investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
The nickel ion environment in jack bean urease.
Preliminary results of an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (e.x.a.f.s.) and X-ray absorption near edge structure study of jack bean urease have recently been reported [Hasnain & Piggott (1983) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 112, 279]. These results indicate that the environment of the nickel ion in the enzyme is similar to that in the model compounds Ni(L)2(L')1(ClO4)1 (where L is 1-n-p...
متن کاملDiscovering plausible mechanistic details of hepatic drug interactions.
We sought a single set of mechanisms that could provide a quantitative explanation of three pairs of published time series data: perfusate concentration of digoxin and its metabolite in perfusates of isolated perfused rat livers 1) in the absence of any predose and with a predose of either 2) the uptake inhibitor rifampicin or 3) the efflux inhibitor quinidine. We used the synthetic modeling an...
متن کاملApplied Force Reveals Mechanistic and Energetic Details of Transcription Termination
Transcription termination by bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) occurs at sequences coding for a GC-rich RNA hairpin followed by a U-rich tract. We used single-molecule techniques to investigate the mechanism by which three representative terminators (his, t500, and tR2) destabilize the elongation complex (EC). For his and tR2 terminators, loads exerted to bias translocation did not affect termina...
متن کاملThe demonstration of nickel in the urease of Helicobacter pylori by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
Fast protein liquid chromatography and SDS-PAGE have been used to isolate and purify Helicobacter pylori urease. A nickel component of the urease was detected in the purified proteins by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The nickel was present only in the 61 kDa polypeptide and in the ratio of between five and six atoms to one molecule of urease, suggesting a hexameric structure. These results ar...
