Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Longâ€term strength and deformational analysis of reinforced concrete columns
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2004 The paper presents a method of nonâ€linear analysis of loadâ€carrying capacity and deformations of reinforced concrete columns subjected to longâ€term loads. Physical relationships expressing nonâ€linear relations between internal forces and stresses,

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Вестник КазНУ. Серия математика, механика, информатика, 2018 The links of high-speed mechanisms and manipulators are deformed under the action of inertia forces and external loads. These deformations have significantly influence on the accuracy of execution of the required law of motion by the operating point of
