Crystal structure of gingipain R: an Arg-specific bacterial cysteine proteinase with a caspase-like fold.
Gingipains are cysteine proteinases acting as key virulence factors of the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis, the major pathogen in periodontal disease. The 1.5 and 2.0 A crystal structures of free and D-Phe-Phe-Arg-chloromethylketone-inhibited gingipain R reveal a 435-residue, single-polypeptide chain organized into a catalytic and an immunoglobulin-like domain. The catalytic domain is subdiv...
متن کاملBenthic Invertebrate Community Structure
Fundamental to the scientific method is the use of controls or control conditions against which results obtained under test conditions are compared. In field studies, all variables cannot be controlled and replicates cannot be randomly assigned to treatments, so an attempt is made to choose test and control conditions (often represented by different sites) that are as similar as possible; the v...
متن کاملAn efficient finite difference time domain algorithm for band structure calculations of Phononic crystal
In this paper, a new algorithm for studying elastic wave propagation in the phononic crystals is presented. At first, the displacement-based forms of elastic wave equations are derived and then the forms are discretized using finite difference method. So the new algorithm is called the displacement-based finite difference time domain (DBFDTD). Three numerical examples are computed with this met...
متن کاملCaspase activity during cell stasis: avoidance of apoptosis in an invertebrate extremophile, Artemia franciscana.
Evaluation of apoptotic processes downstream of the mitochondrion reveals caspase-9- and low levels of caspase-3-like activities in partly purified extracts of Artemia franciscana embryos. However, in contrast to experiments with extracts of human hepatoma cells, cytochrome c fails to activate caspase-3 or -9 in extracts from A. franciscana. Furthermore, caspase-9 activity is sensitive to exoge...
متن کاملSYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [PPh ] [WOS (CUNCS) ]
The reaction of [PPhJ, NOS,] with CuCl and KSCN (1 :3:3) in acetone produces the yell-ow crystals of [PPh,], [WOS,(CuNCS),]. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1(2), z=2, a=12.4823(7), b=12.9224(7), c=18.6395(10)?, ?=83.907(5), ?= 73.152(4), Y= 65.194(4)'. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal Xray diffraction methods (Mo-K ?) and refined by least-squares calculations ...
