Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Effect of numerical parameters on plastic CTOD [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2017 Fatigue crack growth (FCG) is associated with irreversible and non-linear processes happening at the crack tip. This explains different problems observed in the use of da/dN-?K curves, namely the inability to explain stress ratio and load history effects.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

Large strain field near a crack tip in a rubber sheet [PDF]
, 2001 The distribution of stress-strain near a crack tip in a rubber sheet is investigated by employing the constitutive relation given by Gao (1997). It is shown that the crack tip field is composed of two shrinking sectors and one expanding sector.

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2021 Nanoscale defects, including cracks, circular holes, and the triangular-shaped defects, often occur in the growth of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS). In this study, the fracture behavior of chiral BNNS with different crack-tip shapes and the interactions

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have unique advantages in capturing the details of the crack tip deformation at the atomic scale. As the accuracy of simulation results is heavily dependent on the selected interatomic potential, a comprehensive study ...

The Crack Tip: A Nanolab for Studying Confined Liquids [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We study the equilibrium properties of a liquid phase condensed at the nanoscale between the surfaces of a sharp crack in fused silica in a moist controlled atmosphere. The extension of the condensed phase along the fracture is measured by in situ atomic force microscopy phase imaging and it is shown to be determined by a critical distance between the ...

Identification of the plant mitochondrial OrfX protein: A mass spectrometry approach
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The mitochondrial genome of plants contains an open reading frame, orfx, which encodes a rare protein that has so far escaped mass spectrometric detection. The protein resembles the c‐subunit of bacterial twin‐arginine‐motif‐dependent protein translocases (TatC).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Crack Tip Fields with Strain Gradient Effects [PDF]
, 2002 In this paper, a kind of strain gradient theory proposed by Chen and Wang (2001) is briefly introduced and is used to analyze the crack tip field in homogeneous materials and interface crack tip field with the help of finite element methods.
