The MS/MS spectra were acquired for the top 5 ions alternating between higher collision dissociation (HCD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) fragmentations that are well suited for higher charge peptides. Higher collision dissociation was performed at a normalized collision energy of 30% and electron transfer dissociation reaction time was set to 100 msec.Related Publication: Systematic approach for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in bacteria Nathan Belliveau Caltech Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2018-05-04 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1722055115 engContact person: Rob Phillips [email protected]

    No full text
    What are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues

    The Molecular Switch: Signaling and Allostery/ Rob Phillips ; illustrated by Nigel Orme.

    No full text
    4.4.1 Adaptation by HandA signature feature of living organisms is their ability to carry out purposeful actions by taking stock of the world around them. To that end, cells have an arsenal of signaling molecules linked together in signaling pathways, which switch between inactive and active conformations. The Molecular Switch articulates a biophysical perspective on signaling, showing how allostery--a powerful explanation of how molecules function across all biological domains--can be reformulated using equilibrium statistical mechanics, applied to diverse biological systems exhibiting switching behaviors, and successfully unify seemingly unrelated phenomena.Rob Phillips weaves together allostery and statistical mechanics via a series of biological vignettes, each of which showcases an important biological question and accompanying physical analysis. Beginning with the study of ligand-gated ion channels and their role in problems ranging from muscle action to vision, Phillips then undertakes increasingly sophisticated case studies, from bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing to hemoglobin and its role in mammalian physiology. He looks at G-protein coupled receptors as well as the role of allosteric molecules in gene regulation. Phillips concludes by surveying problems in biological fidelity and offering a speculative chapter on the relationship between allostery and biological Maxwell demons.Appropriate for graduate students and researchers in biophysics, physics, engineering, biology, and neuroscience, The Molecular Switch presents a unified, quantitative model for describing biological signaling phenomena.Cover -- Contents -- Preface -- PART I: THE MAKING OF MOLECULAR SWITCHES -- 1.

    Letter from Hubert Phillips to American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, enclosing checks for $57 from F. C. Kellogg, Arthur E. Geschke, Claus Bertelsen, and Hubert Phillips. The letter states that the checks represent "the contributions of about twenty-five people made at a dinner held here recently to consider the phases of the status of citizens of Japanese ancestry and is to be applied specifically to helping prosecute the case of Miss Mitsuye Endo. Mr. F. C. Kellogg of the Fowler High School faculty was the author of the idea and deserves the credit for raising the enclosed contribution."The ACLU-Northern California case file records contain legal documents and correspondence pertaining to the case Ex parte Mitsuye Endo (1944), in which the United States Supreme court unanimously ruled that the federal government could not indefinitely detain United States citizens who were loyal to the government. Files include documents related to the Gordon Hirabayashi Supreme Court case Hirabayashi v. United States
