motor protein (medicine) and Shang dynasty (sh)


motor protein (medicine)


motor protein
<protein> Proteins that bind ATP and are able to move on a suitable substrate with concomitant ATP hydrolysis.

most eukaryotic motor proteins move by binding to a specific site on either actin filaments (myosin) or on microtubules (dynein, kinesin). They are normally elongated molecules with two active binding sites although some kinesin analogues have a single site.

The distal end of the molecule normally binds adaptor proteins that enable them to make stable interactions with membranous vesicles or with filamentous structures, which then constitute the cargo to be moved along the substrate filament.


Shang dynasty (sh)




or Yin dynasty

Traditionally, the second of China's dynasties, following the Xia dynasty.

Until excavations in the 20th century provided archaeological evidence for the Xia, the Shang was the first verifiable Chinese dynasty. Dates for its founding vary; traditionally its rule was said to have spanned 1766-1122 BC, but more recently the range has been given as งใ 1600-1046 BC. Shang society was stratified: it included a king, local governors, nobles, and the masses, who engaged in agriculture. The Shang developed a 12-month, 360-day calendar with intercalary months added as necessary. The Chinese Writing system began to develop; numerous records and ceremonial inscriptions survive. Surviving artifacts include musical instruments, superb bronze vessels, pottery for ceremonial and daily use, and jade and ivory ornaments. Cowrie shells were used as currency.
