Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Impact of sex, fat distribution and initial body weight on oxytocin’s body weight regulation

Scientific Reports, 2017
Obesity is considered as a worldwide problem in both males and females. Although many studies have demonstrated the efficiency of oxytocin (Oxt) as an anti-obesity peptide, there is no comparative study of its effect in males and females. This study aims

Minimizing Induced Drag with Weight Distribution, Lift Distribution, Wingspan, and Wing-Structure Weight

AIAA Aviation 2019 Forum, 2019
ABSTRACTBecause the wing-structure weight required to support the critical wing section bending moments is a function of wingspan, net weight, weight distribution, and lift distribution, there exists an optimum wingspan and wing-structure weight for any fixed net weight, weight distribution, and lift distribution, which minimises the induced drag in ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

The impact of different ankle positions on postural balance and weight-bearing distributions during different kneeling positions

Turkish Journal of Kinesiology
The objective of this study is to investigate the variations in weight distribution and balance parameters between the knees when executing different kneeling positions with different ankle conditions. Twenty-eight participants, with a mean age of 23.35 ±

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Multi-component network product coding for cooperative relaying

Tongxin xuebao, 2013
Network product coding, a promising and anti-fading technology, can not only outperform the conventional XOR based network coding scheme in bit error rate performance, but also reduce the number of relays required in the network.

Methylation biomarkers can distinguish pleural mesothelioma from healthy pleura and other pleural pathologies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed and validated a DNA methylation–based biomarker panel to distinguish pleural mesothelioma from other pleural conditions. Using the IMPRESS technology, we translated this panel into a clinically applicable assay. The resulting two classifier models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving high AUC values and strong diagnostic accuracy.

Weight Distribution of Periodic Errors and Optimal/Anti-Optimal Linear Codes

Journal of Mathematics, 2014
The paper discusses weight distribution of periodic errors and then the optimal case on bounds of parity check digits for (n=n1+n2, k) linear codes over GF(q) that corrects all periodic errors of order r in the first block of length n1 and all periodic ...
