| Abstract | We have investigated by use of placental membranes the mechanisms through which insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) comes to be associated with its alpha 2 beta 2 receptor heterotetramer. Our results suggest that (i) at low ligand concentrations, the formation and disruption of IGF-I--receptor complexes are consistent with ligand binding de novo to empty receptors but not with equilibria involving ligand dissociation; (ii) at higher ligand concentrations, rapid exchange arising from the formation and collapse of bis-liganded receptors leads to a transiently perturbed receptor state; (iii) these nonclassical IGF-I receptor interactions depend on close communication between the alpha beta halves of the alpha 2 beta 2 holo-IGF-I receptor; and (iv) related processes based on ligand exchange have the potential for serving as biological sensors of changes in ligand concentration, while ordinary binding processes serve as sensors of ligand concentrations themselves. A model is presented in which one or two molecules of ligand can be bound to an alpha 2 beta 2 IGF-I receptor heterotetramer, new ligand becomes associated with receptor by exchanging for a previously bound molecule of IGF-I, and fluctuating changes in free-ligand concentration might lead to enhanced IGF-I function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
