the present paper deals with a toxin producing phytoplankton (tpp)-zooplankton interaction in spatial environment in thecontext of phytoplankton bloom. in the absence of diffusion the stability of the given system in terms of co-existence and hopf bifurcation has been discussed. after that tpp-zooplankton interaction is considered in spatiotemporal domain by assuming self diffusion in both popu...

The multifunctional protein spectrin contains several different structural motifs, such as spectrin repeats and a SH3 domain. Both triple-helix spectrin repeats and the SH3 domain are believed to form independent structural entities. In alpha-spectrins the SH3 domain is localized to repeat 9, where it is positioned between helix B and helix C in the repeat unit. The presence of SH3 in repeat 9 ...

GlcV is the nucleotide binding domain of the ABC-type glucose transporter of the hyperthermoacidophile Sulfolobus solfataricus. GlcV consists of two domains, an N-terminal domain containing the typical nucleotide binding-fold and a C-terminal beta-barrel domain with unknown function. The unfolding and structural stability of the wild-type (wt) protein and three mutants that are blocked at diffe...

let $d$ be an integral domain and $star$ a semistar operation stable and of finite type on it. we define the semistar dimension (inequality) formula and discover their relations with $star$-universally catenarian domains and $star$-stably strong s-domains. as an application, we give new characterizations of $star$-quasi-pr"{u}fer domains and um$t$ domains in terms of dimension ine...

Existing methods of domain identification in proteins usually provide no information about the degree of domain independence and stability. However, this information is vital for many areas of protein research. The recently developed hierarchical clustering of correlation patterns (HCCP) technique provides machine-based domain identification in a computationally simple and physically consistent...

A study was undertaken to examine the effects of N-linked glycosylation on the structure-function of porcine pepsin. The N-linked motif was incorporated into four sites (two on the N-terminal domain and two on the C-terminal domain), and the recombinant protein expressed using Pichia pastoris. All four N-linked recombinants exhibited similar secondary and tertiary structure to nonglycosylated p...

Recombinant antibody fragments, most notably Fab and scFv, have become important tools in research, diagnostics and therapy. Since different recombinant antibody formats exist, it is crucial to understand the difference in their respective biophysical properties. We assessed the potential stability benefits of changing the scFv into the Fab format, the influence of the variable domains on the s...

The existence and stability of travelling waves are typically investigated on unbounded domains even though the domains in experiments or numerical simulations are bounded. We are interested in the eeects that the truncation of the unbounded to a large but bounded domain has on the stability properties of a nonlinear wave. These eeects depend upon the boundary conditions that are imposed on the...

We develop an asynchronous time integration and coupling method with domain decomposition for linear and non-linear problems in mechanics. To ensure stability in the time integration and in coupling between domains, we use variational integrators with local Lagrange multipliers to enforce continuity at the domain interfaces. The asynchronous integrator lets each domain step with its own time st...
