Lagrangian embeddings and critical point theory [PDF]
We derive a lower bound for the number of intersection points of an exact Lagrangian embedding of a compact manifold into its cotangent bundle with the zero section. To do this the intersection problem is converted into the problem of finding solutions of a Hamiltonian system satisfying canonical boundary conditions.

Dimeric pyruvate formate‐lyase cleaves pyruvate using a radical‐based mechanism. G734 serves as a radical storage location, and the radical is transferred to the catalytic C419 residue. Mutation of the C418‐C419 pair causes loss of enzyme activity, but does not impede radical introduction onto G734. Therefore, cis‐ but not trans‐radical transfer occurs

Existence of homoclinic orbits for a class of nonlinear functional difference equations
By using critical point theory, we prove the existence of a nontrivial homoclinic orbit for a class of nonlinear functional difference equations. Our conditions on the nonlinear term do not need to satisfy the well-known global Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Periodic solutions for second order delay Duffing equation via critical point theory
This article concerns the periodic problem of second order delay Duffing equation with cross resonance condition. Using critical point theory and homotopy methods, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions.

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Morse Thoery of Saddle Point Reduction with Applications
In this paper, we demonstrate that when saddle point reduction is applicable, there is a clear relationship between the Morse index and the critical groups before and after the reduction.

Sandwich pairs in critical point theory [PDF]
Since the development of the calculus of variations there has been interest in finding critical points of functionals. This was intensified by the fact that for many equations arising in practice the solutions are critical points of functionals. If a functional G is semibounded, one can find a Palais-Smale (PS) sequence G(u k ) → a, G'(u k ) → 0. These
