In this paper, an adaptive dynamic programming discrete-time linear quadratic Riccati (ADP-DTLQR) control is designed for electromagnetic levitation system (EMS) to track the reference trajectories and preserve stability in severe situations efficiently. The EMS has a strongly nonlinear unstable nature. ADP-DTLQR approach novel method based on Q-learning algorithm unknown systems causal manner....

This paper investigates the optimal control of continuous-time multi-controller systems with completely unknown dynamics using data-driven adaptive dynamic programming (DD-ADP). In this investigation, all controllers take actions together as a team, and they have precisely same cost function, which is actually fully cooperative game. According to theory, HJB equation corresponding game derived....

Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), an oligomeric protein with one A subunit (LTA) and five B subunits, exerts its effects via the ADP-ribosylation of Gsalpha, a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein that activates adenylyl cyclase. LTA also ADP-ribosylates simple guanidino compounds (e.g., arginine) and catalyzes its own auto-ADP-ribosylation. All LTA-catalyzed reactions are enhanc...

It has been shown that thrombopoietin (TPO) amplifies agonist-induced platelet activation. However, the precise mechanism of action of TPO has not yet been fully elucidated. We have previously reported that the adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) via the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway correlates with the ADP-induced platelet-d...

Kemptide (Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly) is a good substrate for cholera toxin in comparison with the angiotensin peptides. Because kemptide contains two potential ADP-ribosylation sites and, is also a good substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase, it was possible to gain some insight into factors influencing the specificity of cholera toxin and to study the relationship between phosphorylatio...

NAD+ glycohydrolase (NADase) and non-enzymic ADP-ribosylation have been thought to be involved in the regulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. In this study it was found that several conditions (5 mM nicotinamide, 5 mM 3-aminobenzamide, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM ATP, 10 mM dithiothreitol) known to strongly inhibit the NADase decreased ADP-ribosylation in bovine liver mitochondrial membranes with [32P]NAD...

Steady-state binding of ADP to blood platelets and isolated membranes has not previously been obtained because of complications arising from metabolism of the ligand and dilution due to its secretion from storage granules. In the present studies, competition binding isotherms (n = 9) using paraformaldehyde-fixed platelets showed that [2-3 H]ADP bound to two sites with a small amount (approximat...

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a chemical modification of macromolecules that plays an important role in regulation of quintessential biological processes such as DNA repair, transcription, chromatin remodelling, stress response, apoptosis, bacterial metabolism and many others. ADP-ribosylation is carried out by ADP-ribosyltransferase proteins, such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases...

Poly(ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of nuclear proteins typical of most eukaryotic cells. This process participates in DNA replication and repair and is mainly regulated by two enzymes, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, which is responsible for the synthesis of polymers of ADP-ribose, and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, which performs polymer degradation. The aim of this wor...
