Reliability of the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations in resting state fMRI in chronic schizophrenia [PDF]
The resting state amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in functional magnetic resonance imaging has been shown to be reliable in healthy subjects, and to correlate with antipsychotic treatment response in antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia patients.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Dynamic changes of amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuations in patients with generalized anxiety disorder [PDF]
AbstractPrevious neuroimaging studies have mainly focused on alterations of static and dynamic functional connectivity in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). However, the characteristics of local brain activity over time in GAD are poorly understood.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

CORRELATION BETWEEN AMPLITUDE AND FREQUENCY FLUCTUATIONS OF SPONTANEOUS OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS
The normalized cross-correlation function between the amplitude and frequency fluctuations of 11 spontaneous otoacoustic emissions was measured. A significant correlation was found in seven subjects. The correlation coefficient ranged from -0.37 to +0.65

We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Regional amplitude of the low-frequency fluctuations at rest predicts word-reading skill
Individuals' reading skills are critical for their educational development, but variation in reading skills is known to be large. The present study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the role of spontaneous brain activity at rest in individual differences in reading skills in a large sample of participants (N=263 ...

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Yoga reduces the brain’s amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations in patients with early psychosis
We present the functional MRI study from a randomized clinical trial (RCT) investigating the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise on neuro-cognition in female patients with early psychosis. Local spontaneous neuronal fluctuations at rest, measured by the
