Bio-molecular Shapes and Algebraic Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shapes of biological macromolecules--RNA, DNA, and proteins--can be represented by abstract algebraic structures provided that a suitably coarse resolution is chosen. These abstract structures, for instance partially ordered sets and permutation groups, can be used for deriving new metric distances between bimolecular shapes and for proving surprising theorems on sequence-structure relations.

Labelled structures and combinatorial species
We describe a theory of labelled structures, which intuitively consist of a labelled shape together with a mapping from labels to data. Labelled structures thus subsume algebraic data types as well as “labelled” types such as arrays and finite maps. This idea of decomposing container structures into shapes and data is an old one; our novel contribution is to explicitly mediate the decomposition...
متن کاملMAGMA-JOINED-MAGMAS: A CLASS OF NEW ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES
By left magma-$e$-magma, I mean a set containingthe fixed element $e$, and equipped by two binary operations "$cdot$", $odot$ with the property $eodot (xcdot y)=eodot(xodot y)$, namelyleft $e$-join law. So, $(X,cdot,e,odot)$ is a left magma-$e$-magmaif and only if $(X,cdot)$, $(X,odot)$ are magmas (groupoids), $ein X$ and the left $e$-join law holds.Right (and two-sided) magma-$e$-magmas are de...
متن کاملDamage detection of structures using modal strain energy with Guyan reduction method
The subject of structural health monitoring and damage identification of structures at the earliest possible stage has been a noteworthy topic for researchers in the last years. Modal strain energy (MSE) based index is one of the efficient methods which are commonly used for detecting damage in structures. It is also more effective and economical to employ some methods for reducing the degrees ...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Studies on the Characteristics of Simple and Multi-cell Shapes of Quasi-hemisphere Thin-walled Structures
Thin-walled energy absorbers are used to reduce accident induced damages. In this study, thin-walled stainless steel structures in quasi-hemisphere geometry were subjected under quasi-static loading with Santam 150KN apparatus. Experimental results were compared with results of numerical simulations by LS-DYNA and it was shown that there is a good agreement between experimental and numerical r...
متن کاملBiologically Green Synthesis of High-quality Silver Nanoparticles Using Scrophularia striata Boiss Plant Extract and Verifying Their Antibacterial Activities
In the present work, we demonstrate a facile way to study the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with strong bactericidal properties using an aqueous extract of Scrophularia striata Boiss. The bio-reduction of Ag+ ions resulted in FCC cubic structures of Ag-NPs with spherical shapes of about 16 nm. As a main aim of the present work, the antibacterial activity of the bio-synthesized A...
