Field Theoretic Study of Bilayer Membrane Fusion: II. Mechanism of a Stalk-Hole Complex [PDF]
We use self-consistent field theory to determine structural and energetic properties of intermediates and transition states involved in bilayer membrane fusion.

Alternative pathways to sustainable seafood [PDF]
AbstractSeafood certifications are a prominent tool being used to encourage sustainability in marine fisheries worldwide. However, questions about their efficacy remain the subject of ongoing debate. A main criticism is that they are not well suited for small‐scale fisheries or those in developing nations.

Structural Basis of Fosmidomycin Action Revealed by the Complex with 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate Synthase (IspC): implications for the catalytic mechanism and anti-malaria drug development [PDF]
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate synthase (IspC) is the first enzyme committed to isoprenoid biosynthesis in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, which represents an alternative route to the classical mevalonate pathway.

Complement protein levels in plasma astrocyte-derived exosomes are abnormal in conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease dementia. [PDF]
IntroductionLevels of complement proteins (CPs) in plasma astrocyte-derived exosomes (ADEs) that are abnormal in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have not been assessed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI).MethodsParticipants (n = 20 per group) had either MCI ...

Mammalian EAK-7 activates alternative mTOR signaling to regulate cell proliferation and migration. [PDF]
Nematode EAK-7 (enhancer-of-akt-1-7) regulates dauer formation and controls life span; however, the function of the human ortholog mammalian EAK-7 (mEAK-7) is unknown.

Alternative Wnt Pathways and Receptors [PDF]
In addition to activating β-catenin/TCF transcriptional complexes, Wnt proteins can elicit a variety of other responses. These are often lumped together under the denominator "alternative" or "non-canonical" Wnt signaling, but they likely comprise distinct signaling events.

Is There an Alternative Pathway for Starch Synthesis? [PDF]
In leaf tissue, carbon enters starch via the gluconeogenesis pathway where d-glycerate 3-phosphate formed from CO(2) fixation is converted into hexose monophosphates within the chloroplast stroma. In starch-containing sink organs, evidence has been obtained indicating that the flow of carbon into starch follows a different pathway whereby hexose ...

Alternative pathway for atmospheric particles growth [PDF]
Credible climate change predictions require reliable fundamental scientific knowledge of the underlying processes. Despite extensive observational data accumulated to date, atmospheric aerosols still pose key uncertainties in the understanding of Earth’s radiative balance due to direct interaction with radiation and because they modify clouds ...
