Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Damage in porous media due to salt crystallization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between the two salts is directly related to the kinetics of crystallization and ...

Comparison Study on the Residual Excess Pore Water Pressure Observed in seabed [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Korean navigation and port research, 2013
The interaction among wave, seabed and marine structure is an important issue in coastal engineering as well as geotechnical engineering. Understanding variations of stresses and pore water pressures generated in seabed induced by waves is important for civil engineers who have to design the foundation for various marine structures and verify the ...

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Large-scale shaking table tests on the liquefaction and deformation responses of an ultra-deep overburden

open access: yesOpen Geosciences
To study the liquefaction problem of the dam foundation of an ultra-deep overburden in the strong earthquake area, a large-scale shaking table model test is carried out based on a 500 m rockfill dam project on an ultra-deep overburden.

Prediction of Excess Pore Water Pressure during Undrained Heating of Clays

open access: yes, 2015
This paper focuses on the prediction of thermally-induced excess pore water pressure generation in saturated clays during undrained heating. This study involves an analysis of experimental data presented in the literature for normally consolidated clays with different mineralogical compositions.

Evidence for excess pore‐water pressure generated in subglacial sediment: Implications for clast ploughing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2005
Pore water pressure in front of an object pulled through subglacial sediment and water pressure at the base of a borehole were simultaneously recorded at Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, to investigate the generation of excess pore pressures downglacier from ploughing clasts.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Pore size distribution and supercritical hydrogen adsorption in activated carbon fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Pore size distributions (PSD) and supercritical H_2 isotherms have been measured for two activated carbon fiber (ACF) samples. The surface area and the PSD both depend on the degree of activation to which the ACF has been exposed.
