What is Ldr: Definition and 25 Discussions

RdlD RNA (regulator detected in LDR-D) is a family of small non-coding RNAs which repress the protein LdrD in a type I toxin-antitoxin system. It was discovered in Escherichia coli strain K-12 in a long direct repeat (LDR) named LDR-D. This locus encodes two products: a 35 amino acid peptide toxin (ldrD) and a 60 nucleotide RNA antitoxin. The 374nt toxin mRNA has a half-life of around 30 minutes while rdlD RNA has a half-life of only 2 minutes. This is in keeping with other type I toxin-antitoxin systems.Northern blots showed that ldrD and rdlD are both transcribed and primer extension analysis showed the rdlD transcript is not translated.
Homologues exist in related Enterobacteriaceae such as Salmonella enterica and Shigella boydii. The Ldr peptide genes that have been discovered are thought to have evolved from a common ancestor.

    LDR circuit electricity question

    So far what i figured out is that R2 and R3 are in parallel, R1 and LDR in parallel. And these two parallel circuits are parallel to each other ( tell me if I am wrong) The voltmeter has to read 0 but I am not sure how i can achieve that. Is there a rule where when the resistance of each side...

    Selective Incident Headlight Intensity Measurement

    Hey guys, I am trying to come up with an idea to measure incident intensity of headlights from an oncoming car for one of my uni projects. This wasn't specifically assigned project topic, we get to choose what we want to do. It's my Instrument and Measurement unit, and I had this idea thought it...

    Creating a Line Following Robot with Arduino and Mindstorms: A Six Sigma Project

    I'm looking to build an Arduino that is capable of following a line depending on a colored strip on the ground, either black or white. I think I might use a LDR, but not quite sure where to even start to be honest. My office is having an Arduino contest, and I just want the Arduino to carry...

    Transistor Logic Gate : NOT Gate Explanation?

    Hi everyone. I would like to ask about this light sensor using not gate circuit. I use LDR as an input and a LED as an output. I have tried this circuit in Proteus, and it works. When the LDR 'off', LED turns on, and vice versa. But i don't really understand about the working principle of this...

    Extremely low on resistance LDR?

    I need a variable AC attenuator and the only thing I can think of is an LDR. However I would need the on resistance to be very low, less than 10 ohms. I've only found LDRs with on resistances of 100ohms minimum. Is it possible to go lower than the listed minimum is I use a really really bright...

    The affect of changing Light intensity on Resistance due to LDR

    I've got an experiment coming up where I have to find out how the resistance in a circuit changes as more layers of 'tracing paper' are added onto a LDR i.e. as more paper is added the light intensity will fall and as a result the resistance through the circuit will increase. I am testing for...
