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.

Efficient evaluation of parameterized pattern queries [PDF]

Proceedings of the 14th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management, 2005
Many applications rely on sequence databases and use extensively pattern-matching queries to retrieve data of interest. This paper extends the traditional pattern-matching expressions to parameterized patterns, featuring variables. Parameterized patterns are more expressive and allow to define concisely regular expressions that would be very complex to

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
