Junction structure

When cells lie adjacent to each other in animal tissues, they are often connected by gap junction structures, which permit the passive flow of small molecules from one cell to the other. Such junctions essentially connect the cells metabolically, providing a means of chemical transfer and communication. In certain tissues, such as heart muscle that is not innervated, gap junctions permit very large numbers of cells to act synchronously. Gap junctions also provide a means for transport of nutrients to cells disconnected from the circulatory system, such as the lens cells of the eye. [Pg.320]

Special structural features may be found at junctions between different types of DNA, e.g., between A-DNA and B-DNA.284-286 However, the most interesting junctions are branched.287 29° For example, Fig. 5-28 shows a four-way junction in which all of the bases form Watson-Crick pairs. This junction is better known as a Holliday junction because it was proposed by Holliday in 1964 as an intermediate in genetic recombination.291 As shown at the top of Fig. 5-28A the junction is formed from two homologous DNA duplexes. These are identical except for the boxed and shaded base pairs. The ends of the first duplex are marked I and II and those of the second III and IV. The Holliday junction appears to arise by cleavage of one strand of each duplex with rejoining of the strands as indicated by the green arrows. Rotation gives the untwisted Holliday junction structure... [Pg.228]

Gap junctions are formed from hexagonal arrays of a rod-shaped protein. Arrays in the membranes of adjacent cells line up to form intercellular channels that can transmit small molecules from cell to cell in some tissues. (Source Adapted from L. Makowski, D. L. D.

In the case of ring-fused systems the cis/trans notation is used to designate the geometric nature of the ring junction. Structures (25) and (26) represent partial structures of the ring-fused compounds (13) and (14) respectively, which emphasise that the ring junctions utilise cis- or frans-orientated bonds. [Pg.8]

In 1981 an efficiency of 7.5% was obtained for a p-i-n structure (3.3 mm2) in which the p layer was a boron-doped silicon-carbon-hydrogen alloy (a-Si C H) (Tawada et al., 1981). A further improvement in conversion efficiency to 8.5% was obtained in 1982 with a stacked junction structure (9 mm2) that utilized an amorphous silicon-germanium-hydrogen alloy (a-Si Ge H) in the back junction of three stacked p-i-n junctions (Nakamura et al., 1982). More recently, an efficiency of 10.1% has been achieved in a p-i-n structure (1.2 cm2) utilizing p-type a-Si C H as a window layer (Catalano et al., 1982). [Pg.8]

One more interesting structure, also representing an unusual metal-binding center, is the DNA cruciform (or four-way junction) structure. This type of structure results from rearrangement of palindromes (inverted repeat sequences) and may be formed reversibly under certain conditions (e.g. to relax strain in supercoiled DNA). The relative efficiency of different divalent metal ions in promoting the formation of DNA cruciform structures is Mg + > Mn + > Co + >... [Pg.3167]
