Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Vector Additive Decomposition for 2D Fractional Diffusion Equation

Nonlinear Analysis, 2008
Such physical processes as the diffusion in the environments with fractal geometry and the particles’ subdiffusion lead to the initial value problems for the nonlocal fractional order partial differential equations. These equations are the generalization

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of a partial functional differential equation

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2000
The asymptotic behavior of solutions of an asymptotically autonomous partial functional differential equation is investigated. The aim of the present paper is to extend our earlier result for ordinary functional differential equations and difference ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

On solutions of certain compatible systems of quadratic trinomial Partial differential-difference equations

Matematychni Studii
This paper has involved the use of a variety of variations of the Fermat-type equation $f^n(z)+g^n(z)=1$, where $n(\geq 2)\in\mathbb{N}$. Many researchers have demonstrated a keen interest to investigate the Fermat-type equations for entire and meromorphic solutions of several complex variables over the past two decades.

C-Integrability Test for Discrete Equations via Multiple Scale Expansions

Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2010
In this paper we are extending the well known integrability theorems obtained by multiple scale techniques to the case of linearizable difference equations. As an example we apply the theory to the case of a differential-difference dispersive equation of

Numerical Solution of Three-Dimensional Transient Heat Conduction Equation in Cylindrical Coordinates

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2022
Heat equation is a partial differential equation used to describe the temperature distribution in a heat-conducting body. The implementation of a numerical solution method for heat equation can vary with the geometry of the body.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics
