Topological optimization and inverse problems
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023 The topological derivative of an arbitrary shape functional is introduced in [29] for 2D elasticity. The optimality conditions for general shape optimization problems are established in [30] using the shape variations including boundary and topology ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Optimality Theory and the Minimalist Program
, 2006 In this paper I argue that an OT-approach to grammar is actually essential to minimalist investigations, because it dramatically widens the set of linguistic properties potentially reducible to interface conditions while at the same time dispensing with ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Computational Optimality Theory
, 1995 In Optimality Theory, a linguistic input is assigned a grammatical structural description by selecting, from an infinite set of candidate structural descriptions, the description which best satisfies a ranked set of universal constraints.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Average Relaxations of Extremal Problems [PDF]
In this paper extremal problems that include averaging operation in constraints and objective are considered. The relaxation caused by a replacement of a problem without averaging with a problem that includes averaging is formally defined and ...

, 1995 In this paper, we propose to start addressing the issues outlined above from the perspective of Optimality Theory (OT, Prince and Smolensky, 1993) and test the hypothesis that different patterns of extractability across languages result from different ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

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 ...
