Flipping the switch: tools for detecting small molecule inhibitors of staphylococcal virulence
Through the expression of the accessory gene regulator quorum sensing cascade, Staphylococcus aureus is able to produce an extensive array of enzymes, hemolysins and immunomodulators essential to its ability to spread through the host tissues and cause disease. Many have argued for the discovery and development of quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) to augment existing antibiotics as adjuvant ther...
متن کاملDetecting switch dynamics in chaotic time-waveform using a parametrized family of nonlinear predictors
An algorithm is presented for detecting switch dynamics in chaotic time-waveform. By the “switch dynamics,” we mean that the chaotic time-waveform is measured from a dynamical system whose bifurcation parameters are occasionally switched among a set of slightly different parameter values. First, the switched chaotic time-waveform is divided into windows of short-term time-waveforms. From the se...
متن کاملGreening the Switch
Active research is being conducted in reducing power consumption of all the components of the Internet. To that end, we propose schemes for power reduction in network switches − Time Window Prediction, Power Save Mode and Lightweight Alternative. These schemes are adaptive to changing traffic patterns and automatically tune their parameters to guarantee a bounded and specified increase in laten...
متن کاملThe smallest molecular switch.
Ab initio total energy calculations reveal benzene-dithiolate molecules on a gold surface, contacted by a monatomic gold STM tip to have two classes of low-energy conformations with differing symmetries. Lateral motion of the tip or excitation of the molecule cause it to change from one conformation class to the other and to switch between a strongly and a weakly conducting state. Thus, surpris...
متن کاملFlipping the fusion switch
dvancing cells periodically pull on their substrates to test the environment, say Grégory Giannone, Michael Sheetz (Columbia University, New York, NY), and colleagues. The actomyosin contractions both strengthen attachments to more solid substrates, and break off part of a signaling complex so that it can be carried into the cell. Once that retrograde signal reaches myosin, which is some distan...
