The totally asymmetric exclusion process with extended objects, a model for protein synthesis [PDF]
The process of protein synthesis in biological systems resembles a one dimensional driven lattice gas in which the particles have spatial extent, covering more than one lattice site. We expand the well studied Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process (TASEP), in which particles typically cover a single lattice site, to include cases with extended objects ...

Aggregation-Induced Synthesis (AIS): Asymmetric Synthesis via Chiral Aggregates
A new chiral aggregate-based tool for asymmetric synthesis has been developed by taking advantage of chiral aggregates of GAP (Group-Assisted Purification) reagents, N-phosphonyl imines.

Asymmetric enzyme kinetics of F1-ATPase induced by rotation-assisted substrate binding [PDF]
We demonstrate asymmetric enzyme kinetics of a biomolecular motor F1-ATPase between synthesis and hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Our experiments show that ATP hydrolysis follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, but ATP synthesis, which is an F1-ATPase's primary biological role, deviates from it. Specifically, the synthesis rate is sustained even

Fourier synthesis of optical potentials for atomic quantum gases [PDF]
We demonstrate a scheme for the Fourier synthesis of periodic optical potentials with asymmetric unit cells for atoms. In a proof of principle experiment, an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate is exposed to either symmetric or sawtooth-like asymmetric potentials by superimposing a conventional standing wave potential of $\lambda/2$ spatial periodicity ...

Optimized Asymmetric Synthesis of Umuravumbolide
Herein, the asymmetric synthesis of umuravumbolide (1) is described. The new approach features highly stereoselective transformations (dr ≥ 95:5) to install both stereocenters and the Z olefin, which involve a new radical alkylation, an Ando olefination, and a Krische allylation on a Z allylic alcohol, not reported before.

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Stereocontrolled asymmetric synthesis [PDF]
Abstract Stereo differentiated asymmetric syntheses have been achieved by S-indoline derivations. Diels-Alder cycloadditions of S-indoline chiral acrylamides with cyclopentadiene proceed with high diastereofacial selectivity, giving either endo-R or endo-S products depending on Lewis acid and the structures of chiral dienophiles ...

A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...
