Self-assembling porphyrin-modified peptides

[structure: see text] We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel supramolecular assembly that features long-range electronic coupling between porphyrins covalently attached to a designed peptide scaffold. The resulting construct self-assembles to form extended organized aggregates in which the porphyrins engage in exciton coupling.

Representations of algebras in varieties generated by infinite primal algebras

If \({\mathcal{A}}\) is an infinite primal algebra, then we shall represent any algebra in the variety \({V\,(\mathcal{A}}\) ) generated by \({\mathcal{A}}\) as a limit reduced power of \({\mathcal{A}}\) . Furthermore, we show that any homomorphism between algebras in \({V\,(\mathcal{A}}\) ) can be induced by mappings between underlying sets of the limit reduced powers. With this representation of the morphisms between algebras in \({V\,(\mathcal{A}}\) ) at hand, we will construct a category equivalent to the category \({V\,(\mathcal{A}}\) ).     

Structure and ultrastructure of spermatozoa of Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

The spermatozoa of Chrysomya megacephala are similar to those described for other Brachycera. In this species, the spermatozoa are long and thin, measuring about 590 μm in length, of which the head region measures approximately 60 μm. The head includes a monolayered acrosome with electron-lucid material, and the shape of the nucleus, in cross-sections, varies from circular to oval with completely condensed chromatin. The centriole was observed in the zone of flagellar implantation, below the “peg” region. In the region of overlap, the followings structures are observed: nucleus, centriolar adjunct, mitochondrial derivatives and axoneme. The two mitochondrial derivatives are of different lengths but similar diameter. The axoneme is of a conventional insectan type with a 9 + 9 + 2 microtubular arrangement, with accessory tubules flanked by the electron-dense intertubular material. The male internal reproductive tract consists of testis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, accessory glands and ejaculatory duct.
