On Mersenne Finite Operators and Their Quaternion Counterparts

open access: yesCumhuriyet Science Journal
In this study, we introduce the Mersenne finite operator sequences, derived by applying a finite operator to Mersenne sequences, and investigate their fundamental properties. We establish the recurrence relations, derive a Binet-like formula, and present

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 ...

Crystallographic Quaternions

open access: yesSymmetry
Symmetry transformations in crystallography are traditionally represented as equations and matrices, which can be suitable both for orthonormal and crystal reference systems. Quaternion representations, easily constructed for any orientations of symmetry operations, owing to the vector structure based on the direction of the rotation axes or of the ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

PADOVAN AND PELL-PADOVAN QUATERNIONS

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we define Padovan and Pell-Padovan quaternions. We give Binet-like formulas, generating functions and sums formulas.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Generalized Pauli Fibonacci Polynomial Quaternions

open access: yesAxioms
Since Hamilton proposed quaternions as a system of numbers that does not satisfy the ordinary commutative rule of multiplication, quaternion algebras have played an important role in many mathematical and physical studies.

A Generalization of Fibonacci and Lucas Quaternions

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we give a generalization of the Fibonacci and Lucas quaternions. We obtain the Binet formulas, generating functions, and some certain identities for these quaternions which include generalizations of some results of ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.
