Bioinformatics Analysis of Actin Molecules: Why Quantity Does Not Translate Into Quality?
It is time to review all the available data and find the distinctive characteristics of actin that make it such an important cell molecule. The presented double-stranded organization of filamentous actin cannot explain the strong polymorphism of actin ...

Heat resistant polymers of oxidized styrylphosphine [PDF]
Homopolymers, copolymers and terpolymers of a styrene based monomer are prepared by polymerizing at least one oxidized styrylphosphine monomer or by polymerizing p-diphenylphosphinestyrene and then oxidizing the polymerized monomer with an organoazide ...

Regulation of UVR8 photoreceptor dimer/monomer photo-equilibrium in Arabidopsis plants grown under photoperiodic conditions [PDF]
The UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) photoreceptor specifically mediates photomorphogenic responses to UV-B. Photoreception induces dissociation of dimeric UVR8 into monomers to initiate responses.

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Relating monomer to centre-of-mass distribution functions in polymer solutions [PDF]
A relationship between the measurable monomer-monomer structure factor, and the centre-of-mass (CM) structure factor of dilute or semi-dilute polymer solutions is derived from Ornstein-Zernike relations within the ``polymer reference interaction site model'' (PRISM) formalism, by considering the CM of each polymer as an auxiliary site and neglecting ...

Kosterlitz Thouless Universality in Dimer Models
Using the monomer-dimer representation of strongly coupled U(N) lattice gauge theories with staggered fermions, we study finite temperature chiral phase transitions in (2+1) dimensions.

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

The present studies were carried out with the aim of developing monomers for dental resin, for which the authors synthesized 13 kinds of monomers with a P-N-bond skeleton, containing polymerizing groups and hydrophobic groups in the molecule.The conditions of synthesis and the properties of the monomers were then examined and the results obtained were ...

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to
