Monti Cook

Posizione dei monti Cook nella Terra di Oates.

I monti Cook sono un gruppo montuoso dell'Antartide. Situato in particolare nella Terra di Oates, e in particolare in corrispondenza della costa di Hillary, davanti alla barriera di Ross, il gruppo, che fa parte della più vasta catena dei monti Transantartici, si estende in direzione nord-sud per circa 85 km e in direzione est-ovest per circa 60. Il gruppo, la cui vetta più elevata risulta essere quella del monte Longhurst, che arriva a 2846 m s.l.m., è delimitato a nord dal flusso del ghiacciaio Mulock, che lo separa dalla dorsale Worcester, a ovest dall'Altopiano Antartico, a sud dal flusso del ghiacciaio Darwin, che lo separa dai monti Churchill, e a est dalla barriera di Ross.
All'interno del gruppo montuoso sono presenti diverse dorsali e sottocatene, tra cui spicca la dorsale Conway, tra le quali scorrono grandi ghiacciai, tra cui i più grandi sono il Carlyon e il Bertoglio.^[1]

Storia

Molte delle vette più alte dei monti Cook sono state avvistate dalla barriera di Ross durante la spedizione Discovery, condotta negli anni 1901-04 dal capitano Robert Falcon Scott. Dopo una parziale mappatura effettuata durante la spedizione Fuchs-Hillary, condotta nel 1955-1958, l'intera formazione fu mappata da membri dello United States Geological Survey (USGS) grazie a fotografie aeree scattate dalla marina militare statunitense (USN) nel periodo 1960-62, e così battezzata dal Comitato neozelandese per i toponimi antartici in onore del capitano James Cook, famoso esploratore, navigatore e cartografo britannico.^[2]

Flippase

Category of enzyme Structure of a flippase, showing the two major subunits of the enzyme. Flippases are transmembrane lipid transporter proteins located in the cell membrane. They are responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two layers, or leaflets, that compose the membrane (transverse diffusion, also known as a flip-flop transition). Flippases move lipids to the cytosolic layer, usually from the extracellular layer. Floppases do the opposite, moving lipids t...
