Phylogenetic differences in content and intensity of periodic proteins [PDF]
Many proteins exhibit sequence periodicity, often correlated with a visible structural periodicity. The statistical significance of such periodicity can be assessed by means of a chi-square-based test, with significance thresholds being calculated from ...

Genetic Characterization of Bacillus anthracis 17 JB strain
Background and Objectives: Bacillus anthracis is one of the most homogenous bacteria ever described. Bacillus anthracis 17JB is a laboratory strain. It is broadly used as a challenge strain in guinea pigs for potency test of anthrax vaccine. Material and

Sugar-based bactericides targeting phosphatidylethanolamine-enriched membranes
Bacillus anthracis causes the infectious disease anthrax. Here, the authors synthesized deoxy glycosides that are effective against B. anthracis and related bacteria and found that these amphiphilic compounds kill bacteria via an unusual mechanism of ...

Prediction Stability in a data-based mechanistic model of sigmaF during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Mathematical modeling of biological networks can help to integrate a large body of information into a consistent framework, which can then be used to arrive at novel mechanistic insight and predictions. We have previously developed a detailed, mechanistic model for the regulation of {\sigma}F during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. The model was based

We modeled the ecological niche of a globally successful Bacillus anthracis sublineage in the United States, Italy and Kazakhstan to better understand the geographic distribution of anthrax and potential associations between regional populations and ...

Salvage enzymes in nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
Balanced pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA, and ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), the precursors of RNA, are crucial for a controlled cell proliferation.

Patients' request for and emergency physicians' prescription of antimicrobial prophylaxis for anthrax during the 2001 bioterrorism-related outbreak [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Inappropriate use of antibiotics by individuals worried about biological agent exposures during bioterrorism events is an important public health concern.

Sequencing of 16S rRNA Gene: A Rapid Tool for Identification of Bacillus anthracis
In a bioterrorism event, a tool is needed to rapidly differentiate Bacillus anthracis from other closely related spore-forming Bacillus species. During the recent outbreak of bioterrorism-associated anthrax, we sequenced the 16S rRNA generom these ...
