No "big trips" for the universe [PDF]
Phys.Lett.B647:309-312,2007, 2007 It has been claimed in several papers that a phantom energy-dominated universe can undergo a ``big trip'', i.e., tunneling through a wormhole that grows faster than the cosmic substratum due to the accretion of phantom energy, and will reappear on the other mouth of the wormhole.

Different activities of antitumor immunomodulators to induce neutrophil adherence response.
Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics, 2019 Functions of neutrophils, major participant in host defense mechanisms, are known to be regulated by various types of immunomodulators. Capacity of immunomodulators which are reported to show antitumor effect in vivo to induce neutorophil adherence ...

Petrologic-geochemical evidence of geologic-genetic uniformity of gold hydrothermal deposits formed in black-shale and non-shale substratum [PDF]
, 2007 The problem of gold deposits origin lying in crystal and black-shale substratum is discussed. The expediency of comparative research of all geologic-real-genetic factors of their formation, among which a significant value is retained by the geochemical ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In modular polyketide synthases, the dehydratase (DH) domain catalyzes the dehydration reaction of the β‐hydroxyacyl unit attached to the cognate acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain. However, it is unclear how DH interacts with ACP during the reaction. In this study, we identified DH–ACP interface residues, providing the first detailed insights into DH ...

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.
