Shaping Pulses to Control Bistable Monotone Systems Using Koopman Operator [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, we further develop a recently proposed control method to switch a bistable system between its steady states using temporal pulses. The motivation for using pulses comes from biomedical and biological applications (e.g.

The Bacillus cereus spoIIS programmed cell death system
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Programmed cell death in bacteria is generally associated with two¬ component toxin antitoxin systems. The SpoIIS toxin-antitoxin system, consisting of a membrane bound SpoIISA toxin and a small, cytosolic antitoxin SpoIISB, was originally identified in ...

Expression, Purification, and Functional Analysis of Novel RelE Operon from X. nematophila
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) complexes induce programmed cell death and also function to relieve cell from stress by various response mechanisms. Escherichia coli RelB-RelE TA complex consists of a RelE toxin functionally counteracted by RelB antitoxin.

TOXIN-ANTITOXIN REACTION WITHOUT NEUTRALIZATION [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1932 1. Collodion particles adsorb diphtheria or tetanus or botulinus toxins. These toxins are retained on the particles when washed but are at least in part released in the animal. 2. The adsorbed toxins are neutralized by adsorption of the corresponding antitoxins but are unaffected by other serums. 3.

sRNA Antitoxins: More than One Way to Repress a Toxin
Toxins, 2014 Bacterial toxin-antitoxin loci consist of two genes: one encodes a potentially toxic protein, and the second, an antitoxin to repress its function or expression. The antitoxin can either be an RNA or a protein.

Identification of a VapBC toxin–antitoxin system in a thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27 [PDF]
, 2017 There are 12 putative toxin–antitoxin (TA) loci in the Thermus thermophilus HB27 genome, including four VapBC and three HicBA families. Expression of these seven putative toxin genes in Escherichia coli demonstrated that one putative VapC toxin TTC0125 ...
