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.

Metals, 2019 Short crack phenomena are considered important for lamellar structures in γ-TiAl alloys and have been thoroughly investigated in the past. However, the short cracks in the previous studies were nearly all introduced artificially.

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 ...

Influence of the Stress Ratio on the Multiaxial Fatigue Behavior of Composite Materials [PDF]
, 2022 In the present work a study is made of the influence of the stress ratio (R) on the multiaxial fatigue behavior of composite materials. Experimental data for R = 0, 0.5, -1 and different multixial loading conditions are presented.

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

Heat Stress and feeding strategies in meat-type chickens
, 2011 Heat stress can induce hyperthermia in poultry. A reduction in heat load can be achieved by increasing the possibilities for dissipation, decreasing the level of heat production or by changing the thermal production pattern within a day.

A modelling technique for calculating stress intensity factors for structures reinforced by bonded straps. Part I: Mechanisms and formulation [PDF]
, 2010 This paper describes a 2D FE modelling technique for predicting fatigue crack growth life of integral structures reinforced by bonded straps. This kind of design offers a solution to the intrinsic lack of damage tolerance of integral structures.

True stress and Poisson's ratio of tendons during loading [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2011 Excessive axial tension is very likely involved in the aetiology of tendon lesions, and the most appropriate indicator of tendon stress state is the true stress, the ratio of instantaneous load to instantaneous cross-sectional area (CSA). Difficulties to measure tendon CSA during tension often led to approximate true stress by assuming that CSA is ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
