N-PEGylation of a Reverse Turn Is Stabilizing in Multiple Sequence Contexts, unlike N-GlcNAcylation

Glycosylation of the enhanced aromatic sequon is similarly stabilizing in three distinct reverse turn contexts.

Cotranslational N-glycosylation can accelerate protein folding, slow protein unfolding, and increase protein stability, but the molecular basis for these energetic effects is incompletely understood. N-glycosylation of proteins at naïve sites could be a useful strategy for stabilizing proteins in therapeutic and research applications, but without engineering guidelines, often results in unpredi...

Efficient Reverse Converter for Three Modules Set {2^n-1,2^(n+1)-1,2^n} in Multi-Part RNS

Residue Number System is a numerical system which arithmetic operations are performed parallelly. One of the main factors that affects the system’s performance is the complexity of reverse converter. It should be noted that the complexity of this part should not affect the earned speed of parallelly performed arithmetic unit. Therefore in this paper a high speed converter for moduli set {2n-1, ...

N-cadherin: stabilizing synapses

Spines are sites of excitatory synapse formation in central neurons. Alterations in spine structure and function are widely believed to actively contribute to the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory. In this issue, Mendez et al. (2010. J. Cell Biol. doi:10.1083/jcb.201003007) demonstrate a pivotal role for the cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin in activity-mediated spine stabilization, of...
