Selective and Precise Editing of Digital Polymers Through Parallel or Series Toehold‐Mediated Strand Displacement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequence‐encoded supramolecular construct containing two accessible toeholds is developed herein for enabling multiple editing operations. By introducing specific input strands, it is possible to selectively erase or rewrite digital content through parallel or series toehold‐mediated strand displacement (PTMSD or STMSD).

Serum concentrations of complement C3 and C4 in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine
Background High concentrations of complement factors are presented in serum of animal epilepsy models and human patients with epilepsy. Objectives To determine whether complement dysregulation occurs in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE).

Levels of complement C3 and C4 components in Amerindians living in an area with high prevalence of tuberculosis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
The levels of complement C3 and C4 components were determined in non-indigenous (creoles) and indigenous (Warao) populations, the latter with an extremely high tuberculosis (TB) rate.

Estimation error for blind Gaussian time series prediction [PDF]

, 2011
We tackle the issue of the blind prediction of a Gaussian time series. For this, we construct a projection operator build by plugging an empirical covariance estimation into a Schur complement decomposition of the projector. This operator is then used to

Role of Histidine‐Containing Peptoids in Accelerating the Kinetics of Calcite Growth

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic histidine‐containing peptoids mimic carbonic anhydrase (CA) to accelerate calcite step growth. In the presence of Zn2+, they promote the deprotonation of HCO3−, the desolvation of Ca2+, and the reorganization of interfacial hydration layers, thereby reducing the activation barrier for calcite growth.

Rapid activation of the complement system by cuprophane depends on complement component C4 [PDF]

Kidney International, 1998
Hemodialysis with cuprophane dialyzer membranes promotes rapid activation of the complement system, which is thought to be mediated by the alternative pathway. Complete hereditary deficiency of complement C4, a classical pathway component, in two hemodialysis patients provided the opportunity to investigate a possible role of the classical pathway.

Predicting Atomic Charges in MOFs by Topological Charge Equilibration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An atomic charge prediction method is presented that is able to accurately reproduce ab‐initio‐derived reference charges for a large number of metal–organic frameworks. Based on a topological charge equilibration scheme, static charges that fulfill overall neutrality are quickly generated.

Plasma C4 level was associated with mortality, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in hemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2022
Background Patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) exhibit a high risk of death, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs). Previous studies indicated complement activation associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in HD ...

Effect of thiol compounds on human complement component C4 [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1993
Thiol compounds have been investigated as inhibitors of the covalent binding reaction of human complement protein C4 using Sepharose-C1s as a combined activating and binding surface. o- and p-substituted aminothiophenols are equally effective inhibitors, whereas the m-substituted compound is a less potent inhibitor. The anti-hypertensive drug captopril

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...
