A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Kondo proximity effect: How does a metal penetrate into a Mott insulator?

open access: yes, 2008
We consider a heterostructure of a metal and a paramagnetic Mott insulator using an adaptation of dynamical mean field theory to describe inhomogeneous systems. The metal can penetrate into the insulator via the Kondo effect.

THEORY OF CRITICAL DISTANCES AND THE THICKNESS OF THE SURFACE LAYER

open access: yes, 2023
The theory of critical distances is based on the strength of materials L, which is given by its strength properties KIc and σ0. We have shown that the thickness of the surface layer R(I) is equal to the nanocrack length Lnm. We have shown that there is a relationship between L and Lnm: L = 104 Lnm = 104 R(I) ≈ 10-5 М/ρ.

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

Quantum structural phase transition in chains of interacting atoms

open access: yes, 2010
A quasi one--dimensional system of trapped, repulsively interacting atoms (e.g., an ion chain) exhibits a structural phase transition from a linear chain to a zigzag structure, tuned by reducing the transverse trap potential or increasing the particle ...

Notched multiaxial fatigue of Al7050-T7451: on the need for an equivalent process zone size [PDF]

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2017
The aim of this work is to investigate stress gradient effects on the fatigue life estimation of notched Al 7050-T7451 specimens under combined torsion and push-pull loading conditions.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Criticality in inhomogeneous magnetic systems: Application to quantum ferromagnets

open access: yes, 2007
We consider a $\phi^4$-theory with a position-dependent distance from the critical point. One realization of this model is a classical ferromagnet subject to non-uniform mechanical stress.

Quantum geometry of 2d gravity coupled to unitary matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We show that there exists a divergent correlation length in 2d quantum gravity for the matter fields close to the critical point provided one uses the invariant geodesic distance as the measure of distance.

Nicolai Hartmanns Critical Ontology and the Critical Realism of the Berlin School of Gestalt Psychology

open access: yesGestalt Theory, 2019
The author exemplifies the congruency of essential foundations between the critical realism of the Berlin School of Gestalt Psychology (Gestalt theory) and Nicolai Hartmann’s Critical Ontology.
