Improved Assessment of Globularity of Protein Structures and the Ellipsoid Profile of the Biological Assemblies from the PDB

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
In this paper, we present an update to the ellipsoid profile algorithm (EP), a simple technique for the measurement of the globularity of protein structures without the calculation of molecular surfaces.

Assessment of Globularity of Protein Structures via Minimum Volume Ellipsoids and Voxel-Based Atom Representation

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
A computer algorithm for assessment of globularity of protein structures is presented. By enclosing the input protein in a minimum volume ellipsoid (MVEE) and calculating a profile measuring how voxelized space within this shape (cubes on a uniform grid)

Brain asymmetry in the white matter making and globularity

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Recent studies from the field of language genetics and evolutionary anthropology have put forward the hypothesis that the emergence of our species-specific brain is to be understood not in terms of size, but in light of developmental changes that gave ...

No Country for Oldowan Men: Emerging Factors in Language Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Language evolution has long been researched. I will review a number of broad, emerging research directions which arguably have the potential to contribute to our understanding of language evolution.

How round is a protein? Exploring protein structures for globularity using conformal mapping [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2014
We present a new algorithm that automatically computes a measure of the geometric difference between the surface of a protein and a round sphere. The algorithm takes as input two triangulated genus zero surfaces representing the protein and the round ...

Globularity and language-readiness: generating new predictions by expanding the set of genes of interest

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
This study builds on the hypothesis put forth in Boeckx and Benitez-Burraco (2014), according to which the developmental changes expressed at the levels of brain morphology and neural connectivity that resulted in a more globular braincase in our species

Chromosomal rearrangements and protein globularity changes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from cerebrospinal fluid [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Background Meningitis is a major cause of mortality in tuberculosis (TB). It is not clear what factors promote central nervous system invasion and pathology but it has been reported that certain strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) might have ...

Cognitive and behavioral modernity in Homo erectus: skull globularity and hominin brain evolution [PDF]

open access: yesAnthropological Review, 2022
In this article we provide evidence that evolutionary pressures altered the cranial base and the mastoid region of the temporal bone more than the calvaria in the transition from H. erectus to H. sapiens.

ROTATING GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013
Internal rotation is considered to play a major role in the dynamics of some globular clusters. However, in only few cases it has been studied by quantitative application of realistic and physically justified global models. Here we present a dynamical analysis of the photometry and three-dimensional kinematics of omega Cen, 47 Tuc, and M15, by means of
