Efficient Design of a Complete Rule Search in Sparsely Populated Search Spaces

Single molecule force spectroscopy reveals a weakly populated microstate of the FnIII domains of tenascin.

The native states of proteins exist as an ensemble of conformationally similar microstates. The fluctuations among different microstates are of great importance for the functions and structural stability of proteins. Here, we demonstrate that single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to directly probe the existence of multiple folded microstates. We used the AFM to repeatedly st...

Agent-populated Active Networks

 Active networking aims at transforming passive data carriers to active, dynamically configurable machines that no only pass data to each other but also perform computation on those data. In such a framework mobile agents can help either as carriers of the active code to be installed on active nodes or even as actors by managing the node autonomously. This paper explores the applicability of t...

Search for new iron single-molecule magnets

The synthesis, X-ray structure, and magnetic properties of a trinuclear iron complex with the formulation [Fe3O2Cl2(4,7-Mephen)6](BF4)3 (complex 1) are reported. DC magnetic susceptibility measurements show the Fe atoms are antiferromagnetically coupled, yielding an S /5/2 ground state. An investigation as to whether complex 1 exhibits the properties associated with singlemolecule magnetism was...

Target search on a dynamic DNA molecule.

We study a protein-DNA target search model with explicit DNA dynamics applicable to in vitro experiments. We show that the DNA dynamics plays a crucial role for the effectiveness of protein "jumps" between sites distant along the DNA contour but close in three-dimensional space. A strongly binding protein that searches by one-dimensional sliding and jumping alone explores the search space less ...
