A new method for ship inner shell optimization based on parametric technique

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2015
A new method for ship Inner Shell optimization, which is called Parametric Inner Shell Optimization Method (PISOM), is presented in this paper in order to improve both hull performance and design efficiency of transport ship.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Understanding the first steps of the complement classical pathway: Structural studies on C1-antibody complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The complement system is a complex network of plasma and membrane-associated proteins, which can produce effective immune responses to infectious micro-organisms. Deficiencies of complement proteins cause diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Different analysis strategies in the structural assessment of the St. Anne of Pietra Perduca oratory

open access: yes, 2014
The paper deals with some open issues about direct investigations and structural analysis related to the conservation of the architectural heritage. At first, it discusses the theme of the importance of the direct investigation on the monument, aimed to ...

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Surrogate model for statics of fractional thin bar element and its equivalence with mass-spring metamaterial

open access: yesScientific Reports
The paper presents a two-level metametrial homogenization procedure, in which the mechanical behavior of a bar with non-uniform stiffness profile is considered. The connection between the microstructure (spring-mass model) and the surrogate model (simple

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Role of structural analysis in floodway design process

open access: yes, 2019
Floodways are road infrastructure designed to be overtopped during flood events of relatively low average recurrence interval. When the floodwater recedes, floodways are expected to be fully functional.

Investigation of raw timber elements for the design of a hunting stand structure [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
There is an increasing need for less resource-intensive and waste-reducing measures in the design and production of timber structures. Traditionally, irregular branches from tree crowns are often left unused, despite making up nearly 50% of a tree's ...
