US court orders GMO betteraves destroyed (AFP)

WASHINGTON (AFP)-a federal judge refused to extend this policy to the first ever put a genetically modified culture in the United States, he said, this sugar modifié betteraves planted illegally.

US district judge Jeffrey white in California that granting a suspension of the preliminary Tuesday the Center for food safety and other groups, where sugar beet crops Monsanto who produced planted by good review.

He was delayed implementation of orders until December 7 to allow time for calls.

White said he was ruling '' is a significant risk to permit them Valley according to speaking environmental handle. "

He added that despite efforts to avoid contamination pollinisation grain, you there is no guarantee that a GMO crops would not affect other plants.

He said some example of contamination and '' incidents have for this Court to declare to permit these provide support only to protect the environment. "

Paul Achitoff of Earthjustice, attorneys for the plaintiffs, said the US Department of agriculture, whose name was John défendeur distributed to permit "thumbed his nose in the judicial system and the public do not allow that the grain cultivées without any environmental review."

In issue is planting named betteraves ready rally that allows the agro-alimentaire great Monsanto rally, herbicide use, do not threaten the increase of

The Center actively opposed to biotech crops, said the case was first a judge ordered to death Valley.

Protein folding via charge zippers

Jan. 18, 2013 — Membrane proteins are the "molecular machines" in biological cell envelopes. They control diverse processes, such as the transport of molecules across the lipid membrane, signal transduction, and photosynthesis. Their shape, i.e. folding of the molecules, plays a decisive role in the formation of, e.g., pores in the cell membrane. In the journal Cell, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Cagliari are now reporting a novel charge zipper principle used by proteins to form functional units. "It is fascinating to see the elegant basic principles that are used by nature to construct molecular assemblies," explains Anne Ulrich, Director of the KIT Institute for Biological Interfaces. "A charge zipper between the charged side chains is an entirely unexpected mechanism used by membrane proteins to neutralize their charges such that they can be immersed into hydrophobic cell membranes....
