For Structural Biology, Try Infrared Instead

Don't try to convert the antivaccinators, instead target the fence-sitters.

Structural Biology for Virus Research

Viruses are strictly dependent on target host cells for their amplification. However, each virus has a unique strategy at each replication step, beginning with entry into the cell, followed by transcription, translation, assembly of viral genome/proteins, and finishing with the cellular release of progeny virions. Extensive studies utilizing bio-structural technology have revealed detailed, bot...

Structural biology

doesn't know which Academy member is handling the paper unless it is accepted. To make room for the extra papers to be submitted via track II, PNAS has reduced the number of papers a member is allowed to communicate to the journal annually from six to four. Does the new system work? Those who have tried it say that there are many frustrating teething problems. Apparently one problem is that the...

.1 First Try 1.2 Second Try

Suppose we are given a graph G = (V,E). We would like to solve some cut problem (i.e. min-cut, s-t min cut, sparsest cut) and so on. The running time of algorithms for these problems typically depends on the number of edges in the graph, which might be as high as O(n). Is there any way to approximate our graph with a sparse graph G′ in which all cuts are approximately of the same size? We will ...
