Nanomechanical Characterization of Apolipoprotein A-I Amyloid Fibrils
East European Journal of Physics, 2020 Amyloid fibrils represent a special type of protein aggregates that are currently receiving enormous attention due to their strong implication in molecular etiology of a wide range of human disorders.

A Transcriptomic Approach to Ribbon Worm Systematics (Nemertea): Resolving the Pilidiophora Problem [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Resolving the deep relationships of ancient animal lineages has proven difficult using standard Sanger-sequencing approaches with a handful of markers. We thus reassess the relatively well-studied phylogeny of the phylum Nemertea (ribbon worms)-for which the targeted gene approaches had resolved many clades but had left key phylogenetic gaps-by using a

A Pipeline for Volume Electron Microscopy of the Caenorhabditis elegans Nervous System. [PDF]

Differential geometry of polymer models: worm-like chains, ribbons and Fourier knots [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2007 We analyze several continuum models of polymers: worm-like chains, ribbons and Fourier knots. We show that the torsion of worm-like chains diverges and conclude that such chains can not be described by the Frenet-Serret (FS) equation of space curves.

Elasticity Theory of a Twisted Stack of Plates [PDF]
, 1997 We present an elastic model of B-form DNA as a stack of thin, rigid plates or base pairs that are not permitted to deform. The symmetry of DNA and the constraint of plate rigidity limit the number of bulk elastic constants contributing to a macroscopic ...

Investigation of Peptide Toxin Diversity in Ribbon Worms (Nemertea) Using a Transcriptomic Approach
Toxins, 2022 Nemertea is a phylum of nonsegmented worms (supraphylum: Spiralia), also known as ribbon worms. The members of this phylum contain various toxins, including peptide toxins. Here, we provide a transcriptomic analysis of peptide toxins in 14 nemertean species, including Cephalothrix cf. simula, which was sequenced in the current study.

X-ray measurements of stresses and defects in EFG and large grained polycrystalline silicon ribbons [PDF]
, 1979 The Bond method was employed to measure the lattice parameter in an area of 0.4 mm in diameter of EFG Si-ribbons to an accuracy of + or - 0.00008 A. A Bond goniometer was built which included a goniostat with a special specimen holder to mount ribbons 1 ...

Freshwater Ribbon Worms (Nemertea) from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park [PDF]
Journal of the North Carolina Academy of Science, 2014 Abstract Freshwater ribbon worms collected in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from 9 June 2007 until 28 September 2010 are reported. All six specimens are identified as genus Prostoma. Species identification is not concluded and also no conclusion is made whether any of the specimens are of a new or undescribed species.
