Development of the signal in sensory rhodopsin and its transfer to the cognate transducer
Article Abstract:
X-ray structures of the photocycle intermediates K and late M explaining the evolution of the signal in the receptor after retinal isomerization and the transfer of the signal to the transducer in the complex are described. The observed structural rearrangements allow to propose a new mechanism that disconnects to two helices of the receptor and in the late M state an altered tertiary structure establishes the signaling state of the receptor.

From vortices to genomics
Article Abstract:
Superconductors can exclude magnetic fields from their interior if the applied field does not exceed a critical value Hc. Bolle and colleagues have observed the kinetics and thermodynamics of individual vortex lines in a planar type-II superconductor, and a range of discrete events near to the lower critical field Hc1. These events are responses to changes in the ambient conditions.

Manipulating spin and charge in magnetic semiconductors using super conducting vortices
Article Abstract:
The way in which most of the operations can be performed in a simple manner in a hybrid system consisting of a super conducting film and a paramagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) quantum well is stated. It further states the progress in manipulating magnetic flux bundles in superconductors and show how these can create, manipulate and control the spin textures in DMSs.
