A farewell to arms

Article Abstract:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase, an enzyme complex, consists of a group of 24 identical lipoyl attachment domains placed at the vertices of a truncated cube. The complex is derived from a model of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase that can receive copies of two different enzymes, Elp and E3, due to the lack of arms consisting of amino-terminal 381 amino acids of 638-residue E2p subunit. The model allows lipoyl-containing arms to move, transporting substrates from different catalytic sites and thus permitting each site to carry out its reaction.

Genderese

Article Abstract:

English words we use to define people often have a masculine history and connotation. Mankind, congressman, businessman, and freshman are some examples. Finding gender-neutral words to replace such words can be difficult, and there are seldom appropriate feminine alternatives. Some feel that the quest for gender equality in language goes too far, and makes language awkward.
