Improved Detection of Differential Phase Shift Keying through MultiSymbol

open access: yes, 2005
We report an improved self-homodyne detection scheme for differential phase-shift-keying that achieves close to homodyne performance and effectively reduces the influence of nonlinear phase noise, resulting in a 1.3dB sensitivity improvement over self ...

Non-steady-state photoelectromotive force effect under linear and periodical phase modulation: application to detection of Doppler frequency shift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Non-steady-state photoelectromotive force effect in the presence of periodical and linear phase shift was investigated both theoretically and experimentally.

Polarization-induced phase shift of ultrafast photocurrents

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Shift and injection currents are known to occur for linearly and circularly polarized optical excitations of semiconductors, respectively. Here, we show with room-temperature experiments that for excitation of discrete transitions the frequency dynamics ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

The shift team formation problem in multi-shift manufacturing operations [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper addresses the problem of assigning operators to teams that work in single-, two-, or three-day shift systems. The problem was motivated by, and illustrated with a case situation encountered in Dutch manufacturing industry.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Photonic Phase Shifter Based on Wavelength Dependence of Brillouin Frequency Shift

open access: yes, 2011
We present a novel radio-frequency (RF) photonic phase shifter based on wavelength dependence of Brillouin frequency shift. A continuous and full phase shift up to 360 degrees at 18 GHz is achieved when the wavelength of the optical carrier is scanned ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS 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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...
