BACKGROUND Reelin (RELN) is a glycoprotein secreted preferentially by cortical gamma-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) interneurons (layers I and II) that binds to integrin receptors located on dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons or on GABAergic ...

Polyelectrolyte Polypeptide Scaling Laws Via Mechanical and Dielectric Relaxation Measurements [PDF]
Experimental results from mechanical viscoelastic as well as dielectric relaxation times were compared to theoretical expectations utilizing polymer scaling theory. Viscoelastic relaxation of a hydrogel at 33% relative humidity fabricated from co-poly-L-(glutamic acid$_{4}$, tyrosine$_{1}$) [PLEY(4:1)] crosslinked with poly-L-lysine scaled with ...

Parallelization and scalability analysis of inverse factorization using the Chunks and Tasks programming model [PDF]
We present three methods for distributed memory parallel inverse factorization of block-sparse Hermitian positive definite matrices. The three methods are a recursive variant of the AINV inverse Cholesky algorithm, iterative refinement, and localized inverse factorization, respectively.

γ-Aminobutyric acid found in fermented foods and beverages: current trends
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is synthesised by glutamic acid decarboxylase which catalyses the decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid. L-glutamic acid is formed by α-ketoglutarate in the TCA cycle by glutamic acid dehydrogenase (GDH).

Coordinated Slowing of Metabolism in Enteric Bacteria under Nitrogen Limitation: A Perspective [PDF]
It is natural to ask how bacteria coordinate metabolism when depletion of an essential nutrient limits their growth, and they must slow their entire rate of biosynthesis. A major nutrient with a fluctuating abundance is nitrogen. The growth rate of enteric bacteria under nitrogen-limiting conditions is known to correlate with the internal concentration

Enhanced self-attraction of proteins and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
Statistical analysis of protein-protein interactions shows anomalously high frequency of homodimers [Ispolatov, I., et al. (2005) Nucleic Acids Res 33, 3629-35]. Furthermore, recent findings [Wright, C.F., et al. (2005) Nature 438, 878-81] demonstrate that maintaining low sequence identity is a key evolutionary mechanism that inhibits protein ...
