The bending of cell sheets - from folding to rolling [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2011 The bending of cell sheets plays a major role in multicellular embryonic morphogenesis. Recent advances are leading to a deeper understanding of how the biophysical properties and the force-producing behaviors of cells are regulated, and how these forces are integrated across cell sheets during bending.

Graphene as a Prototypical Model for Two-Dimensional Continuous Mechanics
Applied Sciences, 2017 This paper reviews a few problems where continuous-medium theory specialized to two-dimensional media provides a qualitatively correct picture of the mechanical behavior of graphene. A critical analysis of the parameters involved is given.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Slot Array Antenna using Folded Waveguides [PDF]
, 2005 A highly compact slot array antenna using substrate integrated folded waveguides (SIFW) is proposed in this paper. The device has three key components: a non adiating SMA to standard waveguide transition, a power divider from standard waveguide to folded

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Adjustable thermal resistor by reversibly folding a graphene sheet [PDF]
Nanoscale, 2016 Phononic (thermal) devices are studied such as thermal diode, thermal transistors, thermal logic gates, and thermal memories. However, the thermal resistor has not been demonstrated yet. Here, we propose an instantaneously adjustable thermal resistor by folded graphene.

Decoding Structural Properties of a Partially Unfolded Protein Substrate: En Route to Chaperone Binding. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Many proteins comprising of complex topologies require molecular chaperones to achieve their unique three-dimensional folded structure. The E.coli chaperone, GroEL binds with a large number of unfolded and partially folded proteins, to facilitate proper ...
