A High Sensitivity FBG Strain Sensor Based on Flexible Hinge [PDF]
For the purpose of improving the sensitivity of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based strain sensor. A novel FBG-based strain sensor with high sensibility was designed by means of a flexible hinge bridge displacement magnification structure.

The exomer cargo adaptor features a flexible hinge domain. [PDF]
Exomer is a cargo adaptor that mediates the sorting of specific plasma membrane proteins into vesicles at the trans-Golgi network. Cargo adaptors must bind to multiple partners, including their cargo, regulatory proteins, and the membrane surface. During biogenesis of a vesicle, the membrane makes a transition from a relatively flat surface to one of ...

Design and Analysis of Flexible Hinge Used for Unfolding Spacecraft Solar Panels [PDF]
Two stiffness models for a flexible hinge with a large rotation angle are established based on the pseudo-rigid body method and the series or parallel relationship of flexible units.

A Compact Three-Dimensional Two-Layer Flexible Hinge
The paper proposes a new three-dimensional flexible hinge formed of several serially linked straight- and circular-axis segments that are disposed of in two layers. The novel hinge configuration is capable of large displacements and can be implemented in

Fast Hinge Detection Algorithms for Flexible Protein Structures [PDF]
Analysis of conformational changes is one of the keys to the understanding of protein functions and interactions. For the analysis, we often compare two protein structures, taking flexible regions like hinge regions into consideration. The Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) is the most popular measure for comparing two protein structures, but it is only

Mechanistic insights into a cold-adapted glucokinase with high thermal stability were revealed by site-directed spin labeling ESR [PDF]
The structural flexibility of enzymes plays an essential role in determining their catalytic efficiency and thermal stability. Cold-adapted enzymes are typically highly flexible, resulting in high catalytic activity but low stability.

Extracellular-Regulated Kinase 2 Is Activated by the Enhancement of Hinge Flexibility [PDF]
Protein motions underlie conformational and entropic contributions to enzyme catalysis; however, relatively little is known about the ways in which this occurs. Studies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK2 (extracellular-regulated protein kinase 2) by hydrogen-exchange mass spectrometry suggest that activation enhances backbone flexibility at ...
