چکیده

In this work the construction and dynamic modelling of the Ion Channel Switch (ICS) biosensor is presented. A key feature of the ICS biosensor is that the detection is performed by measuring the timedependent conduction of the engineered tethered membrane which is dependent on the ensemble of aqueous pores and conducting gA dimers present. Using specific molecular components and drive potentials, the ICS can be designed to detect a specific analyte molecules of interest.

A New Lower Bound for Flexible Flow Shop Problem with Unrelated Parallel Machines

Flexible flow shop scheduling problem (FFS) with unrelated parallel machines contains sequencing in flow shop where, at any stage, there exists one or more processors. The objective consists of minimizing the maximum completion time. Because of NP-completeness of FFS problem, it is necessary to use heuristics method to address problems of moderate to large scale problem. Therefore, for assessme...

Heuristic approach to solve hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines

In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...

Computer Aided Molecular Modeling Of Membrane Metalloprotease

Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...

The structural and functional coupling of two molecular machines, the ribosome and the translocon

Ribosomes synthesizing secretory and membrane proteins are bound to translocons at the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Both the ribosome and translocon are complex macromolecular machines whose structural and functional interactions are poorly understood. A new study by Pool (Pool, M.R. 2009. J. Cell Biol. 185:889-902) has now shown that the structure of the translocon is dictated b...

Online Scheduling of Jobs for D-benevolent instances On Identical Machines

We consider online scheduling of jobs with specic release time on m identical machines. Each job has a weight and a size; the goal is maximizing total weight of completed jobs. At release time of a job it must immediately be scheduled on a machine or it will be rejected. It is also allowed during execution of a job to preempt it; however, it will be lost and only weight of completed jobs contri...
